 	COLD OPEN 	What's the Word on the Street?: Skin
 	SCENE 	Mando welcomes the viewer as he draws a portrait of himself. He finds himself joined by Elmo, Abby and Big Bird, all dressed in snazzy outfits for today's meeting of the Sesame Street Snazzy Society. They point out how snazzy the viewer looks too. They can't start without their president - Segi, when a snazzy chicken and penguin chorus introduce her ("Make Way for Her Snazziness"). As Mando heads off, Segi begins the meeting with the club dance - the "Snazzy Shuffle."
 	SCENE cont'd 	Next, Segi is going to read the latest addition to the Snazzy Jazzy book series - Snazzy Jazzy and the Snazziest Toy. In the book, Snazzy Jazzy tries to find the snazziest toy in the toy store. She happens upon a teddy bear, but finds it's too brown to be snazzy. Segi suddenly stops reading and runs off with the book.
 	SCENE cont'd 	Mando finds Segi just as she tosses her tiara into the trash. She explains that if Snazzy Jazzy doesn't think brown is snazzy, she can't be snazzy either because of her brown skin. She adds it's in a book, so it must be true. Mando calls out Leela and Chris and asks Segi if she finds them snazzy. They then sing "The Color of Me" to show her the different shades of brown and how great they can be. Elmo, Abby and Big Bird join the group to continue the meeting and Segi sees how snazzy she can be. They all dance to the "Snazzy Shuffle" once more.

 	Muppets / Animation	Abby's Flying Fairy SchoolMrs. Sparklenose steers the school to their field trip location: Colonial Trolliamsberg. However, Blögg (being half-Troll) seems down about the trip. When they arrive, the Troll guard asks them a riddle so they can pass: "What has one line down and one line across and you need it to tickle, and tie, and toss?" The guard also notices Blögg's wings, which he tries claiming are "armpit-coolers". Gonnigan and Abby ask Spot, who shows them the alphabet. They then realize the answer is the letter T.Inside the town, Blögg makes more attempts to hide his wings by putting a backpack over them (causing everything inside to spill out) and a large sweater. Abby and Gonnigan meet a candlestick maker, who asks them to estimate how many ears full of wax it'll take to make one candle. Gonnigan's guess turns out to be right (6 ears worth). They then head to the center of town, where Garfunkel the Griffin is performing. However, Niblet's flash-photography causes Garfunkel to freak out and angrily fly to the sky and the only way to get him down is to whisper "Nap time" in his ear. Abby tries, but the person must be a troll. Mrs. Sparklenose explains to Blögg that sometimes "Differences make the difference", boosting his confidence and he flies up to put Garfunkel to sleep. Everyone in the town reveres him. (re-scored theme song)
