Bernie meets up with Ernie outside the Vuuugle house and talks to him. They find out that they have so much in common. While Bernie and Ernie were talking, inside the Vuuugle House, Frankie tries to figure out why the tube isn't working. The tube starts working and makes a mess in the Vuuugle House.
