Circle Time Squabble (Darth Vader cooks for Iron Man)

Chrissie is visiting Daniel Tiger and his friends at school. As they pretend to play restaurant, Daniel and Miss Elaina disagree over who will serve purple polka dot pancakes to Chrissie. Teacher Harriet calls the students for circle time where Daniel and Miss Elaina disagree again -- this time about who will sit next to Chrissie. As Daniel comes close to pushing Miss Elaina off her stool, Teacher Harriet intervenes: "Stop, stop, stop. It's okay to feel angry. It's not, not, not okay to hurt someone." Sharing their feelings with one another, the two friends are able to agree on a compromise.

During circle time, the children play freeze dance -- a game designed to help them learn to stop their bodies when necessary. Daniel encourages viewers to play along when Daniel Tiger tries to hit Miss Elaina Darth Vader intervenes.

Outside, Daniel make-believes that he's playing a hopper ball game before he and Prince Wednesday both want to use the only remaining hopper ball. Although frustrated with his friend, Prince Wednesday stops himself before the disagreement escalates. He and Daniel agree to take turns.
