- You made the statue
of Captain Bounceback?
I thought
you were a hero inventor.
- I am.
This time, I've made
an artistic invention.
I made this whole statue
using some super-special
secret stuff
I invented in my lab.
- Ooh.
What kind of super-special
secret stuff?
- You'll find out
at the statue celebration.
If I can ever get the statue

Use our...
all: Superpowers of Science!
- Let's start by investigating.
- Okay.
Let's take a closer look
at the statue
so we know what the broken-off
piece looks like.
[jets whooshing]
- Hmm.
The bottom part
of the Bounce-a-ma-bob
is long and flat.
- So the missing piece
should be long and flat too.
[dog barking]
- Listen.
[dog whining]
Sounds like a dog...
in trouble!
- We'll keep looking
for the missing piece.
You go help the dog.

Mr. Quivers: Oh, Bitsy!
Come back!
- [whooshes]
What's going on, Mr. Quivers?
- I was throwing sticks
for Bitsy to chase
and she just started...
bouncing.
As you can see.
[dog whines]
Benny: Fear not!
We shall catch her for you!

Oh, no, I don't.

- Wait!
Come here!
- Ah!
- Whoa!
both: Oof!
[both groan]
- That broken-off piece has
to be around here somewhere.
[mysterious music]
- Look!
Over there!
[jets whooshing]
Maybe this is
the broken-off piece.
- Let's use
our Superpowers of Science
and compare it to the statue
to see if it matches.
[jets whooshing]
- Hmm.
Looking at the two parts
side by side,
they're both long and flat.
Lucita: But
the Bounce-a-ma-bob is gray
and this piece is brown.
- Mm-hmm.
It feels different too.
The statue is smooth,
but this piece is rough.
- Dr. Inventorman said
he made the whole statue
out of some super-special
secret stuff.
- So the broken-off piece
should look and feel the same
as the rest of it.
This doesn't.
- I don't think
this is the piece.
- [sighs]
Let's keep looking.
[jets whooshing]

Oh, Bitsy.
Oh!

Uh, mouth.
Mm, uh, uh--oh, Bitsy's mouth!
- [squeaks]
- Oh.
You think Bitsy's hungry!
- [squeaks]
- Maybe we could get her
to bounce over here
if we give her a treat.
- Oh, I do have some treats
in my bag.
Eh, here you go.
- Thanks.
Here, Bitsy!
Doggy yummies.
[dog barks]
[victorious music]
- Huh?
She stopped bouncing.
Mr. Quivers: Oh, Bitsy!
Oh, I'm so glad you're okay.
- [squeaks]
- Oh, you're a sight
for sore eyes.
[boinging]
[both yelp]
My bag!
It's bouncing away!
- First a bouncing dog,
now a bouncing bag?
- We'll get it.
- [whooshes]
Mr. Sparks:
While Benny and Sara
kept missing
the bouncing bag,
the Bounce-a-ma-bob piece
was still missing.
- [gasps]
Aha!
[upbeat music]
Could this be it?
- Let's go compare.
[jets whooshing]
Well, it is long and flat,
just like the broken
Bounce-a-ma-bob.
- And it's also smooth
and gray,
just like the whole statue.
I think we found
the missing piece.
[laughs]
Yes!
[suspenseful music]
[both gasp]
[metal clangs]
- Huh?
Wait a minute.
That sounds like
it's made of metal.
[metal clangs]
Yup, it's metal.
- But the statue's not made
of metal,
so this can't be the piece
that broke off.
- And it's almost time
for the statue celebration.
What do we do?
- I guess
we get the statue ready
and hope that we can still find
the missing piece in time.
Let's take off the ropes.
[boinging]
[gasps]
The statue!
It's bouncing all by itself!
- Tie it back up, quick!
[gasps]
I bet that's
Dr. Inventorman's secret.
The statue's super-special
secret stuff is bouncy,
just like Captain Bounceback.
- And since
the broken-off piece
is the same stuff
as the statue...
[gasps]
Then the missing piece
must bounce too!
[boinging]
- [grunts]
Gotcha!
Oh! Whoa!
- [whooshes]
[sleeve screen beeps]
- Sara, Benny,
we have new information.
The missing piece bounces.
- Bounces?

would say,
time to bounce.

Could be anywhere.

In Dr. Inventorman's picture,
there was a wooden path
next to the river.

just broke off.
I didn't know
water could be strong enough
to wash away a path.

- Looks like it washed away
some of the land too.

gets wider and wider.

