Picture	Segment 	Description
 	COLD OPEN	Gina tells the viewer the sponsors they'll be seeing today... as well as why Wolfgang is acting nuttier than usual.
 	SCENE 1 	Gina has lost sight of Wolfgang and wonders where he went. Meanwhile, Luis and Gordon peer out of the 123 Sesame Street doors to make sure the coast is clear, explaining to Gina they're going fishing and don't want Wolfgang to know since he'll scare the fish away. Since the seal's out of sight, they quickly load up Gordon's car and head inside. However, as soon as they start the car, Wolfgang reveals that he has been in the back seat the entire time.
