Tamir and Gabrielle show Elmo and Abby two photos they've already added to the album (one of Gabrielle and Nell making pecan pie and one of Tamir and Nell playing soccer), when the remaining four photos blow away. Time for a photo hunt!
 	SCENE 1 cont'd	The gang look all around Sesame Street for the photos, until Abby eventually finds a picture hidden inside of flowers. This picture isn't one of Grandma Nell, but of Tamir's mother when she was young. Tamir demonstrates that he and his mom have the same skin color. Now, they still have three photos left to find.
 	SCENE 1 cont'd	Alan finds two more of their photos. One of which is of Gabrielle's dad, who, as Elmo points out, has a different skin color from his daughter. Tamir explains that there are many different colors of skin in his family because of melanin, something different people have different amounts of that affects the color of your skin. One left to go!
 	SCENE 1 cont'd	The four look all over for the final photo, but can't seem to find it anywhere, until they find it stuck up in a tree.

Nell then starts up a song about how together they are a happy family with all different skin colors. Alan then takes a photo of everyone together.

 	Celebrity 	Athlete Naomi Osaka is about to teach Elmo, Charlie, and Gabrielle how to play tennis, but they need to put on sunscreen first. Gabrielle asks if she needs to wear sunscreen despite having a different color skin. Osaka explains that all skin has melanin in it, and that people with darker skin have more than those with lighter skin. Super Sunscreen arrives and explains that, while melanin does protect the skin, you still need sunscreen to be a "melanin helper." Another type of "melanin helper" is visors, which Osaka provides for everyone. Now that they are protected against the sun, they are ready to play.
