Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Luis greets the viewer when he hears a strange noise from Oscar's trash can. Oscar is going "Grouch fishing" in his pool, using some fishbones thrown out from Hooper's Store. He asks Luis to measure his catches; he first catches two one-footers, then emerges with a two-foot fish skeleton. "And just when I thought it was safe to go back into the trash can," says Oscar.

 	SCENE 2 	Big Bird and Snuffy play pirates when Maria asks them to entertain Gabi while she makes a quick run back to the apartment. They struggle to find an age-appropriate pretending game they can play, as she's too little to play pirates, cowboys, or astronauts. They resolve to pretend to be babysitters, but find it resembles their real-life situation too closely. When Maria returns, Big Bird and Snuffy are grateful as Gabi was able to dodge seasickness, falling off her horse, and being captured by moon monsters.

 	SCENE 4 	Having been given the tuba back from Bob, Telly intends to give the tuba to baby Gabi since it now sounds like a kazoo. He waits for her to return from the store with Maria, and watches as Luis installs some guard rails to their stove to prevent Gabi from burning herself. Telly points out some other fixtures Gabi might hurt herself on, but Luis points out the ways they've already made those safe. Luis goes to meet Maria at the store, while Telly stays behind to think of a way to baby-proof his tuba.

 	SCENE 5 	The Rodriguez family returns and hears Telly's ridiculous explanations for why he's baby-proofed his tuba gift - she might mistake it for an ice cream cone or balance it on her nose.
