Moe finds $20 and is tempted to keep it. Meanwhile, Fern seems to have lost some money. Moe's star guest, Hollie Smith, teaches Moe about soul music and with a special song, reminds us that we all instinctively know what's right.

Moe is trying to sing Teddy to sleep, but the lullaby he's is playing on his ukulele is just too loud and rough! Violinist Jess Hindin teaches Moe to play softly and gently and Moe gets Fern to sing a lovely lullaby.

Gilbert is hassling Moe for being a monster who isn't scary, Fern for being a fairy who isn't dainty, and Frank for being a fantail who looks like an owl. Randa visits and, with a great hip-hop song, reminds everyone they should be proud to be exactly who they are.

Moe wants to dance but Fern and Gilbert are feeling sleepy. Sambora (from Shapeshifter and The Peacekeepers) explains the good vibes and energy that come from making and performing dance music. Sambora's remix inspires Fern and Gilbert and gets them moving!
