Kermit (aka Phil), Bill, Gil, and Jill came into the coffee shop while nobody was looking up, and after Kermit (or Phil) played a small melody on the glasses of water that sounded like one of their songs, a number of them looked over into their booth, but only saw two of the other three frogs and sat back down.

Then Gonzo looked around the seat back and actually saw Kermit, then Miss Piggy took a look and practically football tackled him hugging him. Then, realizing something was wrong with Kermit, they all took him to the theater to try to snap him out of it.
