SCENE 1: Big Bird welcomes the viewers. Forgetful Jones has a problem on his hands - he cannot remember what letter to give his partner for her birthday. As Big Bird helps him identify the letter, he becomes frustrated and responds "Oh, boy…" and now Forgetful Jones remembers what letter to give his parther: the letter O. Jones thanks Big Bird for reminding him, but Big Bird said to himself "What did I say?"

SCENE 4: Big Bird discovers several letter Xs on strike, holding picket signs, and will not return to the alphabet until they get appreciated again.

SCENE 5: Bob tries to convince the Xs to settle their strike, explaining to him that he is unable to spell any words on his own. He also explains that Xs are also important, especially since it is used in Tic-Tac-Toe. Maria also informs the Xs that they are used in more words they realize, such as SIX, OX, TEXTURE, EXCITING and many others. The Xs then realize their wrongdoing and decide to settle the strike, and return to their job, but not without feeling EXHAUSTED. David announces the sponsors: O. X and 4. The Friday credit roll follows.
