Mister Rogers arrives with an issue of the Neighborhood Gazette which features an article about Mr. McFeely's recent ride on a sea plane. Mr. McFeely arrives with a film about his experience.

In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, X the Owl has printed announcements of Reardon's recent appointment to the position of Royal Chamberalin -- although no one is quite sure what he will do in such a position. Reardon tells King Friday XIII that he is homesick and wants to leave Make-Believe. He offers that he will certainly return at some point because he likes visiting the Neighborhood.

Back at the house, Mister Rogers visits the McFeelys' house where Mr. and Mrs. McFeely are building model gliders made of balsa wood. They give Mister Rogers a glider to take with him.

Returning to the house, Mister Rogers sings Once Upon Each Lovely Day.
