After all that mayhem, Pops finally got Sam and Jenny over. When Rich pulled out Judge Coleman's (animatronic) head, which survived from the explosion, Pops was surprised.
"What is Bob Iger doing here?" Asked Sam.
"He wanted to destroy Puppetown to make room for a Star Wars Land." Said Rich.
"I even have proof!" Said Janice, holding out her cellphone. "I recorded the whole thing on my phone while me and Fozzie were tied up."
"So, it was actually Bob Iger who killed Chuck Beasley?" Asked Sam.
"As well as Kirk Thatcher and my brother." Said Rich.
"But how did the bear's fur get on the rope attached to the safe?" Asked Sam.
"I used fur from Fooozie, not Fozzie, before that buffoon laughed himself to death." Said Iger.
"Mr. Iger," Said Sam, bringing Iger to his car. "As punishment for killing Beaseley and Thatcher, you will be working as an animator at both Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios in California for the next five years, even if they're both working on projects at the same time." As Sam drove off, Pops handed Coleman's head to Jenny.
"That's what I call one seriously disturbed puppet." She said. Soon, dozens of Muppets and puppets ran over to look at Beaseley's head.
"Can you make out what it is, Charlie?" Asked Kermit.
"I'll tell you one thing, Flipper Face." Said Charlie McCarthy. "He wasn't a frog."
"Or a ducky." Said Ernie, squeaking his Rubber Ducky.
"Or a dog." Said Rowlf.
"Or a Fraggle." Said Gobo Fraggle.
"Or a bunny!" Said Bean Bunny.
"Or a lion." Said Lionel.
"Or a sheep." Said Lamb Chop. As all the puppet characters were debating on what Judge Coleman's head really belonged to, Jenny noticed a stain on Rich's vest.
"What is that, Richie?" She asked.
"It's ink." Said Rich. "Chuck Beasely squirted me with some the other night. Why it's coming out now, I don't know."
"Here's your answer, Richard." Said Fozzie, holding a bottle. "Beasley Brand Disappearing Reappearing Ink! Chuck Beasley was a genius, just like his father!"
"Malarkey!" Said Oscar, popping out of a trash can. "If Chuck Beasely was such a genius, why didn't he leave his will where he could find it? Without it, we'd be lying on the street. And I don't mean Sesame Street." This made Richard think: Disappearing ink? When Janice opened the envelope, it was blank. When Fozzie wrote the love letter, he must've written on the will!
"Fozzie?" Said Rich. "Remember that love letter you wrote to Janice at Cyclia? I think you should read it to her now." Rich then handed Fozzie the love letter.
"Sure, Richie." Said Fozzie, as he started reading the letter. "'What's a three-letter word to describe the perfect wife? Y-O-U!'" Suddenly, more words appeared. "'I, Chuck Beasley, of sound, mind, and body,' It's the will! 'Do hereby bestow the property known as Puppetown to those lovable characters, the Muppets!" Everyone cheered when they heard the announcement.
"Hey, Richie!" Said Fozzie. "That was a pretty funny dance you did for the Moopets. Do you think your days of being a grouch are over?"
"I hope not!" Said Oscar.
"Only time will tell." Replied Rich.
"Yeah, well, give me a shake!" Said Fozzie, extending his paw, but when Rich shook, he got shocked, making everyone gasp. Rich wasn't really happy with that. "Don't tell me you lost your sense of humor already."
"Does this answer your question?" Asked Rich, giving Fozzie a tight hug. "Bear hug." Everyone cheered when they heard that, with the penguins throwing themselves in the air with excitement.
"C'mon, Fozzie." Said Janice. "Let's go home. It's late."
"I think I'll hibernate until Thanksgiving." Said Fozzie. With that, the Muppets and puppets all started singing.
Fozzie: We've had comedy
Janice: We've had mystery
Rich: We've had a real good time and solved a crime real easily
Everyone: Hey, a movie!
Oscar: I just can't believe they did it!
Everyone: Starring everybody
Rich: And me.
Jenny: There was spectacle
Pops: There was fantasy
Rizzo: Where they took a chance and saw romance end happily
Rich: In a movie!
Piggy: I just love happy endings
Kermit: One for everybody
Charlie: Everybody
Scooter: Everybody
Bobo: Everybody
Fozzie: Everybody
Janice: Everybody
Everyone: Everybody in the world
Rich: And me.
Jenny: And me.
Fozzie: And me!
Janice: And me.
Pops: And me.
Rizzo: And me!
As everyone finished singing and started heading home, Statler and Waldorf started talking to each other.
"What did you think of the story?" Asked Statler.
"Well, it was better than The Happytime Murders!" Said Waldorf, and they both laughed.
THE END
Author's Notes: For those unfamiliar with Lamb Chop, she was sock puppet that was created two years after Kermit in 1957. She was created by Jewish ventriloquist Shari Lewis, and has been described as a 6-year-old girl who's very feisty and very smart.

While not as popular as Kermit, Lamb Chop was noticeable for working with Shari longer than Jim Henson would with Kermit. Check out the website below for information on Lamb Chop, Shari, and her daughter Mallory.
It would be a running gag in the Muppets that whenever penguins were happy, they'd throw themselves in the air. As Brian Henson put it, if you can't get the comedy out, you either eat something, blow something up, or throw penguins in the air.
Bean Bunny was a Muppet who made his debut in the 1986 Easter special 'The Tale of the Bunny Picnic'. According to 'The Muppets Character Encyclopedia', when the other Muppets were tired of being cute, they leant all the cuteness to Bean Bunny.
Bean's other appearances included The Jim Henson Hour, Muppet*Vision 3D, The Muppet Christmas Carol, some specials, and even Muppet Babies!
Gobo was the most adventures of the five main Fraggles on Fraggle Rock. He was adventurous, clever, and kind, though he would sometimes get his friends in trouble. He was a bit like Tommy from The Rugrats, except he was older and didn't have any known parents. Puppeteer Jerry Nelson (who performed Gobo) described him as a 'slighter older Robin the Frog'.
