Today's Special - Episode Guide

"Oh, we've worked all night, and still there's more boxes to fill on every floor! I'm very tired, and furthermore, I don't wanna leave the store!"

"Yeah, well, none of us do, Muffy. It's just that pretty soon they're going to tear down this building and put up a brand new building!"

"Isn't there anything we can do?"

"No, nothing. At nine o'clock this morning, the store will be sold, so we've got to be packed and out of here by the end of the day."

Jodie explained that in order to save the store, the building would have to have an historic plaque.

"A plaque. A long time ago, when they built stores and houses, they put the date on a plaque like this one. See? 1899. That's the year it was built. Most old buildings have them."

"Well, does our store have one?"

"Oh, don't we wish. You see, many old buildings that are old enough to have a plaque like this can't be torn down. That's the law."

Well, we knew what the plaque looked like, but even I didn't know where it was hidden.

"I'm afraid that I have no records of the plaque's location."

"Well, I guess our last hope for saving the store is gone."

That's what we all felt, until...

(Muffy shoves her piano out the door, knocking the plaster off the plaque in the process)

If only we can get Muffy to notice what is behind her wall! And now for part two.

Unaware that the plaque has been exposed, Jeff, Jodie, Muffy and Sam get ready to go. They start thinking about old times again, and laughingly remember when they put on the opera of "The Three Bears." Muffy reminds them that there was an even better day, the day when Jeff first came to the store. We hear the story of how Waldo the Magnificent was practicing his magic on an old hat when it got away from him and landed on Jeff's head. When Jeff was delivered to the store, he was moving because of the hat, and Waldo only wants to get it back. When Jodie realized that Jeff really could think and feel, Waldo decided to complete the spell and bring him to life. He leaves Jeff in Jodie, Muffy and Sam's care, since he's going away on tour. Joyously, Jeff dances through the store, exploring his new home, singing the magic words that have brought him life. After they remember this time, they get ready to go, but Muffy goes back to check her room again. Seeing the plaque, she takes a picture, and Jodie, by train and by foot, races to see the building's owner before the store is sold. Frustrated by a protective secretary, Jodie hides the picture of the plaque under a coffee cup the secretary is bringing into his room. When she returns she delivers the great news. They did it! The store is saved! "We'll be together, forever and more," they sing, "we'll be together in our favorite store!"
