Episode 26: "Chris Blackwell's New Babysitter"

**COLD OPEN**

* What's the Word on the Street?: Fabulous
* **SCENE** - Karlie Pascuzzo plays with Jacob Kramer and meets an excited Chris Blackwell and Maya Morales. Chris explains that tonight, his parents are going out to dinner, leaving them with their favorite babysitter, Caroline Botelho. However, Zoe Costello and Tommy White arrive with bad news: Caroline came down with a cold and can’t come over. Chris is crushed, but Karlie points out Erica O'Barr nearby and finds her an excellent babysitter. Erica accepts the job, but Chris doesn’t think too well of it.
* As Maya runs around, excited for Erica to arrive, Tommy confronts Chris about having any problems. Chris covers up his own fears by claiming Maya's the one who’s afraid of a new babysitter. Erica arrives, which means the parents must go. Chris tries to stall their departure as much as he can.
* First, Erica wants to play a game, but Chris points out that when their grandma is there, they always eat porridge-raisin cookies. Erica doesn’t know how to make those, but has granola bars instead. Covering his problems again, Chris claims that Maya won’t like the bars, but to his surprise, she loves them! Chris tries one and enjoys it as well
* Erica asks the children what they want to do now and Chris claims that Caroline would sing some golden-oldie Spungier songs, but Erica doesn’t know any. However, she believes they can make up a new one and she cracks up a beat. She makes up a new song called “Do the You”, which Chris loves. Now, Erica wants to play a game (which is exactly what Caroline would do now), but she doesn’t know any Spungier games. Chris finally sees the light and realizes “Maya” doesn’t have to do everything the same way they did it before. They begin playing all sorts of games, such as tag and “Ring Around the Rosie”.
* Zoe and Tommy arrive back, but the kids don’t want her to leave, but they rejoice at the idea of her coming back again.

* Healthy Food Song: Artichoke
* Insert - Steven Gordon invites Horse, Butterfly, Hoots and Kermit to the Great Escape Water Lodge for tomato soup. However, they each sing about a different way of getting there that the others can't use. Steven solves their problem by showing them they don’t have to go the same way. They all sing as they go to the Great Escape Water Lodge, attracting a larger crowd for lunch.

* Inserts - It’s now Jacob's bedtime, but he doesn’t want to sleep. Karlie realizes she’s forgotten to show him the Letter of the Day, which he can’t sleep unless seeing. (“I know it’s a little weird, but you go with what works.”) She picks up a block with an N on it and he falls fast asleep.
