On Tuesday’s The Muppets, Scooter gets in over his head with Chelsea Handler and Kermit sticks his nose in Fozzie’s love life. Will the relationships hold?
Scooter books Chelsea on Piggy’s talk show and is smitten. Chelsea tells Piggy she’s looking for a dork with a steady job. Scooter asks Chelsea out and she agrees.
Fozzie tells Kermit he’s going to ask Becky to move in with him. Kermit says Fozzie barely knows her, but Fozzie is insistent. Kermit suggests a double date with him and Denise at Rowlf’s for trivia night. Fozzie says Becky is great at it.
At Rowlf’s, Kermit asks leading questions trying to learn something terrible about Becky. Instead he learns a couple of negative things about Denise. On the next trivia question, Becky makes an excuse to duck under the table where Kermit catches her using her phone.
Kermit pulls Denise aside and tells her he thinks Becky is cheating. Denise tells him to butt out of Fozzie’s business.
Scooter regurgitates Wikipedia facts about Chelsea to her during their date. She thinks he’s cute and kisses him. He leaves in a hurry.
Scooter tells Pepe and Rizzo he’s not going to see Chelsea again because she moved too fast. He’s been ignoring her texts, but she keeps hounding him.
Fozzie tells Kermit that he’s going to give his house key to Becky at lunch. Kermit decides if he can’t tell Fozzie directly about Becky cheating, he’ll help him figure it out instead.
When Becky arrives, Kermit starts asking her a series of trivia questions disguised as conversation, but other Muppets keep answering instead. Fozzie tells Kermit if he wants to know the answers, he should look them up on his phone. Kermit says that’s what Becky did at trivia. Becky says she wasn’t cheating – she was checking an E-bay auction for a present for Fozzie. Kermit apologizes, but Fozzie is angry.
Scooter meets Chelsea at a bar. She tells him the only reason she’s moving too fast is because she doesn’t want to lose him. She suggests they just talk on the phone while she’s on the road. He agrees.
The Electric Mayhem discusses rumors about Fozzie and Kermit, saying that Fozzie made Kermit disappear and the network replaced Kermit with a robot.
Kermit apologizes to Fozzie. Fozzie asks him what he has against Becky. Kermit says Fozzie isn’t ready to move in with anyone. Kermit says he’s just looking out for him. Fozzie says he just wants to be respected. Kermit tells him he’s right and asks when Becky is moving in. Fozzie says he never asked her because it’s too big a step.
The band comes up with a plan to see if Kermit is a robot. They leave a plate of cookies on the break room table labeled, “free cookies for robots.” Kermit doesn’t take one, but Animal does. The band runs away from him.
