03x21 - Odd Off the Press

[bunniefuu]

[Big O]Last time, on Odd Squad...

-Oswald! -I'm Opal.

This is my partner, Omar.

I am Orla.

[Big O] I'd like the four of you to become

an Odd Squad Mobile Unit. Step inside.

[remote bleeping]

[Omar] You know her?

She made me who I am.

-Any of you recognize her? -The Shadow!

My plan is for us to form a villain network.

[evil cackling]

Agent Opal is my sister!

The day we've been waiting for has finally come!

I was way too protective. I'm sorry.

Well, that's just great.

Now I feel bad for doing all this evil stuff!

We cannot hold off this oddness much longer!

Maybe I can help!

[whooshing]

[all cheering]

Everyone, load into the van.

-You guys go on without me. -[all] What?!

[Opal] I need to set things right with Olizabeth.

But... we've always been a team of four!

Who's gonna replace you?

[heroic music]

[Big O]Odd Off The Press.

Odd Squad, Odd Squad!

Questions for you--

[reporters clamouring]

Are the two of you ready to begin?

[hushed] Orla, when did you get braces?

On the way over here.

Also, I prefer to call it "tooth armor."

[hushed] Let's do this.

-[clearing throat] -Yes, uh,

we all know you have a lot of questions

now that Opal is gone,

so we decided to hold this press conference here,

in Reporterville, where all the reporters live.

[reporter] Uh, yeah hi. What happened in Australia?

We captured the odd powers

of many high-profile villains. Next!

[overlapping chatter]

-One more over here, one more. -Where is Opal right now?

She's with her sister, Olizabeth,

fixing all the oddness she caused

when she called herself The Shadow.

And now we would like to introduce the newest member

of the Odd Squad Mobile Unit, Esmerelda Kim!

[girl] Ahem.

[clearing throat]

It seems we've been pronouncing her name wrong the entire time.

Please welcome Osmeralda Kim!

[cheering]

[upbeat music]

♪

Hi there! I'm really excited to join the Odd Squad Mobile Unit

now that my training at the Academy is done,

along with all my piano lessons,

my flute lessons, my karate lessons...

What will your role be on the team?

Uh... I'm not sure. It's my first day.

Will you be "the serious one" of the group, like Olive and Otis?

Or do you see yourself as more of "the fun one,"

-like Olympia and Otto? -I... I don't know.

-[gasping & whispering] -[Orla] Calm thyselves!

Osmeralda has plenty of time to figure out her role on the team.

-[electricity sparking] -[woman] No, she doesn't!

[reporters shouting]

Hello, Odd Squad!

-...And reporters. -Who are you?

We're the three Odd-Ska-Teers!

Uh, there's only two of you.

I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sorry! Uh, sorry I'm late.

I forgot to charge my suit last night

so I couldn't just, like, "shoop" here.

What do the three of you want?

We're here to cause oddness,

because we still have our odd powers!

Because we weren't in Australia!

-We got haircuts that day. -They don't need to know that!

-Right. -What they do need to know

is that I already hit Second Street!

It's true. Look!

It's raining chunks of guacamole on Second Street.

And yes, there is an extra charge.

And I struck Third Street.

I'm shoulder-deep in beach balls, and--

[thump]

Back to you, Jim!

[laughing]

...That's your cue, Odd-Ska-Teer !

I didn't have a chance to cause my oddness yet.

What?! Why?

I told you, I didn't charge my suit last night,

so I don't have my powers, because it wasn't charged--

We understand how our suits work!

You're ruining our fancy graphics!

It has a number two and number three

that represents Second and Third Street.

Now there's this ridiculous looking question mark

at the top because you haven't caused your oddness yet!

-Should I go do that now? -[both] Yes!

-OK, uh, SHOOP! -[overlapping chatter]

Fear not, not reporters of Reporterville,

-for we shall stop him. -On Osmeralda's first day?

She doesn't even know what her "thing" is yet! Good luck.

-[reporters clamouring] -What are you gonna do?

How will you stop these villains?

How can I find love?

Love is not something you find.

Love is something that finds you.

No more questions!

[reporter] We need answers!

One more question, one question, please, please!

-One more! We need answers! -Listen up.

I know Opal is gone and Osmeralda

is new to the team, but I believe in you.

But if we get into trouble, you'll come and help us, right?

-Wrong. I'm in space. -[all] WHAT?!

The Odd Squad Space Unit needs my help,

so I'll be gone for a while.

But who's gonna take your place?

-[Orpita] Hi! -[agents exclaiming]

-[all] Orpita? -You all know each other?

Orpita was gonna do a book report on Oswald,

then decided to do a book report on me.

Then we let a creature loose in the van.

[whispering] I never finished the book report.

YOU are filling in for the Big O?

Me? HA! No.

I'm just an assistant to the Big O.

She's helping interview agents for the job.

In the meantime, I need you to stop these villains.

Well, what are you waiting for? Go!

So cool! Anyway, good luck!

OK, everybody, we need to figure out

where these villains are gonna strike next.

