Plot[]
Opening Countertop[]
Larry is looking through different hats and then greets the viewers. He tries to see which one looks best on him. Petunia then comes in humming a tune while Larry is trying on another hat. Larry thinks he looks terrible. Petunia asks Larry what is he doing and Larry tells her that he is trying to find his look, by wearing different hats of course, but he couldn't find his look. Annie then comes in saying that she loves hats and compilements Larry's hat. But Larry doesn't think so and puts on his LarryBoy mask. QWERTY greets the ladies and Annie says hi to him while Petunia compilments his new voice chip. QWERTY tells her that it's part of his new operating system and asks her if she likes it. She answers yes. Annie then asks QWERTY if he has a message for them. And he indeed does have a message and it comes from a kid named Lauren Thomas from Garden Groove California. Lauren then tells the ladies and Larry that she has glasses and braces and that she doesn't feel good about herself. Petunia then tells her that she has some stories that she thinks that will help both Lauren and Larry.
The Sleeping Rhubarb[]
Focus is on the fairy that didn’t get her invitation and stubbornly refuses to listen to the reason why. Hurt and angry, Brambleberry Fairy (Angel Cake) impulsively gives her terrible gift, then feels lonely and regretful after Princess Strawberry Rose gets pricked by a brambleberry thorn, falls asleep and her five fairy friends (Appleberry, Rainbowberry, Gingerberry, Tangerinaberry and Orangeberry) put the whole kingdom into a dream sleep until they can find a way to awaken the Princess. Lonely Brambleberry Fairy secretly watches the other fairies meet daily to try to reverse her gift, but not until Prince Huckleberry gives her a lesson in listening, does she finally decide to reverse her terrible gift. In doing so, she not only reawakens Princess Strawberry Rose and the whole kingdom, but learns to be a good friend.
Relationship-puter[]
"Elmo's Jive Five" (or "Yo Five!") is sung by Elmo about the number 5 in similar manner to MC Hammer.
The Unmerciful Gourd[]
Roley and Muck play skidsies in the mud, but an accident leads to the old machine shelter being knocked down. Roley blames Muck for making him do a skidsie and destroying the shelter. Bob and the team are to build a new machine shelter with a ramp. Muck wishes he can go up the ramp. Roley advises Muck to use his door as a ramp which Muck does and the door got damaged. Muck tells Bob and Wendy what he has done. Roley also tells them it was his idea, not Muck's. But Muck insists that it was his fault he made the door got damaged. The shelter was now complete and has a new door which took a quick lick of red paint for Muck. Roley and Muck become friends again.
Closing Countertop[]
Back on the Countertop, Annie and Petunia recap what the stories were about and the lesson from the story, After the what we have learned song, QWERTY shows a verse which says,
"For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart. -1 Samuel 16:7b."
Larry now understands that he doesn't have to worry about what he looks on the outside and its on the inside that matters. Lauren agrees as well. Then all four sign off and say goodbye, ending the episode.
