- Coming up on Odd Squad... - Ms. Baker, I'm afraid you have
a case of the skips. - When you get the skips, you don't know you have the skips!
- And it's contagious. - Look at Olive...skipping!
That means... - (both): Olive has the skips!
- My name is Agent Olive.
This is my partner, Agent Otto.
This is my collection of rocks - but back to Otto and me.
We work for an organization run by kids
that investigates anything strange, weird,
and, especially, odd. Our job is to put things right again.
- Rrr! - Yeah!
- Who do we work for? We work for Odd Squad.
- Thanks for coming, Odd Squad.
I don't know what's wrong with my car, but every time I get into the back seat...
...this happens.
- (together): Whoa!
- Not to worry. Our car- fixinator should do the trick.
- WAIT! Let me get at this thing!
Amazing!
Wanna go for a bike ride? - Actually, I do.
- To be young again...
- What?
- Um... Let's go.
- Wait, what did you say?
- You wanted to see us, Ms. O? - Yes.
Something very odd has happened. You remember the town baker.
- Hi, guys. So, usually, my cakes are light and fluffy,
but lately...
- Ugh... - Ugh!
- I can't figure out what's going on!
- Hmm... I have a hunch.
Ms. Baker, can you walk us through what you do to bake a cake?
- No! But I can hand you this recipe card.
- Okay... So you did step one - mix ingredients--
- But you skipped step - bake cake.
- But there's frosting in there, so you did , put on frosting--
- But you skipped step - add birthday candles.
Ms. O, can you put these steps on a number line?
- What? You think I can whip up a number line just like that?
You're absolutely correct.
- (Olive): So, you did step - mix ingredients -
but you skipped step -- - (Otto): Bake cake.
- Then you did - put on frosting -
but skipped -- - Add birthday candles.
- You're skipping every other step.
- Oh, wow! I had no idea.
- Thank you, Ms. O.
Ms. Baker, would you walk across the room for me?
- My pleasure.
- (Otto): She didn't walk - she skipped!
- Exactly. Ms. Baker, I'm afraid you have a case
of the skips.
- Everyone, put on your masks!
(alarm blaring)
- What's going on? What are the skips?
- The skips is a condition that makes you skip steps
and also skip.
- (Ms. O): And it's contagious. Dr. O!
- Ma'am, you need to come with me.
- Uh... Uh...
- That was kind of fun.
Now get back to work!
- Yeah.
- I'm so glad that's over.
I have so much left on my to-do list today!
And I'm only on number : "Show Otto to-do list."
- How did you even...
- Here's a copy if you need to reach me.
- That Olive, pretends to be so serious, but look at her!
Skipping, not a care in the world...
- That means... -(both): ...Olive has the skips!
Olive, wait!
- (O'Reilly): Squishinating!
- Oh, no! - This is bad!
When you get the skips, you don't know you have the skips. You need to find
your partner, stat! - But I don't know where she is!
But I do...because I have this!
She just finished number , which means she's going to do number .
- But remember, she has the skips.
That means she's going to skip number .
- You're right, doctor. - Of course I'm right, I'm a doctor.
- If she's going to skip number ,
that means she's going to go from to : "Play tennis."
O'Reilly, send me to the tennis courts. - Preparing to squishinate...
Squishinating!
- How's that cough coming, O'Reilly?
(car horn honking) Oh, good, much better.
WHAT'S NEXT?
- I'm sorry, Otto. Olive never showed up for our game.
It's not much fun without her.
I win...again.
That doesn't make sense.
Olive should have skipped and gone to . That's here.
(cell phone ringing with theme song ring tune)
- O-T-T-O . - Otto, it's me, Dr. O.
I work with you at Odd Squad, I have a lab coat,
we were talking about Olive caught the skips?
- Yes, I remember. What's up? - Olive was just seen
at Polly Graph's Hot Chocolate Stand. - I'm on my way.
- Yep, you're fine.
(whirring)
- Whoa, Polly, what happened?
- Olive ruined my stand!
- What? Wha...wha...
- Yeah! She was acting so weird.
- Hey, Polly. Cup of hot chocolate, please.
- Sure. Serve yourself.
(humming)
- Have a good day.
- Mm, she skipped the step where she took the cup.
