Mister Rogers says that on the way in, he crossed paths with a man who makes things out of balloons who asked him for directions to the McFeelys' house. Inside, Mister Rogers takes out two balloons of his own and compares them in size and shape. He then shares a film about how balloons are made.

It is night time near the Neighborhood of Make-Believe and Oliver Circus Clown is looking for Purple Panda. He asks Trolley to find Purple Panda and tell him that his friend is on his way. Meanwhile, in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Purple Panda has been up all night himself in hopes of finding his circus friends and is excited when Trolley passes through with one of Oliver's balloons. When morning comes, Oliver finds the Neighborhood of Make-Believe and Purple Panda.

Back at the house, Mister Rogers talks about the feelings that come with missing someone.

At the McFeelys', Mister Rogers joins Mrs. McFeely on the porch as Mr. Kamin shows how he makes balloon sculptures.

Returning to his house, Mister Rogers concludes by singing You Are Special.

Notes

Mr. Kamin took a wrong turn after getting directions from Mister Rogers. According to Mrs. McFeely, he "took a left down at Negri's instead of a right."
