In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, King Friday is outside the castle with Mimus Polyglottos as Lady Aberlin watches through binoculars.

Purple Panda suggests that they may have pinged to an AOP — Altogether Other Planet. Back at the house, Mister Rogers continues his discussion about curiosity before Mr. McFeely stops by with a pinwheel.
Mister Rogers talks about false faces by using masks of King Friday XIII and Daniel Tiger and then sings It’s You I Like.

Upon his arrival, Mister Rogers does not put on his sneakers. He has what appears to be a pillow but is actually a soft carrier holding a soft book.

After reading the book, Mister Rogers talks about being a young boy and wondering what his parents were doing after he went to bed. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, it is nighttime and Hula Mouse has left in search of Little Panda and Prince Tuesday while everyone else seems to be having trouble sleeping.
