This week on ABC’s The Muppets, episode ‘Walk the Swine,’ Miss Piggy’s grudge against Reese Witherspoon causes Piggy to destroy a charity event.
When Kermit arrives at the studio, he finds that Piggy has parked a café truck where Reese Witherspoon is supposed to park. The other Muppets tell Kermit that Piggy holds a grudge because Reese got the part in Walk the Line and went on to win an Oscar. Traffic is backed up and Rizzo hits Scooter’s car, making his airbags go off and putting a good sized dent in the door.
Kermit apologizes to Reese about the parking spot. She says she left her car with the valet. Kermit says they don’t have one. He tells Reese that Piggy still holds a grudge. She tells Kermit that Piggy left her a lovely basket of muffins. Kermit asks a stage hand to remove them.
In Piggy’s interview of Reese, Reese mentions that she’s working for Habitat for Humanity the next day. Piggy says she’ll be there too.
Rizzo finds Scooter upset about the accident. He gives Scooter a card for his cousin who has a body shop and talks him into not going to his insurance.
Kermit tries to talk Piggy out of going to the Habitat for Humanity site because she’s going for the wrong reason. She just wants to show Reese up. Piggy says she’s like Mother Teresa. She expects the press to be at the site and is upset when no one’s there to take her picture. Reese tells her it’s not a photo op.
Piggy anonymously calls the news and tells them that she and Reese are at the charity site. Reese tells Piggy that she should go home if she’s too soft and spoiled to do manual labor. Piggy says she’ll outwork her. Reese says she’s going down.
Fozzie is doing standup comedy at a club and makes fun of his girlfriend, Becky. She’s upset. Pepe tells Fozzie that he doesn’t understand women.
Reese and Piggy compete on the worksite. They get into an argument and knock down a wall of the house they were building. Piggy then knocks Reese to the ground.
Scooter comes to Rizzo and tells him that he got a $500 ticket for driving the loaner car Rizzo’s cousin gave him because it had bad plates and lots of secret compartments. Rizzo asks if they were empty and finding that they were, he tells Scooter not to worry. He gives Scooter a business card for his uncle who is an attorney slash fireworks technician.
Becky comes to the studio and tells all of his friends embarrassing things she’s learned during their relationship, including that he cries at hearing a certain song. They all sing ‘True Colors’ by Cyndi Lauper and Fozzie breaks down in tears. In Fozzie’s next interview, he says he and Becky have mutually decided to keep their personal lives personal.
Scooter approaches Rizzo about his uncle. He says he wired him $1,000, but when he went to the address he gave him, it was a hair salon. Rizzo tries to give him another card, but Scooter says he’s going to a regular car shop. Rizzo then tries to convince him to go 50/50 on a time share.
Kermit reprimands Piggy about the bad press surrounding the fight with Reese Witherspoon. She cries and tells him she wants to do a public apology by having Reese on the show again. Kermit tries to talk her into just telling the press that it was sun poisoning, but she insists.
Fozzie is doing standup again, but is bombing. Pepe tells Becky it must make her feel good that Fozzie is making a room full of people miserable by not making fun of her. She feels bad. She yells to the stage for him to tell everyone about his girlfriend.
Reese is a guest on Piggy’s show again. She tells Piggy she’s sorry and Piggy accepts. Then Piggy says she has a couple of words to say to Reese. She does a song and dance number to one-up Reese’s apology.
Becky tells the camera that you have to laugh at yourself, especially if your boyfriend is a comic. Fozzie then takes it too far by making jokes about her feet. She says she’s done and leaves.
