Mister Rogers arrives with a pasta maker which he has borrowed from John Costa, Jr. Quickly after arriving at the television house, Mister Rogers departs for a visit to Mr. Costa's home where they make homemade pasta along with Mr. Costa's father, John Costa, Sr.

Back at the house, John Costa, Sr. talks about how proud he is of his son. Sitting at the piano, Mr. Costa accompanies Mister Rogers while he sings I'm Proud of You.

In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, the all-out effort for Northwood is coming to a close as Daniel Tiger finds out the truth about his vegetable soup tree. Closing out the all-out effort, King Friday and Queen Sara reveal the longest spaghetti in the world.

Wrapping up for the week, Mister Rogers talks about different kinds of food: "Music...is food for the hearing. And paintings and beautiful scenery are food for seeing. And books are food for the soul. Loving other people is food for the spirit."

Mister Rogers then sings Many Ways to Say I Love You.
