04x06 - Alex Gets Schooled

[bunniefuu]

[theme music]

[music playing]

[sighing]

[gasping]

What's going on?

Ah!

Let me out of here!

Ah!

[dolphin vocalizing]

[music playing]

[yawning]

Eh.

That was the longest
week of my life.

Tell me about it.

Three finals, two essays, and an
oral presentation isn't school,

it's midterm t*rture.

Only serious girlie
bonding can save us now.

We'll relax with facials,
move into magazine time,

then finish with
a money marathon.

Oh, yeah!

[doorbell ringing]

Hate to rain on
the girlie parade,

but it looks like our
report cards arrived early.

But we just barely finished.

Oh, have I mentioned
I hate technology?

Don't worry, Al.

I'm sure we all did fine.

[gasping]

Yo!

All A's.

I guess all those
late nights cramming

after missions really paid off.

Mostly A's and B's.

A C in metal shop only counts
if I want to be a blacksmith,

which FYI, I so don't.

Oh!

All F's!

But how is that possible?

I've been working so
incredibly hard this semester.

Well, we have had 23
missions this month alone.

Yeah, even Jer said we've been
ridiculously busy this year.

But you two did great.

Why is this happening to me?

[gasping]

Alex, what are you doing?

I may be an F student,
but I know one thing.

My parents cannot
find out about this.

A lecture from them and
I'll be wishing for baddies.

[phone ringing]

Oh no, it's them.

It's my parents
calling from England.

What do I do?

What do I do?

Oh.

First of all, don't panic.

Yeah.

I mean, maybe they're
just calling to say hi.

Hey mom, hi dad.

All F's?

We're very disappointed
in you, young lady.

Very disappointed.

But-- but I can explain.

It's too late.

Your father and I have
come to a decision.

Since it's obvious
we can't trust you

alone in Beverly Hills anymore.

What do you mean, any more?

We've enrolled you
in Dorsal Academy,

a top boarding school
in England where

we can keep an eye on you.

Dorsal is known for
producing some of the smartest

students in the world.

But don't I get
a say about this?

No.

[sighing]

Alex, what is it?

What did your parents say?

Their-- I'm-- my
parents are sending me

to boarding school in England.

Oh!

England?

[sobbing]

But you can't leave.

We'll miss you too much.

I'm going to miss
the way you always

have to shower at exactly


[all sobbing]

It's--It's not forever.

I'll get my grades up and
I'll be back in Bev Hill

before you can say A student.

Plus, we'll still see
each other on missions.

[jingling]

Whoa!

Oh!

Hmm.

Afternoon, ladies.

OK, freaky.

I had no idea WOOHPing
worked both ways.

Jerry, what are
you doing here?

I just heard the sad news.

I'm going to miss you, Alex.

Even though I know JOE
will be good for you.

Joe?

Who's Joe?

[chuckling]

Why, Jolly Old
England, of course.

I went to boarding
school there and look

how brilliantly I turned out.

Not even going
to touch that one.

Uh, what's with
the suitcase, Jer?

Oh, right.

I'm having my apartment
fumigated for dust mites

and need a place to stay.

One might even
say I'm desperate.

One might even say no way.

It's only temporary.

You won't even know I'm here.

All right, you can stay, but
only under certain conditions.

Uh, yeah, you can pitch
a tent in the garden.

And the upstairs is a
strict no Jer zone, capiche?

[yawning]

[horn honking]

That must be my ride.

[sobbing]

Promise we'll always stay
best friends forever.

Bye.

[rain]

[music playing]

I'm headmaster Charleston.

Welcome to Dorsal Academy, Alex.

I'm certain you're going
to enjoy your time here.

Um, maybe if these
uniforms weren't so itchy.

Not only will Dorsal
boost your grades,

we'll enlighten you in ways
you can't even imagine.

Cool.

You're going to be
a superior creature.

Any questions?

Um, just one.

Why is it called Dorsal Academy?

The school is named
after the dorsal fin

of our marine neighbors,
the mighty dolphin.

A cleverly complex
creature known

for its superior intellect,
superior kindness,

and superior wit.

Wow, guess you really
love your marine mammals.

Indeed.

Now, here's your class
schedule, a map of the campus,

and a little history on Dorsal.

You'd better get to class now.

Yes, sir.

Hmm, my word, she is
the perfect candidate.

[dolphin vocalization]

One might even say superior.

[dolphin vocalizations]

Excuse me, but I
thought was supposed

to be on a language class.

It is language class, duh.

Hmm.

I had no idea European
languages were this musical.

[eerie music playing]

Guess we're stuck
with the newbie.

