What do you get when Sesame Street and Abbott Elementary join forces? A supremely wholesome crossover, that's what.

Abbott Elementary star and creator Quinta Brunson teaches Muppets Elmo, Abby Cadabby, and Cookie Monster all about kindness in a school-focused episode. While Elmo and Abby seem to understand the concept, Cookie Monster's having a tougher time. He knows it's kind to clean up, but unfortunately, his version of cleaning up means eating all of Brunson's school supplies. (In a nod to the pilot of Abbott Elementary, Brunson mentions he's even eaten her important story time rug.)

Sesame Street pays further tribute to Abbott Elementary by framing the clip as a mockumentary, allowing Brunson to channel some Janine Teagues. But will she be able to get through to Cookie Monster in time, and save her classroom from being devoured?
