In a vibrant episode of Sesame Street, Elmo's day takes an unexpected turn when he and Alan find themselves in the middle of a Grouch game show, "What Happens Next?," hosted by Oscar the Grouch. The game, infused with elements of science, music, and a love for worms, captures Elmo's curiosity, inviting him to predict the outcomes of various scenarios involving Slimey, the adventurous worm.

The game kicks off with a simple yet intriguing question about Slimey's pool dive, leading Elmo to correctly guess that a small worm like Slimey would make only a little splash. The excitement escalates when Slimey, positioned on a higher diving board, surprises everyone by creating a big splash, drenching Alan with mud, much to Oscar's delight.

Meanwhile, at the Mail It Shop, Maria and Luis engage in a charming interaction with a penguin aiming to mail earmuffs to Antarctica. The game show's unexpected arrival at the shop draws Elmo back into the fold, eager to test his predictive skills once more. This time, the scenario involves Slimey on a skateboard and a little fan, with Elmo correctly inferring that the fan's breeze would propel Slimey forward. However, the introduction of a big fan leads to comedic chaos, blowing away everything in sight, leaving Elmo amused by the unpredictable force of air.

As the game show continues, Gordon finds himself reluctantly participating alongside Elmo. They are tasked with predicting how Slimey, faced with an obstacle, will reach his apple lunch. The scenarios grow increasingly complex, culminating in a humorous moment where an elephant, eager for peanuts, demolishes a wall, demonstrating the different ways creatures overcome obstacles.

The episode seamlessly transitions into a rich tapestry of segments that further enrich its educational and entertainment value. India.Arie and Elmo's rendition of The Alphabet Song, along with a rap about the letter R by Cookie Monster, celebrate the joys of learning through music. Jane Tuesday's encouragement to "Eat Your Colors Today" with a red raspberry, Rosita's "Conga Counting Song," and a healthy food song about broccoli, all contribute to a narrative that emphasizes nutrition, language, and counting skills.

Rest and play find a harmonious balance as Big Bird and Elmo explore the importance of taking breaks, set against a backdrop of children engaging in various activities. Joe Raposo's "Everybody Sleeps" and Grover's quiet moment with Sara underline the need for quiet and rest, while Ernie and Bert's playful pattern game introduces logic and sequence.

Global Grover's worldwide bathing discoveries, coupled with his comedic attempt to clean up with the help of an elephant named Stevie, add a layer of global awareness and humor.

As the episode culminates with Elmo's World: Jumping and The Adventures of Trash Gordon, viewers are left with a sense of adventure, problem-solving, and the endless possibilities that come from asking, "What Happens Next?" This Sesame Street episode, brimming with curiosity, laughter, and learning, invites young viewers to explore the world around them with wonder and enthusiasm.
