In Episode 3967 of Sesame Street, the street scenes revolve around Gordon duckie-sitting Rubber Duckie for Ernie while he attends the Pigeon Lover's Convention with Bert.

The episode begins with Gordon planning to spend a quiet day reading the newspaper. Ernie approaches him, asking if he can duckie-sit Rubber Duckie. Gordon accepts, thinking it'll be easy. However, he soon learns that he needs to squeak Rubber Duckie in a particular, loud way. After many attempts, he finally gets the right squeak, but discovers there are many more ways to squeak him.

In the second scene, Ernie shows Gordon how Rubber Duckie likes to be held - on top of his head. Prairie Dawn briefly observes him but leaves when Ernie proposes she help duckie-sit. Gordon thinks he has everything he needs until Ernie rushes back to the apartment to get his list of Rubber Duckie care requirements.

In the third scene, Ernie returns with a newly written list. According to the list, the next step in duckie-sitting is saying the alphabet while holding Rubber Duckie on his head and squeaking him. Zoe and Brittany approach them and ask to sing too, having never sung the alphabet with someone with a duckie on their head.

In the fourth scene, Gordon must count with Rubber Duckie while holding him on his nose. He initially refuses, but Ernie and Zoe guilt him into it. Gordon counts to 10, but Rubber Duckie likes counting to 40.

In the fifth scene, Gordon thinks he knows everything he needs to about taking care of Rubber Duckie, but there's one thing left - putting Rubber Duckie down for his nap. This involves placing him to your ear, hopping on one foot, and quacking. Gordon refuses, claiming Rubber Duckie is just a bath toy. Ernie takes offense until Gordon apologizes and asks if there's an alternate way; Ernie tells him the other way to get him to sleep is by putting him on your head.

In the final scene, Rubber Duckie is still napping when Bert arrives, telling Ernie he's missed the entire convention. Since they already have a duckie sitter, they decide to go see a movie. Ernie returns to tell Gordon one last thing about taking care of Rubber Duckie - how to say goodbye. Gordon knows and reads the sponsors with Rubber Duckie on his head. Ernie loves it but questions why Gordon thought he had to hold him on his head.
