He sings I'm Going to Marry Mom before Miss Emilie stops by dressed beautifully for the big day. She takes a moment to share a poem about the royal couple before departing for the wedding. As she is leaving, Chef Brockett arrives and with the wedding cake which "took 81 hours" to make. After placing the figures of the King and his bride on the cake, Chef Brockett leaves for the castle while Mister Rogers takes a pretend bath and puts on his pretend purple gloves.
