Mister Rogers arrives with a new song he has written called You Are You -- as special song for the opening of Chef Brockett's new soda fountain. Sitting at the piano, he shares a portion of the song before Francois Clemmons stops by and sings You Are You in its entirety.

In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Handyman Negri is at the castle teaching You Are You to Eric Kloss. When King Friday XIII introduces them to Seagull, Mr. Kloss explains that he is blind and that people "see" in different ways. Handyman Negri and Mr. Kloss play a song for Gull while they see footage of real seagulls. Lady Aberlin arrives to return Gull to X the Owl. She asks Mr. Kloss to play some train sounds with his saxophone.

Back at the house, Mister Rogers visits Brockett's Bakery where a celebration is underway at the new soda fountain. A band of musicians gathers to entertain the patrons. As a special surprise for Chef Brockett, Francois Clemmons joins the band to perform You Are You.

Returning to his house, Mister Rogers concludes with a quiet moment on the front porch.


Notes

For his first order at the new soda fountain, Mister Rogers' asks for a rootbeer soda -- rootbeer with ice cream.

Before Francois Clemmons joins them, the band at the soda fountain plays It's You I Like.