an artistic invention.
I made this whole statue
using some super-special
secret stuff
I invented in my lab.
- Ooh.
What kind of super-special
secret stuff?
- You'll find out
at the statue celebration.
If I can ever get the statue
moved into place...
over there.
- I know one way
to get it there.
Maybe two.
- Oh, yes, Sara.
If you could move it,
that really would save the day.
And give me time to rush home
and, uh, clean up
before the statue celebration.
- You can count on us.
- [laughs]
I know I can!
I'll be back soon.
Inventorman away!
[whooshes]
- I got this.
No prob.
[whooshes]
[knuckles cr*ck]
[grunts]
Okay, tiny prob.
I can't see where I'm going!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Wah!
- [squeaks]
- Couldn't you just teleport
the statue over to its spot?
- Oh. [laughs]
Good idea.
[whooshes]
[grunts]
Ah.
There.
- [gasps]
Oh, no.
Look!
AJ: [gasps]
The Bounce-a-ma-bob broke!
- The Captain Bounceback statue
is ruined!
- Maybe if we find the piece
that broke off,
we can fix it.
- Well, where'd it go?
- [squeaking]
[squeaking]
- I don't see it.
- Oh!
I told Dr. Inventorman
he could count on us.
- [squeaks]
[frantic music]
[balloon pops]
[all scream]
[squeaks]
- [laughs]
I think Fur Blur knows
where the broken piece is.
- Come on!
Sara: Did you find it?
- [squeaks]
- Oh.
Now what are we gonna do?
- What we always do.
Use our...
all: Superpowers of Science!
- Let's start by investigating.
- Okay.
Let's take a closer look
at the statue
so we know what the broken-off
piece looks like.
[jets whooshing]
- Hmm.
The bottom part
of the Bounce-a-ma-bob
is long and flat.
- So the missing piece
should be long and flat too.
[dog barking]
- Listen.
[dog whining]
Sounds like a dog...
in trouble!
- We'll keep looking
for the missing piece.
You go help the dog.
- I'm coming, puppy!
- Me too!
[whooshes]
[dog barking]
Mr. Quivers: Oh, Bitsy!
Come back!
- [whooshes]
What's going on, Mr. Quivers?
- I was throwing sticks
for Bitsy to chase
and she just started...
bouncing.
As you can see.
[dog whines]
Benny: Fear not!
We shall catch her for you!
- [whooshes]
- [grunts]
I got you.
Oh, no, I don't.
- [whooshes]
[gasps]
I got you!
- Wait!
Come here!
- Ah!
- Whoa!
both: Oof!
[both groan]
- That broken-off piece has
to be around here somewhere.
[mysterious music]
- Look!
Over there!
[jets whooshing]
Maybe this is
the broken-off piece.
- Let's use
our Superpowers of Science
and compare it to the statue
to see if it matches.
[jets whooshing]
- Hmm.
Looking at the two parts
side by side,
they're both long and flat.
Lucita: But
the Bounce-a-ma-bob is gray
and this piece is brown.
- Mm-hmm.
It feels different too.
The statue is smooth,
but this piece is rough.
- Dr. Inventorman said
he made the whole statue
out of some super-special
secret stuff.
- So the broken-off piece
should look and feel the same
as the rest of it.
This doesn't.
- I don't think
this is the piece.
- [sighs]
Let's keep looking.
[jets whooshing]
- Oh, come here.
Oh, Bitsy.
Oh!
- [squeaks]
[dog whining]
[squeaks]
- Come on, Bitsy.
- [squeaking]
- Uh, what's that, Fur Blur?
Uh, mouth.
Mm, uh, uh--oh, Bitsy's mouth!
- [squeaks]
- Oh.
You think Bitsy's hungry!
- [squeaks]
- Maybe we could get her
to bounce over here
if we give her a treat.
- Oh, I do have some treats
in my bag.
Eh, here you go.
- Thanks.
Here, Bitsy!
Doggy yummies.
[dog barks]
[victorious music]
- Huh?
She stopped bouncing.
Mr. Quivers: Oh, Bitsy!
Oh, I'm so glad you're okay.
- [squeaks]
- Oh, you're a sight
for sore eyes.
[boinging]
[both yelp]
My bag!
It's bouncing away!
- First a bouncing dog,
now a bouncing bag?
- We'll get it.
- [whooshes]
Mr. Sparks:
While Benny and Sara
kept missing
the bouncing bag,
the Bounce-a-ma-bob piece
was still missing.
- [gasps]
Aha!
[upbeat music]
Could this be it?
- Let's go compare.
[jets whooshing]
Well, it is long and flat,
just like the broken
Bounce-a-ma-bob.
- And it's also smooth
and gray,
just like the whole statue.
I think we found
the missing piece.
[laughs]
Yes!
[suspenseful music]
[both gasp]
[metal clangs]
- Huh?
Wait a minute.
That sounds like
it's made of metal.
[metal clangs]
Yup, it's metal.
- But the statue's not made
of metal,
so this can't be the piece
that broke off.
- And it's almost time
for the statue celebration.
What do we do?
- I guess
we get the statue ready
and hope that we can still find
the missing piece in time.
Let's take off the ropes.
[boinging]
[gasps]
The statue!
It's bouncing all by itself!
- Tie it back up, quick!
[gasps]
I bet that's
Dr. Inventorman's secret.
The statue's super-special
secret stuff is bouncy,
just like Captain Bounceback.
- And since
the broken-off piece
is the same stuff
as the statue...
[gasps]
Then the missing piece
must bounce too!
[boinging]
- [grunts]
Gotcha!
Oh! Whoa!
- [whooshes]
[sleeve screen beeps]
- Sara, Benny,
we have new information.
The missing piece bounces.
- Bounces?
[boinging]
I think we know where it is.
[boinging]
- Oh!
There it goes!
- [whooshes]
- Catch it!
It's heading towards the lake!
- I got this!
[whooshes]
Gotcha!
[grunts]
- Oh, no!
[gasps]
Mm-hmm!

As Captain Bounceback
would say,
time to bounce.
[bubbles pop]
[boinging]
Aha!
[whooshes]
- Whoo-hoo!
You did it, Benny!
- Now let's get this
back to the statue fast.
It's almost time

Whoa!
Lucita, AJ,

Sara: Dr. Inventorman.
Bad news and good news.
We kind of had a little problem
with your statue.
- Huh?
Ooh, yes.
But you found the part
that broke off?

Smooth and gray,