Hmm.

Just stand here,
don't get in the way.

I'll have you know, I won gold
for the Bev Hills swim team.

[whistle blowing]

Team Blue Fin is the winner.

Three years in a row.

Wow, you guys are fast.

Oh, ah.

Raw fish?

Awesome.

I could use a little
taste of home.

Whole fish?

But where is the sashimi?

Where are the California rolls?

That settles it, this place
is officially freaking.

The only thing freaky
around here is you.

[all laughing]

[sobbing]

I bet Sam, Clover, and
Jerry are WOOHPing it up right

now having a grand old time.

Jerry!

You used my cashmere
sweater as a dish rag?

The tag clearly
says dry clean only.

Ah!

Gees, Jer, bachelor much?

I'm sorry.

Oh.

[x-powder ringing]

Hey, I wonder if that's Alex.

Alex, we miss you so much.

Not as much as I miss you.

These Brits are seriously weird.

You can't even imagine what
I've been through today.

Speaking of weird
Brits, Jer is seriously

getting on our nerves.

I'm standing right here.

I just wish we
had another mission

so we could all hang again.

[expl*si*n]

[clears throat]

Jerry, think a guy would
know how to use a microwave

in the 21st century, but no.

We We better go,
talk to you later.

Miss you lots, bye.

Half an hour till my next class.

Hey, I still haven't
seen my dorm room yet.

Maybe I'll have time for a
quick cat nap to recharge.

[water jiggling]

Wetness levels?

Temperature control?

Echo silencing?

Wow, JOE sure has
some weird water beds.

Um, very dry, please.

Cool, it's just like
being back in Bev Hills.

Maybe England won't
be so bad after all.

Dorsal Academy was
made by the dolphin's

characteristic dorsal fin.

[whirring]

Guess I'm not allowed to
take a nap in the afternoon.

Ah!

[beeping]

Hey, let me out of here.

Ah!

[beeping]

I'm sorry girls, I
don't know what happened.

Well, I do.

You left your shaving
cream warmer on

and it set off the sprinklers.

The entire kitchen is flooded
and you've ruined my hair.

[x-powder ringing]

[gasping]

That's Alex's distress signal.

Weird, there's no answer.

It's not like
Alex not to respond.

You'd better go to England
and check it out, super spies.

Great idea.

Thought you'd never ask.

Don't forget your gadgets.

You'll need the ultra-sensitive
earring microphone

communicators, the mini
bombs, the laser nail file,

and the brand new
cherry flavored bubble

protection bubble gum.

Have a safe mission.

[grunting]

Oh, why do uniforms
always have to be

so uncomfortable and itchy?

I don't know.

It must be an
international conspiracy.

We should have Jer look into it.

Come on, Alex's distress call
is coming from the third floor.

Uh?

Huh?

OK, that is officially
the weirdest

waterbed I have ever seen.

Let's just hope
it never catches

on back across the pond.

I'm getting mildewy
just looking at it.

Ew.

[x-powder beeping]

Alex never goes anywhere
without her X-Powder.

Something is definitely up.

Hey, check it out, a photo
of the school's headmaster.

Let's just say his
title is very apropos.

Freaky.

I say we pay him a visit and
find out if he knows what

happened to our best friend.

Let's Let's do it.

Looks like we missed him.

In that case, let's move
from undercover reconnaissance

to full on spy mission.

Wow, Headmaster Charleston
really loves his dolphins.

Yeah, he even takes
vacation pictures with them.

[beeping]

[gasping]

Oopsie.

Clover, what did you do?

What did I do?

More like what did that
freaky headmaster dude do.

I think he's turning
Alex into a dolphin.

We have to get
her out of there.

Stand back, Clover.

You're about to get wet
for the second time today.

[pounding on door]

Not so fast.

We've come to enjoy
having Alex around.

[grunting]

You private schools
are all the same.

You just want a change everyone
into exact copies of you.

Granted, the dolphin
thing is a little weird.

Ah, I see you've
met my family.

Your family are dolphins?

Crazy much?

After I fell off my
family's yacht when I was 10,

dolphins raised me.

And what do these kind
creatures get in return?

Polluted oceans, fishing
nets, and speed collisions.

Well, not any more.

Let me guess, you're
going to change everyone

into half human, half
dolphin so they'll be more

respectful of mother nature?

Yes, with my Dolphinator.

How did you know?

I've been spending
so much time

around baddies
lately I've leaned

to finish their sentences.

Problem is,
dolphins are so cute

and cuddly it's hard to
take your threat seriously.

We'll see about that.

Get them!

