 	COLD OPEN 	What's the Word on the Street?: Amphibian
 	SCENE 	Alan, Abby and Elmo are looking things up on his tablet computer, when a frog (Joey Mazzarino) runs by, chased by a weary princess (Stephanie D'Abruzzo). She explains she's trying to kiss the frog and turn him into a prince. However, as she demonstrates, every time she goes near the frog, he hops away. Abby can't magically keep him put, as it goes against rule 47 in her Fairy Godmother handbook ("A fairy must not cast a spell on someone who's already under a spell.").
 	SCENE cont'd 	Abby and Elmo think about the problem and get an idea: they need more information on frogs to help formulate a way of catching him. They consult the computer and find frogs croak to attract other frogs. They begin croaking and the frog appears. The princess sneaks over, but he hops away before she can kiss him.
 	SCENE cont'd 	The computer now says frogs like flies they can catch with their tongues. Abby and Elmo continue to croak while Alan portrays a fly. The frog whips his tongue at Alan and as he pulls him to his mouth, the princess finally kisses him, but nothing happens.
 	SCENE cont'd 	The princess is upset the frog isn't really a prince, until Elmo realizes that's perfect: if he's not already under a spell, Abby can magically make him a prince. Abby waves her wand and at first gives the frog prince clothes, then a prince body and finally a prince voice. The frog prince isn't sure what a prince does and they show him on the computer. The frog prince isn't too keen on the situation and starts feeling sad. Everyone but the princess can see why and he explains in song that the life of a frog is the "Only Life for Me."
 	SCENE cont'd 	The princess sees he's happier as a frog and has him changed back. She finds herself charmed by his froggy antics and befriends him. "Who needs a prince when you've got a frog," she states as she accompanies the frog to the pond.
 	Muppets / Celebrity	Conan O'Brien talks about the word amphibian, but hasn't brought any visual aids. Abby magically conjures up a toad and newt, before turning Conan into a frog. She changes him back, but finds a few side effects.

 	Muppets / Animation	Abby's Flying Fairy SchoolAn awful smell fills the classroom. The source is Blögg's "Schlubby," an old, dirty, smelly sock that he treasures. He throws it into some magic mud to make mud pies with, but it comes alive. It starts running around the room, dirtying everything (including Abby). The only way to make him stop is to clean him, which Blögg reluctantly agrees to do. He tries to wash him by licking (like a cat), but ends up lassoing his tongue around Peck. Gonnigan and Niblet turn on a hose and clean Abby, but not Schlubby. Abby twinkle-thinks and gets the idea to use a washing machine to clean him. Although the sock comes out clean, Blögg is happy because now he can get it dirty all over again, and then Mrs. Sparklenose tells her students that the only task that they have to complete is clean the classroom up, and then Gonnigan gets his hose out and tells Niblet to turn the water on again, and so Niblet does so, causing Gonnigan to whoosh around the classroom spraying water at everything in the classroom while holding the hose.

Mr. Johnson points out that they should use a pulley to make him fly, showing him how it works. Grover gives it a try, taking Mr. Johnson up (and down) with the curtains.
