Picture	Segment 	Description
 	COLD OPEN 	Elmo is with his mommy and daddy to demonstrate today's topic of families, and he initiates a couple of group hugs.
 	SCENE 1 	Elmo is at the park with Mia and Frank about to have a family picnic. Frank has made tiny sandwiches, just like his mom used to make. They get ready to make pasta salad, but they forgot how to make it, so they call Nina...
 	SCENE 1 cont'd	When asked about the pasta salad, Nina recalls her Abuela Sofía making the family recipe, and the three collect ingredients from Nina's memory. Only one problem, Nina doesn't remember the final, secret ingredient, so they call Dave. After having an argument with Nina about beanbag toss, Dave attempts to tell everyone the secret ingredient, but loses connection. Nina then hangs up to search the family cookbook.
 	SCENE 1 cont'd	Mia and Elmo then call Louie to ask him if he knows anything. Louie recalls that his cousin Carlo puts peppers in his pasta salad.
 	SCENE 1 cont'd	Frank then comes back, still secret ingredient-less. Elmo then points out he knows someone who knows a bit about food: Cookie Monster, and the two call him and his mommy. Cookie Monster suggests that the secret ingredient is chocolate chips. His mom disagrees, but before she can answer, Cookie interrupts to suggest butterscotch chips. His mom then guides him in saying the word "cheese" which turns out to (supposedly) be the secret ingredient. Frank is happy to let everyone know he has cheese in the cooler.
 	SCENE 1 cont'd	Elmo mixes all the ingredients together, but the pasta doesn't look right. They call Dave once more, and again Dave breaks up before he can answer. He did however make a /f/ sound before disconnecting, so that narrows it down to words starting with F. Mia, Frank, and Elmo then call Abby and Rudy to help with the alphabet request. The siblings suggest French toast and fish sticks.