[dolphin vocalization] That

What's happening?

It's a bubble net.

Dolphins use them to
catch prey and spies.

Just when you think things
can't get any stranger.

[yelling]

[dolphin vocalizing]

We have to do something, Sam.

We're about to be Dolphinized.

Follow my lead.

Great job, Sammy.

But how exactly are we
going to get out of here?

Let's call Jer, maybe
he'll have an idea.

[loud music]

Jerry, it's Sam.

What's going on?

I'm sorry Sam, I
can barely hear you.

Must be a bad connection.

Sell it to someone
whose buying, Jer.

You're having an unauthorized
party in our house.

No!

Not in the pool!

[horse neighing]

Sorry girls, gotta go.

I can't believe it.

We're about to be Dolphinized
and Jer just hung up on us.

Huh?

Forget Jerry, we
have bigger problems.

This bubble is going to blow.

[girls screaming]

Now that's what I call
thinking outside the box.

Come on, we got
to get out of here.

[alex making dolphin noises]

Why did you remove me?

I loved it in there.

I felt so imperturbable,
so phlegmatic.

Imperturbable?

Phlegmatic?

Alex, are you OK?

Headmaster Charleston
promised to make

me a more illuminated creature.

I think he succeeded, no?

You only think being a
dolphin person is a good thing.

But trust me, your ginormous
head is never going

to look good in any hairstyle.

It's too late to
reason with Alex.

Let's just grab a Dolphinator
so we can turn her back.

[dolphin noises]

Thanks for the alert, Alex.

You truly are one of us.

Not for long.

[grunting]

Ouch!

That really stings.

Ha, ha.

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice-- how's
that saying go again, Sam?

Kind of busy for
cliches, Clover.

[grunting]

[dolphin noises]

Hey, whatever happened
to best friends forever?

It's impossible for land
dwellers and sea dwellers

to be friends.

I thought dolphins
were supposed

to be peaceful creatures!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Don't do this, Sam.

Dolphins are meant to roam free.

[grunting]

[whimpering]

Huh?

[dolphin vocalizations]

Let's get out of here.

Clover, grab the Dolphinator.

OK, but it so clashes
with what I'm wearing.

[dolphin noises]

Quick, we can hide
under the bleachers.

[dolphin noises]

Hey, I've got an idea.

If I rewire my ultra sensitive
earring microphone communicator

to record the dolphin
calls, maybe I

can lure everyone into the
pool and change them back.

That is brilliant, Clover.

I'm buying you a month
of mani-pedis for this.

Ooh, it almost
makes up for making

me wear this tacky helmet.

Want it nice and slippery
for our incoming guests.

[grunting]

Did you get it?

[dolphin noises]

Ah!

Stop!

What are you doing, Clover?

Don't worry, Alex.

We know what's best for you.

[screaming]

Judging from your
hideous uniforms,

you could all use a dose
of my fashion sense.

Guess you can take
the guy out of dorsal,

but you can take the
dorsal off the guy.

[laughing]

You're just lucky I'm
back to normal, bub.

[dolphin noise]

Guess it's a new normal.

[laughing]

Jerry!

How long was I gone for?

Jerry!

You can run a major spy
agency, but we can't trust you

alone in our house for one day?

Uh-uh, you are not leaving
here until everything

is spic and span.

GLADIS!

[chuckling]

I'm just glad to be home,
even if I do have to go

back to England next week.

[phone ringing]

Good news, honey.

Seems there was a
mix up at school.

The F's didn't belong to you.

You got As and B's.

We're so proud of you.

Does that mean I
can stay in Bev Hills?

As long as you promise to
come and visit us more often.

Yeah!

I can stay!

I can stay!

Oh.

The best friends are
back together again.

Oh, I'm so happy.

I'm even going to
let you watch while I

get my free mani-pedis
courtesy of Sam.

Wait, if those grades
weren't mine, who is

the poor sap who got all F's?

[screaming in the distance]

F's?

But how is that possible?

You are grounded for the
rest of the year, young lady.

And that means no dates.

Ah!

You can't be serious.

The boys of Bev Hills
will be lost without me.

Somehow I think
they'll survive.

Yeah.

That just means more for us.

[laughing]

After a particularly
stressful mission,

it's always important
to center yourself

and relax with a
nice round of yoga.

OK, now let's get started.

Lesson number one, the lotus.

First you put your right
leg over your left shoulder

like so.

Then you put your left leg over
your right shoulder like so.

Then raise yourself
up on your hands.

Oh.

Lesson number two, always
do yoga with a best friend.

Sam, Clover, I need you.