Olive has a case of the skips. - Ugh.
- This is how I feel about the skips.
- I know it's not a graph,
but it' s just how I feel.
- But "Get hot chocolate" is number .
Why did she skip all the way from to ?
(cell phone ringing again)
O-T-T-O. - Otto, it's me again, Dr. O.
We met at headquarters, and then I talked to you on the phone...
- Yes, I remember. What is it? - More Olive sightings.
I'm sending video right now. - But I have nothing
to watch it with... - Check the inside of your coat.
- Whoa!
- Mm, looks like she skipped the step
where she put on a bathing suit. - (Dr. O): Olive was also seen
at the basketball court. - Okay. Thanks, doctor.
- And thank you, doctor. - I'm not a doctor.
- I know, I was talking to myself.
Good luck my friend. ...That was also to me.
(sighing)
- But number is...
...swimming, and number is "sh**t hoops."
She's all over the list. I'll never find her.
- Think, Otto. What would Olive do?
- She would go to the Mathroom! Thanks.
(whirring)
- Greetings, Agent Otto. - Hi, Mathroom.
Okay, let's go over what I know so far.
Number was Olive showing me her list...
...then she skipped to , "Get hot chocolate."
Then she went to , "Go to swimming pool."
And then , basketball.
Mathroom, can you put these on a number line?
- Generating number line.
Okay. She started at , skipped , , went to ,
skipped , , went to ,
skipped , , went to .
, , , .
I see a pattern! Olive is skipping by threes!
Which means the next number she's going to do
is , ... !
"Go skydiving."
I know where to find her.
- Great job, Agent Otto.
- Yes! Mathroom, show me some love.
- Generating love.
(rock music playing)
- Wait!
(music stops)
When you skydive,
you jump out of a plane.
What if Olive skips the step
where she puts on a parachute?
(gasping)
(screaming)
- I'm coming, Olive!
- Uh... Otto! AHH!
AHH!
- Partner, let's go home.
Yeah!
- Whoa!
And you solved it all by yourself?
I'm impressed, Agent Otto! - Thanks!
I just wish there was an easier way to get rid of the skips.
- Let's get this over with.
- (Olive and baker): ♪ Skip, skip, skip to my Lou ♪
♪ Skip, skip, skip to my Lou ♪
- (baker): Uh, how long do we have to do this?
- (Olive): Uh, we should be out in a week.
- By the way, I'm Dr. O, I work here at Odd Squad...
- I know!
- WHAT'S NEXT?
- Greetings, Agents, I'm Oscar with today's Odd Report.
As you can see, we have bumper-to-bumper blobs on the East Bay Bridge.
Also, there's a giant crushing houses in town.
O'Connor, can you bring up the photo?
- Comin' at ya! - That's you, O'Connor.
- Yeah! - You again...
- Yeah... Yeah! - That's actually me and you.
- That was quite a fun day, there... But seriously, the one with the giant!
- You got it! - There's the big guy.
- On Monday, he crushed a house on th Street.
URGH, I'M SO ANGRY!
And on Tuesday, he crushed a house on th Street.
I THINK I MIGHT HAVE ANGER MANAGEMENT ISSUES!
And yesterday, he destroyed a house on th Street.
I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR PERSONAL PROPERTY!
Now, O' Connor thinks that this guy's all over the place,
but, I mean, O'Connor also thinks I can't speak dolphin.
(chirping) Understand what that meant, O'Connor? Yeah, exactly.
Anyways, if you put these streets on a number line,
you can really see that he's skipping by twos.
First he went to th Street,
then skipped , streets to th Street,
then skipped , more streets to th Street.
Now that we know his pattern, we can predict
that today he will crush a house on , ... th Street.
Which is where I live! Heh...
Oh, no... Dolphin brothers, unite!
(chirping) - (O'Connor): Yeah!
- Thanks for coming, Odd Squad.
- What seems to be the problem, sir?
- Well, I really want to go swimming,
but every time I try to go to the ocean, this happens...
(buzzing)
- See?
- A question: did you say anything bad about the ocean recently?
- Well, I... I might have said it was cold...
- You shouldn't have done that. - Really bad move.
- What? It is cold! - Don't say it again!
- The ocean is mad at you, and it's keeping you out.
