Recap[]

Steve needs to get his notebook from Sidetable Drawer. Sidetable Drawer opens up her drawer. The notebook is on the left side. Steve reaches in and grabs his notebook. He tells the viewers that to play Blue's Clues they had to find a paw-print because that is the first clue and then they had to put it in their notebook because they are Blue's Clues, they had to find another paw-print, that is the second clue, put it in their notebook because they are Blue's Clues. They had to find the last paw-print, that is the third clue, they put in the notebook because they are Blue's Clues and they had to sit in the thinking chair and think.

When Steve says "You just got to follow the L", a boom mic can be seen.
Before singing, Steve does not say "We just figured out Blue's Clues!", but instead he says, "That's the answer to Blue's Clues!".
A really quiet older Mailbox sound from "Snack Time" can be heard after "The Mailtime Song.".
