Episode 3316

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	COLD OPEN	At the playground, Celina (with help from Rosita, Telly, and Slimey) introduces today's sponsors and topics, including the word "banana." Alice repeats everything they say, especially the word "banana" which she says over and over.
 	SCENE 1 	Celina asks Alice to stop saying "banana" as Slimey helps demonstrate "beginning," "middle," and "end" by drawing a letter W on his miniature pad of paper. After the beginning and the middle of his writing, Alice starts saying "banana" again, distracting Telly and making him miss the end. Celina thinks she has an idea to give him closure...
