In Goldilocks' story, the Super Readers find themselves in a maze where they have to think of words, which offer clues to lead them to the puppet. Finally, Red's puppet is located in the story and brought back into the real world.
The Super Readers and Red perform the puppet show at the Pupp-athon, which is a success. Finally, the team teaches viewers the importance of practice and perseverance and how working together can help solve problems.
