Sally Brown: It's Easter and they already have that Christmas decorations up!.Peppermint Patty: Marcie! You've made egg soup!? ( screams).However, Snoopy stops the fight before it can start by giving Lucy an alarming but charming kiss on the cheek. Ten weeks later she is still grumpy about it and goes to see Snoopy to fight him. Lucy realizes that the beagle took her eggs. But she does it without peeling off the egg shell. Peppermint Patty says we eat them (we put a little salt -or pepper- on it and eat them). Meanwhile, Marcie asks Peppermint Patty what the Easter eggs should be done after she receives them. And she shouts out that the Easter Beagle gave her one of her own eggs. Sally (happily) says that Linus was right. Snoopy gives an embarrassed smile and hands the boy his now empty basket. However, when he gets to Charlie Brown he finds that he has run out of eggs. He carries a basket of painted eggs and tosses an egg to everybody. On Easter morning, Snoopy arrives as the Easter Beagle. ![]() She is not aware that Snoopy is following her and picking up the eggs. Lucy prepares for an Easter egg hunt by hiding some painted eggs outside. None of the other children believe him, except for Sally, although she is skeptical at first because she remembers when the Great Pumpkin failed to show up on a previous Halloween. Linus insists that it is not necessary to prepare for Easter because the Easter Beagle will do it for them. ![]() The children are shocked to see that, although it is not yet Easter, the department store is already displaying Christmas decorations (with a banner "displaying 246 days until Christmas". Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Sally, Linus and Lucy meet Peppermint Patty and Marcie in the street and go to the shopping mall together. When Snoopy tries to look inside, he gets his snout stuck and the birdhouse breaks into pieces, requiring a return trip to the shopping mall to buy a new one. Snoopy gets him a birdhouse which Woodstock converts into a luxurious apartment furnished with a television, some artwork, a sunken bed, carpeting, a lounge chair, a vase, lamps, and a quartet-speaker stereo system. Woodstock wakes up feeling cold in his nest. Peppermint Patty agrees with Linus, but tells herself that she doesn't want her friend Marcie to be disappointed on Easter. But Linus tells Peppermint Patty and Marcie that the Easter Beagle will get them to receive Easter eggs. Peppermint Patty has spent her whole allowance, is out of money, can't buy any more eggs, and she and Marcie end up with no colored eggs (and thus, they can't make any more attempts). In the end of the attempt, Peppermint Patty tells Charlie Brown that she and Marcie have ruined three dozen eggs. This results her into inadvertently making egg soup. She (Marcie) inadvertently boils the eggs into a pot of water, but cracks them out of their shell. On the third and final attempt -and after Peppermint Patty spends the last of her allowance on a third dozen eggs- when Peppermint Patty tells Marcie that the eggs are to be boiled (and neither fried, toasted, roasted, nor waffled), Marcie misunderstands. On the second attempt, Marcie waffle-presses four eggs, unsuccessfully tries to toast one (which cannot fit inside a single slot), and roasts it and the remaining seven (while still in the carton) in the oven. ![]() Each time the girl cooks the eggs in a different way and exasperates Peppermint Patty. Marcie's inability to understand how to make Easter eggs forms a running gag throughout the special. (On the attempt to make Easter eggs, Marcie asks Peppermint Patty, "Sir? How do we color the eggs after we fry them?".) While Peppermint Patty is not looking as she is busy with mixing the paints, Marcie fries the eggs, thus making it impossible to paint them. The special opens with Marcie arriving at Peppermint Patty's house to paint eggs for Easter.