- Well, what do I do? - (together): Apologize!
- (scoffing): To the ocean?
- I don't see a lake around here.
- Okay, ocean, I'm sorry you're so sensitive...
- Oh, come on. Do it for real, man!
- Okay. Ocean, I'm sorry I said those things about you.
- And... - And I really like how blue you are?
- And... - And wavy and wet and splashy.
- That should do it.
- It worked! Thanks, Odd Squad!
- Have a good day, sir. Let's get out of here.
This sand is hot... Oh!
That's my bad.
- For you, for you, these are for you,
I think this is for that...
- Wow, I've never seen you move so fast!
- If I finish all my work, I can leave early
to see the Great Rinaldi at the theatre.
- Wait, the what? - The theatre.
You know, where you go see shows?
- No, not that, Grinal...
- Grinaldi. The greatest magician
in the history of magic.
Here, let me show you.
- Prepare to be dazzled!
Stupefied! Thunderstruck!
Grinaldi's magic is so great,
it is everywhere. Come!
See my magic saw trick, where I cut through everything,
including myself!
Oh, yes, it's happening.
Oh, yes! (bell ringing)
- Grinaldi's the one that inspired me to become a magician one day.
- I thought you wanted to become an Olympic speed skater.
- That was on Monday. - What about tornado chaser?
- That was on Tuesday. Today's Wednesday. Wait...
Oh, no! The show's already started! I've gotta get
out of here before Ms. O finds something else for me to do.
- I have something for you to do.
- How'd you even get in there? - Because I'm everywhere!
Now, you two, go to the bakery! NOW!
- Ah! Thanks for coming, Odd Squad.
It's my cakes. They're ruined!
A wedding is supposed to bring people together,
not split them apart!
- But who would want to steal cakes?
- Hang on, partner. No cakes are missing.
The whole thing's still here, they're just cut into pieces.
Which means... they're split in half!
- But who would want to do something like this?
- (together): Circle Sue! - No, that doesn't sound right.
- Oh, yeah... - (together): Halvesie Harriet!
- Yes! Yeah, that sounds right.
- No, no, no, I didn't do this!
Yes, I like splitting things in half,
but I always steal one half and leave the other, see?
Ha ha ha!
Just did that. - (Olive): Wait...
So all these things are stolen?
- I think you're getting away from the point.
Would you like some lemonade?
- Um... - Oh, uh...
- We're good, we're good.
- Look, Harriet, can you please just confess
so we can close the case and I can go see the Great Grinaldi?
- But I'm innocent, I've been in my apartment all day,
knitting this half sweater!
- Hmm, not half bad. (cell phone ringing)
- Thank you. - Gopher Olive...
I see. Things are falling apart at the library, too.
- Ah-ha!
That proves that I didn't do it! I've been here with you two.
- You're right. We're sorry for bothering you.
- That's alright. Let me show you to the door.
- Bye! - See you soon.
- I'm just gonna lock up behind you.
- Let me guess, Mr. Fonts; the books are splitting in half?
- No! It's much worse than that - look!
- The books started off whole,
but now they're in equal pieces.
- So the books split into fourths...
I know who did this - Fourthsie Fouriet!
- No such person, but nice try. - (Mr. Fonts): Well, whoever's
doing it is making the books very difficult to read,
and poor Dustin is having a horrible time shelving, look!
- (voice breaking): I'm trying so hard!
(cell phone ringing)
- Gopher Olive. - How come they always call you?
- Agents, there's been another development.
I'm sending video.
- I don't see anything.
- It's in Otto's jacket.
- Oh, yeah!
, , , ,
, , ... . pieces?
- I need you to find out who is cutting
all these things into pieces.
STAT. As in, ASAP.
As in as soon as possible.
As in NOW!
- You know, I've got an idea. Let's take a break,
go see the Great Rinaldi and come back to the case with fresh eyes.
- Better idea. We're going to the Mathroom.
(whirring)
- Oh, this is just... I'm going to have my apple break!
(whimpering): Oh, no, the apple
is in fourths!
Oh, that's better actually.
- Greetings, agents. - Hi, Mathroom.
Okay, let's look over the evidence so far.
First, the cakes at the bakery split
into two equal pieces. Halves.
But then the books split into equal pieces. Fourths.
