She helps Bert and Ernie sacrifice an ox to Jupiter and then sings a song about how you can read the future by examining its entrails. Over the course of the episode, Hypatia teaches her new friends all about her pagan culture. Grover says, “Who are you and why does your statue of Christ the Lord look so bizarre?” and Hypatia replies, “I’m Hypatia, and this isn’t Christ, it’s Ceres, one of many deities whom I worship since I’m a pagan.” Big Bird looks at her for a few moments before saying, “I’m not crazy about that.” In the episode, several Sesame Street regulars, including Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, Bert and Ernie, and Grover are all walking to Mass when they see Hypatia kneeling at a shrine to Ceres, Goddess of Agriculture. The new character, an orange monster with blue pigtails named Hypatia, made her first and only appearance on last week’s episode of Sesame Street.
