The Furchester is expecting a special guest - Mr. Screech, an owl. Elmo and Phoebe are allowed to stay up late to meet him, but show signs of getting tired. Furgus shows them how he's staying awake - by balancing cushions on his head (thus, he can't be tired). Elmo and Phoebe try after Furgus spills his. They stay awake, but Furgus goes off to sleep.