- And the bridge split into equal pieces. Eighths.
- (Olive): But why halves, then fourths,
then eighths? - The Great Grinaldi.
- Otto, can you forget about Grinaldi for a minute?
- No. Mathroom, bring up a picture
of Grenaldi in his magic box.
- Generating images. - Other magicians
saw themselves in half once, but Grenaldi wants to be better,
so he saws himself in half times.
And when you split something once,
you have , equal pieces. Halves.
- And if you split each of those equal halves in half, you have
, , , equal pieces.
Fourths. And splitting each of those equal pieces
in half again gives you
, , , ,
, , , equal pieces. Eighths!
- Mathroom, show us a map of the theatre
where Grinaldi was performing.
- Generating images.
- It's close to the bakery, the library and the bridge.
- Grinaldi did say his magic is so great, it's everywhere.
So it must have leaked outside of the theatre!
- We gotta get to Grinaldi's show.
- That's what I've been trying to say all day!
- And now, all eighths of the Great Grinaldi
shall disappear.
- (agents): ODD SQUAD! ODD SQUAD! Stop right there, Grinaldi.
- Oh... - (together): Hey, people.
- What? What's going on? What...
Actually, it'll be faster if I just read your minds.
- Oh, no, the cake... and the books...and the bridge!
I'm so sorry, I've caused so much trouble!
And... and yes, Otto, you can have my autograph.
- YES!
- (Olive): Mr. Grinaldi, can you fix it?
- Yes...but Grinaldi cannot reverse the spell
with his head alone. I will need an assistant!
- I'll do it! - Excellent!
- No! No way! No way am I going to let you do this.
...Looking like that.
(audience applauding)
- Go get 'em, partner. - Thanks, partner.
- (Grinaldi): Now, assistant, your first job
is to put the pieces of the Great Grinaldi back together.
♪♪
- Ta-da! (audience murmuring)
- (Grinaldi): Uh, not it. - Oh...
♪♪
- Ta-da! (audience murmuring)
- Still not it. - Are you sure? You look pretty good to me.
- Otto... - Okay.
♪♪
(hesitantly): Ta-da...
- "Ta-da" indeed! (audience applauding)
- And now, I shall make myself disappear!
- Wait! You need to fix the other stuff.
Ah... Heh, heh. Right.
Alakazam! Bing-bangarol!
Fractions come together, and make one whole!
(audience applauding)
- Well done, agents. Here's your new assignment.
- Never fear, the Amazing Otto is on the case!
(coughing)
- How long am I going to have to put up with this?
- Uh, he should be over it by...Friday.
What is the use in that?
- Welcome to the Breakroom.
My name is Oksana, and this is where agents come to enoy the food I make.
In case you were wondering, the actual kitchen
is floors down from here.
And there's no elevator, or stairs...
...but I have a climbing rope.
Odd Squad agents have quite the appetite,
so I make all sorts of food for them.
Like this ham and pudding sandwich,
this broccoli-pudding soup,
or this pizza -
it's actually made of pudding.
The other great thing about it;
if two agents are in the Breakroom who want
to share this pizza, it can be split in half.
, . Two equal parts.
Halves. But what if there are hungry agents in the Breakroom,
and I don't have another pizza ready? Not to worry.
The pizza can be divided into fourths.
, , , .
Fourths.
But let's say there are hungry agents in the Breakroom
and I don't have another pizza,
because I've fallen asleep on account of preparing
meals for breakfast.
Not to worry. Pizza can even be divided into eighths.
, , , ,
, , , . Eighths.
It's not the best job in the world, but at least
they let me play my own music. (loud electronic music playing)
- I'm Olive's partner, Agent Otto. I just joined the Squad.
Every day, there's something different.
(roaring)
- Can you spell that for me? - Rawr... Rawr... - Mm-hmm...
- , ... - Er, ... No, was that ?
- Oh, no! (clucking)
The hardest part of the job...
...is when I got chopped in half.
(screaming)
Today, I get to help a guy who turned invisible!
- Uh, can we get back to that, please? - That's Bob.
- Fun fact: the "O" in "Odd Squad" stands for "opportunity".
- No it doesn't! - It stands for "Odd".
- Ahh... What does the "S" stand for?
- (all): ...Soup.
