Mister Rogers finger paints on a piece of dark shelf paper and shares an animation about animals playing hide and seek. The phone rings but by the time Mister Rogers has washed the paint from his fingers, the caller has hung up.

In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Francois Clemmons and Lady Aberlin step away from the castle garden to tell everyone of the royal family's return from Westwood. King Friday and Queen Sara are surprised to find no one waiting to welcome them home. Upset that they have missed the royal family's return, Lady Aberlin hurries back to the castle where she, Mr. Clemmons, and Daniel Striped Tiger welcome them home. Mr. Clemmons sings We Welcome You Today and Lady Aberlin kisses her royal relatives and friends.

Back at the house, Mister Rogers talks about different ways, besides kissing, to show people you've missed them.

At the Audrey Cleans Everything office, John Fahey and Linda Berkley are heading out for a job and Audrey shows Mister Rogers an antique sand toy. In the kitchen, they look at a modern version of a similar toy.

Returning to the house, Mister Rogers concludes for the day with some exercise when Marilyn Barnett stops by.

Notes

Before welcoming the royal family back with a kiss, Lady Aberlin recites a short poem: "When you miss somebody you can kiss somebody as soon as he/she comes back."
