Synopsis
A tearful Rufus Hooter Talltales explains that his hat Gordon (lost many episodes earlier) has been retrieved but is, somehow, dying.

Trivia

 * This episode (possibly to mark the 10th-anniversary milestone) stands out from the usual World's Greatest Adventures formula, as it features no adventure (real or boasted-of), but instead parodied drama and a genuine fantasy element, namely Gordon's regeneration. The direction also emphasizes the distance between this episode and others in several ways:
 * After beginning in the usual sepia, the image quickly shifts to pure black and white.
 * Additionally, the golden regeneration energy of Gordon's transformation is depicted in color, though the rest of the picture remains black and white.
 * Rather than some set-piece, the entirety of the episode takes place inside Rufus's cluttered flat.
 * The title card reads "IN MEMORIAM - GORDON THE HAT", as opposed to the usual "YOUR HOST - R. H. TALLTALES".
 * The opening song is replaced by a variation on Greensleaves that lasts throughout Gordon's "death scene", then melds into a different musical piece. The closing song is retained but made to sound more emotional through echoing.
 * In the thumbnail, the title font is identical, but the letters are colored shades of blue instead of shades of red and yellow as in every other episode.