-Any ideas? -Yes!

Uh, Osmeralda? What are you doing?

I'm trying to be the intense one of the group!

And I think these three villains are related. Look!

Because of the triangle?

You see a triangle? I see a house!

Especially if you draw a chimney on it like I did.

With some flowers, and a walkway.

-I love it. -Also,

people who live in a house are often related!

-OK... -That's all I got right now.

Maybe they're counting by one!

First they stuck Second Street, and then Third Street.

Or two, then three.

So if the last street they struck was three,

the next street will be four.

Let us go to Fourth Street!

♪

[Omar] See anything out there?

No sign of oddness...

except for the reporters talking to their cameras.

Sasha Sanderson reporting to you live from Fourth Street

to say that there are no villains causing oddness.

Maybe we b*at the villains here.

Or we're in the wrong place!

I'm reporting live from Fifth Street,

where it appears the three Odd-Ska-Teers have struck again.

Running shoes are falling from the sky,

and the Odd Squad Mobile Unit isn't here to help!

I really hope they find a replacement for the Big O.

♪

[Orpita] This room is so much fun!

My voice echoes! Listen! ECHO!

[echoing] ECHO! ECHO!

I don't have much time, Assistant O.

Luckily, I made a chart to help.

[cunning music]

The vertical column along the side

shows all the candidates I'll be interviewing for the job!

And what's in the horizontal row,

the one going side to side?

[Orpita] Those are attributes,

or the qualities we're looking for in your substitute.

So I'll ask questions to determine things

like their strength, juice box knowledge, and math skills.

And we can give them a check mark

if they have that attribute!

And the person with the most check marks

will become your substitute!

Great plan. Keep me posted.

-[knocking] -My first interview! Come on in!

-Hi! -[echoing] Hi!

Oh, wow. Check out the echo in this place, eh?

You're Orpita, right? Very nice to meet you. So exciting.

Now, before we get started, I just want to ask you a question.

-Have you seen my glasses? -They're... on your face.

...Yes!

OK, so, uh, do I get the job?

♪

[Oswald] It makes no sense.

Second Street, then Third Street, then Fifth Street.

[air horn blaring]

What are you doing?!

Instead of being the intense one on the team,

I could be the silly one! Woo-hoo!

-[pop] -YAY!

I'm sorry to disappoint you,

but everyone knows I am the silly one.

But worry not, for you shall find your role

-on the team in due time. -[Oswald] Yeah!

Maybe now that these villains have filled

that triangle thingy, they're all done causing oddness.

I bet you thought we were done causing oddness...

but we're not!

We started a brand new triangle.

I already struck Eighth Street, and covered it in marbles!

♪

And I struck First Street with leftover French fries.

They're cold and soggy, and donotreheat well!

And I went home!

-To get my charger. -[both] Wait, what?

My suit ran out of power, remember?

Why didn't you ask to borrow my charger?

Because you would have been mad that I forgot my charger!

Are you kidding me?

Go charge your suit and cause your oddness, now!

...I don't even know how to get out of here!

What does he think we're doing here?

-This is good. -How is this good?!

We have more data now.

In the first triangle, they added the first two numbers

together to determine where to strike next.

Oh, yeah! Because two plus three equals five!

So if we add the two numbers in the new triangle...

eight plus one equals nine!

One plus eight also equals nine.

That's the thing about these triangles.

You can move the three numbers around,

and they all work together.

Look!

...Which really makes me think the numbers are related.

Good point! But we should head to Ninth Street

before it's too late.

[British accent] Off we go, then, guvna!

...I was trying to be the British one of the group.

[Orpita] Repeat after me: "Well, what are you waiting for? Go!"

Well.

What are you waiting for?

But are you maybe not feeling well?

Do you need to take a day off?

'‘Cause the last thing I want to do

is send you out into the field with a case of the sniffles.

...I would try that again.

Well? What are you waiting for?

Gooooo!

Interesting...

Well, what are you waiting for! Go!

[Oona]Odd Squad Training Video #:

A Guide To Your Health.

How do you do, agents?

Being healthy is an important part

of staying on top of all your cases.

So get plenty of sleep, remember to exercise,

and never eat the one million-year-old cheese

in the Odd Squad Museum, or this...

can happen to you.

We all make mistakes.

This one happens to make my lab smell like cheese.

Luckily, we could fix this with...

magical crackers!

You can find these magical crackers

in the magical cr*cker room,

right next to the tomato soup room.

Or, just follow the cr*cker crumbs.

[crunching]

Tell me you did not already start eating those!

How many did you eat?

What this agent does not know

is that it takes exactly six crackers to cure a cheese head.

If you eat any more, then your whole body

will turn into cheese... forever.

Well, let's figure out how many crackers this agent ate.

One, two, three, four, five crackers are left.

Using an equation or a number sentence,

we can find out how many crackers he ate.

Every container holds ten crackers,

and we want to know the combination

of two numbers that will add together to make ten.

