*Uncle D returns from his latest ushering, a genuine tear staining his spectral cheeks, as this is the one call from his boss he truly dreaded. He isn't sure how the news will be received by the rest of the town when they find out during the morning news.

[In Apartment 6 the residents are all huddled on the couch in a group hug; Lily is sitting in Kim's lap while the Fraggles and Beast are gathered around her.]

Kim: Betcha Christine was right there at the gates to greet him.
Gillis: Yes. And Richard and Jim were right behind her.
Boober: [takes a shaky breath and exhales] I think I'm going to head down to the Rock today, see how Gobo's doing.
Gillis: I'll come with you, lad.
Tosh: Yeah, me and Beastie too.
Beast: [nods]
Lily: Can we go visit Robin today?
Kim: I'll have to check to see if it's all right with Kathy, but sure.

Hopefully I'll hear my favorite Count song as now it'll hold even more significance to my memory of it.

* silently counts the messages from all the well-wishers.
*Uncle D's making a pot of iced tea to steady his nerves, and because we'll need something to toast to Jerry's name.
