Rose, Lea, and Count von Count, were on the road to Toadstool City. Lea sensed that Big Bird would end up there.
"That's one, two alien women," Count smiled.
"Are you sure leaving Donna with Finn and Poe was a good idea?" asked Rose.
"Don't worry," Lea replied. "Finn has a lot to learn about looking after kids."
As they got to a band booth, they saw that the stage was being set up. The mayor of Toadstool was worried because one of the acts quit pursuing a record deal. "We know this great band called CLST. They'll be perfect as the substitute band."
On her phone, Lea texted Cho that Big Bird would be at the Toadstool Parade ASAP.

Meanwhile, Big Bird stopped by a farm. "Thanks for the ride," he said.
"No prob," the driver replied. "Just keep going."
After the trucker left, Big Bird found a cute little home, wondering if they'd invite him for dinner. Two children came out to play when they saw Big Bird. The girl had brown pigtails, and her kid brother had a red baseball cap. "I'm Ruthie," the girl said "This is my younger brother Floyd."
"You must be the bird from TV," said Floyd.
Big Bird started to yawn. "You could use some sleep," Ruthie suggested. "Why don't you stay here for the night?"
As he was getting comfy, he thought about Sesame Street and how much he missed it.
One little star, all alone in the sky
Do you ever get lonely as the twilight drifts by?
One little star, in the darkening blue
Do you long for another just the way that I do?
Sky begins to fill; darkness ends the day
Someone who I love is far away
One little star, reaching far through the night
Do you shine on my someone? Are we sharing your light?
Oh, one little star, shine on us both tonight
And Snuffy was here, and we'd all be together
I wonder what they're all doing tonight...
One little star (one little star)
Reaching far through the night (reaching far through the night)
Would you shine on my someone (shine on my someone)
So we're sharing your light? (please, share your light)
Oh, one little star, shine on us all tonight

In the morning, Big Bird woke up to find both of the kids fetching water. While they were out for a stroll, Big Bird saw a familiar bird. "Miss Finch!" he shouted.
"Hide, Big Bird," Ruthie cautioned, "in the hayfield."
"We'll never forget you, Big Bird!" Floyd called.
As Miss Finch came up, she wondered where Big Bird was. Ruthie and Floyd told her that they hadn't seen him and she took off.

Meanwhile, Sid and Sam were holding a net while looking for Big Bird.