We know that five are left, so we could put that

in the first blank. We just need to figure out

what number should go in the other blank to make ten.

Usually the blank is at the end of the equation,

after the equal sign, not in the middle.

What if we switch this equation around

so it looks like a subtraction question we've seen before?

Because you can actually subtract five from ten

to figure out the missing number.

Much easier! So ten minus five crackers equals five.

This agent ate five crackers.

And since curing a cheese head requires exactly six crackers,

he just needs to eat one more magical cr*cker.

[crunching]

Hey, it's Ohlm!

Thanks, Oona! Sorry this happens every day...

It's OK.

I like the lab smelling like cheese.

And now, the rest of the story.

[tense music]

This just in: The Three Odd-Ska-Teers

continue to create oddness in the town of Reporterville,

Osmeralda still hasn't figured out

how she fits on the team, and I still haven't found love.

[Big O]That's enough!

[Mr. O] Thanks for the update.

You can return to Reporterville now.

That's it? I could do, like, horoscopes.

We do horoscopes sometimes, too.

...I just gotta pack up.

[wheels squeaking]

[grunting]

Can someone get the door?

Are you... I'll get the door.

You guys are busy.

Alright. Let's talk strategy.

Here's Reporterville.

Your job as the substitute Big O is to make sure

the Oddness doesn't spread to neighbouring towns.

-[alarms blaring] -Ahh!

Oddness is spreading to neighbouring towns.

That was fast!

-[phone ringing] -Ahh!

You should answer that.

Right. OK, no problem.

Big O's headquarters, how can I help you?

[phone ringing]

Where's that ringing coming from?

There's phones under your desk.

[Mr. O] Please hold a minute.

[blaring continue]

Big O's headquarters, how can I help you?

[phone ringing]

Please hold. Big O's headquarters!

[phone ringing]

So, in the first triangle,

they added up the first two numbers

to come up with the third.

Two plus three equals five.

But why did they not do that in the second triangle?

Because they subtracted! Look. Eight minus one equals seven.

So if they used addition in the first triangle

and subtraction in the second triangle,

the next time they strike, they will use--

-[Oswald] Addition! -[Omar] Subtraction.

We are doomed.

[eerie voice] Or mayyybe nottt!

...I can be the spooky one of the group!

-Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha! -Our van's already haunted.

[eerie music]

Aw, man!

I don't know why this happens.

Just my luck. Either way, I don't think we're doomed.

The more I look at these triangles,

the more I think these numbers are related. Look!

Well, well, well!

If it isn't the Odd Squad Mobile Unit.

-Trying to solve a case. -And talking with their mouths!

...this is why I said we should rehearse before we started.

Never mind that!

We started a new triangle of oddness.

I just covered Tenth Street in mismatched socks.

[chiming]

And this time I went second,

because my suit was fully charged!

Well, tell them what you did.

Oh. I blasted Sixth Street with melted cheese.

[chiming]

And what oddness did you cause, Odd-Ska-Teer Two?

I... fell into a puddle of water and my suit stopped working.

[gasping]

But, uh, my shirt stayed quite dry, actually.

Why didn't you tell me earlier? I have a spare suit in my car!

Wait, why didn't you offer me your other suit

when my suit ran out of power?

I'm tired of managing the both of you.

So we're all gonna go out and cause oddness together.

And it'll be the oddest thing ever!

Come on!

Bye, Odd Squad.

[computer]All emergency protocols activated.

[all] Uh-oh.

[Arctic Mr. O] Thanks, Big O!

It's just like I always say:

hang around long enough and things work out.

I was talking about Orpita.

Oh, yeah. Solid choice.

She definitely checks all the boxes.

You want me to be the Big O?

Little O. But I have a feeling you'll grow into the job.

[computer] You have an incoming call

from the Odd Squad Mobile Unit.

Good luck, Little O.

Thanks, Big O!

-Patch them through! -Orpita, things are a mess.

I'm actually "Little O" now, but we'll catch up on that later.

Reporterville is covered with oddness,

and we're no closer to catching The Three Odd-Ska-Teers!

And I still don't know my place on the team.

Osmeralda, you don't have to figure it out on your own.

Odd Squad is a family.

Even though none of you are technically related.

Wait one tiny little notch on a sundial!

Osmeralda, you said something

about the numbers being related at least several dozen times.

Show me thy notepad!

[chiming]

[Orpita] Those are fact families.

[all] What?

A fact family is a group of math facts using the same numbers.

[Oswald] She's right!

In the case of addition and subtraction,

you use three numbers and get four facts!

Like the way Osmeralda did here, with the first triangle.

Another neat thing?

The two bottom numbers add up to the top number.

Two plus three equals five!

And one plus seven equals eight!

So we can use the two numbers in the third triangle

to figure out where they will strike next!

A six in the bottom corner, then a blank, then ten at the top.

[Osmeralda] So, six plus blank should equal ten.

Six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

Four is the other number that goes in the triangle!

[all] They're heading to Fourth Street!

Well, what are you waiting for? Go!

...That was fun!
