In Episode 4714 of Sesame Street, the main storyline revolves around Cookie Monster learning about art and self-control. The episode begins with Cookie Monster eyeing a delicious-looking bowl of fruit. Alan stops him, explaining that the fruit is for his painting. Cookie Monster then tries to eat the painting, but Alan stops him again, telling him that paintings are for looking at, not eating.
To help Cookie Monster understand the concept of art, Alan provides him with a canvas, brush, and paint palette. Cookie Monster decides to paint a cookie, using his memory as a reference. Alan teaches him how to mix colors to create the perfect cookie-brown. Once the painting is completed, Cookie Monster sings a short song ("It's Good Enough to Eat") and eats the painting.
Alan gets Cookie Monster another canvas, and they try to think of a way for him to control himself. They suggest painting something other than a cookie, but everything he sees reminds him of cookies. Alan then suggests painting a self-portrait, as he looks nothing like a cookie. Cookie Monster likes the idea and starts painting, with Alan helping him create a technique to show off the texture of his fur.
After completing his self-portrait, Cookie Monster is reminded of cookies once again and eats the painting. Alan and Cookie Monster then decide to paint an abstract design that won't remind him of cookies. Cookie Monster finishes the design, which he says is an expression of his joy and love for cookies. However, he realizes that the painting makes him so happy that he'd be sad if he eats it. He decides the painting is "Too Good to Eat" and restrains himself. Chris announces a fresh batch of cookies is ready at Hooper's Store, and Cookie Monster enjoys a brief moment with his art before devouring all the cookies.
* Elmo and the gang introduce the letter of the day, P, with a song and dance.
* In the "Super Grover 2.0" segment, a Parisian pineapple struggles to paint her still life when all her fruit subjects fall off the pedestal. Super Grover arrives and designs a solution. He first uses a cow to hold the fruits, but they slide off her back. Next, he uses a flat surfboard, but the fruits still fall off. The orange decides to make a design of his own, drawing up a bowl. They use Grover's popcorn bowl, which works perfectly. Grover himself is even added to the piece, with his nose representing a plum.
