Mister Rogers takes a field trip to a pretzel factory to see how people make pretzels. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Prince Tuesday overhears his parents arguing, and he is afraid the argument is his fault. Mischievous Lady Elaine leads Prince Tuesday to think that maybe the King and Queen are thinking about getting a divorce, so a very worried Prince Tuesday runs away to the home of his friend Daniel Tiger.

One of the most talked about episodes of the Neighborhood series is this one when Jeff Erlanger, a young boy who uses an electric wheelchair, visits Mister Rogers. Together they talk openly and honestly about his disability and sing ” It’s You I Like.” In Make-Believe, the neighbors are searching for Prince Tuesday who has run away because he heard his parents arguing. The unhappy Prince is finally found and is reassured that his parents love him. It’s not easy to talk about some things, like divorce and disabilities, but the reality of such things is often less scary to children than the fantasies they may have about them.

Mister Rogers visits with Dr. Earl Grollman, author of books for parents and children about divorce, who helps children understand that some things – like musical instruments – can be fixed, but other things – like relationships — can’t always be fixed. What’s most important is to be able to talk about our feelings. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Prince Tuesday talks to his parents about his fears that their arguing was going to lead to their divorce. Mister Rogers reassures his viewers that when parents argue, it does not necessarily mean they are going to get a divorce.

Mister Rogers goes on an airplane and visits with the pilot and flight attendant who show him around the plane to help children feel more familiar when traveling by air. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe there’s someone dressed as a clown who learns to feel good about being himself, even if he is sad sometimes. And King Friday has a new electric plane-car delivered.
