Fred Rogers stays at Arthur's house while visiting Elwood City. Arthur is scared of telling anyone that because his friends believe that his TV show is for "babies". His avoiding actions cause Prunella, Rubella, and Brain to jump to the false conclusion that zombies are the reason for his behavior. They try to find out what is happening, and get the police called on them by Mrs. Tibble, who mistakes them for burglars. The next day, Mr. Rogers visits Arthur's school and Arthur works up the courage to explain to his friends why he has been acting strange. When Francine teases Fern for liking Mr. Ratburn's puppet shows, she draws a comic humiliating Francine, which everyone finds amusing. This escalates to everyone in school drawing insulting pictures of Francine, unaware of how much they're hurting her. They go to apologize after they overhear Francine talking to Mrs. MacGrady about how she wants them to stop.
