Episode Plot

Pee-wee tries to explain the law of gravity. Miss Yvonne comes over and gives Pee-wee book ends. They then play library, where Pee-wee goes on a power trip and silences everyone and everything around him, even Conky moving around and Globey eating potato chips. Even the Secret Word screaming cannot escape Pee-wee's iron-handed tyranny, as he screams for silence when the Secret Word is said by Miss Yvonne. Later, Ricardo comes over from ballet class and does The Nutcracker, with him hurtling Pee-wee off-camera with a ballet move, injuring him. Miss Yvonne also does the hula. Everyone tells their favorite stories. Ricardo makes Miss Yvonne a diary and Miss Yvonne makes Ricardo a log book.

Trivia

  • Miss Yvonne and Ricardo visit in this episode.
  • First appearance of Chandelier.
  • First episode that The King of Cartoons doesn't appear in.
  • This is the second time that Pee-wee demands for everyone in the playhouse to keep quiet. The first time is in Pee Wee Catches a Cold, where he gets very sick and yells for everyone to stop screaming and to show consideration so he can get better from his illness. Here, his demands for silence are because they're playing library, and because the screaming was irritating him at the time. Both his demands surprisingly do not include the viewers at home.
  • When Miss Yvonne wishes for a hula costume, Jambi says "Swish, did somebody say swish?", a parody of his catchphrase.
  • El Hombre was shown in this episode.
