Summary Bert is admiring his bottle cap collection when he offers to show the viewer his rarest piece: a Watermelon Whip. Upon closer inspection, he finds that the rare item is lost. As he panics, David, Maria, Luis, and the kids rush over from their game of scully - which requires bottlecaps to play - to see what's going on. They offer to help him find the missing collectible, but while some of theirs are similar, none of them is red with a white circle and the letter W. Bert believes all hope to be lost and begins chastizing David for making light of his plight when Big Bird stops by. He'd like to join the scully game and says he'll have a bottlecap to contribute as soon as he opens the soda pop he just purchased at Hooper's Store. Bert's attention is sprung when he hears it's a Watermelon Whip, but his excitement diminishes when he learns that Mr. Hooper got six cases of it in - that's 144 bottles, Big Bird calculates - and dismisses the once-rare flavor as worthless now. To replace the open spot on his cork board, he's now got to go find a Blueberry Bubbler - and he doesn't even like that one. Jasper and Julius: Apple. Grover climbs a tree and finds a bird's nest with some eggs in it. The eggs hatch, and the baby birds think Grover is their mommy. When the real mother bird arrives, she mistakes Grover for one of her babies. She gives them all a flying lesson, but Grover promptly falls to the ground.
