Episode 0725

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	David gets a call from his mother that her pipes have burst and need to be fixed right away. He can't leave Hooper's Store unattended so he asks Susan and Luis to look after things, but they're busy (even Big Bird has to help his cousin Timalina put her nest back together). Cookie Monster has quietly been standing by the whole time and offers to look after the store. David laughs this off because he knows Cookie Monster can't be trusted alone with all the cookies in the store. Nevertheless, Cookie swears "monster's honor" with a brief ritual and David decides to take a chance. Alone in the store, smelling the open case of nearby cookies, Cookie wonders what he's gotten himself into.

 	SCENE 6 	David returns from cleaning up his mother's flooded apartment and parks his bike next to the store. He greets Cookie Monster at the window and commends him for keeping his promise not to eat the cookies. His mind on the ordeal he just dealt with, he enters the store closing the door behind him. By the time he reaches the back wall, he slowly begins to realize the space around him is empty. Slowly losing his sanity, David cries his way through asking Cookie Monster what happened while he was gone. Cookie asks him not to get excited, but explains that although he gave monster's honor to not eat the cookies, he made no such pledge about not eating the store. 
David continues to break down as Susan and Luis enter the back door, immediately see what's happened, and do their best to console David. They assure him that they'll rebuild, while Luis hands a hammer to Cookie Monster to help (he instinctly begins to eat it). Cookie Monster asks David that since he did so good watching the store, can he now eat the cookies for dessert?

 	SCENE 7 	David is in a trance, unable to accept the reality of Cookie Monster having eaten the entire store. Luis assures him that the stuff they're using to rebuild looks just like the old stuff. David stares into the distance and repeats the events that have transpired. Cookie asks Susan if David is going to be alright and continues working as Big Bird announces the sponsors. The credits follow.
 	CLOSING SIGNS 	David holds the Sesame Street sign, while Luis and Susan hold the CTW sign.
