Chrissy will be stopping by for a visit so Mister Rogers goes to the porch to wait for her to arrive. Sitting on the porch, Mister Rogers recalls a time when he was a boy and went outside and forgot to tell his mother. As he continues waiting for Chrissy, Jermaine Vaughan comes by carrying his radio and a large piece of cardboard he has been using to breakdance with his friends. Mister Rogers invites him to stay for a few minutes and demonstrate his dancing. As Jermaine departs, Chrissy arrives and sits on the porch with Mister Rogers and talks about her accomplishments and her disabilities. For a graduation gift, Mister Rogers gives Chrissy a butterfly pendant which he says symbolizes freedom -- something important to them both.
