Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	In the kitchen, Susan helps grade papers with Gordon as they welcome the viewer. They suddenly hear Oscar shouting for help outside. They rush over to his can and find him in his guest trash can instead of his usual one. They learn that it's flooded because his swimming pool overflowed, and all of Oscar's furniture and belongings are floating around. ("My train is submerged!") Gordon and Susan begin baling out the water into buckets with a tin cup, counting up to 8…

 	SCENE 2 	Back in the kitchen, Susan dries Oscar off, and Gordon and Bob come to his aid with dry rags, a straw from Big Bird (so he can drink up the leftover water), Rubber Duckie from Ernie to cheer him up, and an inside-out peanut butter and jelly sandwich from Buddy and Jim (Oscar: "They still haven't figured that out, have they?"). Oscar is furious at everyone's hospitality, because it means he has to resentfully thank them.

Gordon states that a monster will come out and start blowing a flute. Ernie thinks that's silly, but is surprised when that exact thing happens.
