Ever since the Muppets had separated, Kermit felt so alone. He and Miss Piggy had broken up and he felt so upset. He lived in a mansion, depressed in Hollywood and he thought that he wouldn't be able to see the gang again.

Kermit didn't live alone in his house, his Nephew Robin lived with him. Robin tried his best to get his Uncle back to his senses but nothing worked. Kermit missed everything. He missed the bad jokes Fozzie would tell him, he missed Gonzo doing unsuccessful stunts, he missed doing duets with Miss Piggy. He just missed it all. That was his dream and he had thought that it was the end of his dream.

Robin would work around Kermit and see if he will notice so he can come back to that same old Kermit the Frog. Nothing. Robin also has been very emotional. He wants his old Uncle back and his family. But Kermit isn't being himself. He constantly sits in front of Kermit's bedroom door feeling upset. Sometimes, he will hear him cry or sigh or yell. Even though Robin lives with him, he hasn't seen him in a while.

Robin walks around the Mansion and stops to look at a bookshelf. There were photos of the Muppets that Kermit has always kept. He saw pictures of him performing Rainbow Connection. He found pictures of guest stars from the Muppet Show. He saw one with him and Fozzie and Gonzo and Miss Piggy and even one with him and Robin.

He missed the old Kermit. There has to be a way to make him come out of his room. Robin had an idea, and he doesn't know if that will work but it doesn't hurt to try. Robin grabs all the photos from the bookshelf and takes them off the frames. He grabbed the photos and walked upstairs to Kermit's room.

He grabbed a photo one by one and slid it under his door. He saw a shadow moving and he saw the pictures being picked up by a green hand. Robin smiled and he put a "ear" on the door and tried to hear Kermit's reactions.

Inside Kermit's room, he looked at the Photos. He remembers those days. Those happy days. He saw a picture of Miss Piggy and Him getting married in Muppets take Manhattan. He finds a picture of him and Fozzie performing in the El Sleezo cafe. He found a picture of him and Robin playing Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim in the Muppet Christmas Carol. He remembers all of it.

Kermit realizes that he must snap out of it, but how? He needs to take it one step at a time. First things first, he needs to get out of his room. He opens his door and Robin was surprised at what he had saw. Kermit the Frog. Not the old but he's trying at least. "You feeling better?" Robin asked. "I'm trying." Kermit said.
