Sesame Street Episode 4235
Zoe Loves Rocco
Season 41
LaDainian Tomlinson and Madisyn Shipman visit Sesame Street.
The episode begins with Zoe having fun with her pet rock, Rocco. Alan and Chris join her in singing Rocco's favorite song, "Rocco and Roll." After the song, Zoe needs to fetch Rocco's hat and asks Elmo to watch Rocco while she is gone. Elmo agrees but gets distracted by playing with Baby David. During Elmo's distraction, Rocco goes missing, and when Zoe returns, she is upset to find her beloved pet rock gone.
Elmo doesn't understand why Zoe is so upset and tries to cheer her up by offering another rock as a replacement. Zoe, feeling insulted, leaves in a huff to search for Rocco. Elmo talks to Chris about the situation and learns that Zoe loves Rocco just as much as Elmo loves Baby David, making Rocco more than "just a rock" to Zoe. Realizing his mistake, Elmo sets out to find Rocco and make amends with Zoe.
Using his memory to piece together clues, Elmo recalls that a Frisbee may have knocked Rocco off the table, and Madisyn may have kicked Rocco away. Elmo and Chris find Madisyn, who tells them she left Rocco in the garden. When they arrive at the garden, they discover a large pile of rocks and must identify Rocco among them. Elmo uses his memory to describe Rocco's appearance, and they eventually find the correct rock.
Elmo returns Rocco to Zoe and apologizes for not understanding the importance of Rocco to her. With their friendship restored, Chris suggests celebrating by singing Rocco's favorite song again. Initially, Elmo laughs at the idea of a rock having a favorite song but remembers the lesson he learned and happily joins in the singing. Alan also joins them in their reprise of "Rocco and Roll."
