Skip Day Odd Squad

My name is Agent Olive.

This is my partner Agent Otto.

This is my lucky pencil.

But back to Otto and me.

We work for an organisation run by kids that investigates

anything strange, weird and especially odd.

Our job is to put things right again.

Who do we work for?

We work for...

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.

BOTH: Whoa!

Not to worry, our car fixinator should do the trick.

Wait!

Let me get at this thing.

Amazing.

Want to 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, Miss O?

Yes, something very odd has happened.

-You remember the town baker?

-Hi, guys.

So, usually, my cakes are light and fluffy but lately...

-Yuck!

-Oh!

I can't figure out what's going on.

Hmm, I have a hunch.

Miss Baker, can you walk us through what you do to bake a cake?

No, but I can hand you this recipe card.

OK. So you did step one, mix ingredients.

-But you skipped step two, bake cake.

-But there's frosting there.

So you did three, put on frosting.

But you skipped step four, add birthday candles.

Miss 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.

So you did step one, mix ingredients

-but you skipped step two...

-Bake cake.

Then you did three, put on frosting but skipped four...

Add birthday candles.

You're skipping every other step.

Oh, wow, I had no idea.

Thank you, Miss O.

Miss Baker, would you walk across the room for me?

Oh, my pleasure.

She didn't walk, she skipped.

Exactly.

Miss Baker, I'm afraid you have a case of the skips.

Everyone, put on your masks.

ALARM BLARES

What's going on? What are the skips?

The skips is a condition that makes you skip steps and also skip.

And it's contagious. Dr O!

Ma'am, you need to come with me.

ALARM STOPS

That was kind of fun.

Now get back to work.

I'm so glad that's over.

I've so much left on my to-do list today

and I'm only on number three, "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!

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've this.

She just finished number three, which means she's going to do number four.

But remember, she has the skips,

that means she's going to skip number four.

-You're right, Doctor.

-Of course I'm right, I'm a doctor.

If she's going to skip number four,

that means she's going to go from three to five.

"Play tennis." O'Reilly, send me to the tennis courts.

Preparing to squishinate.

Squishinating.

How's that cough coming, O'Reilly?

HORN BEEPS

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 four and gone to five.

That's here.

RING TONE PLAYS

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.

Whoa! Polly, what happened?

Olive ruined my stand.

Oh, what?!

Yeah, she was acting so weird.

Hey, Polly, cup of hot chocolate, please.

Sure, serve yourself.

SHE HUMS

Have a good day.

Oh, she skipped the step where she took the cup.

Olive has a case of the skips.

Yuck, 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 six.

Why did she skip all the way from three to six?

RING TONE PLAYS

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've nothing to watch it with.

-Check the inside of your coat.

Whoa!

Hmm, looks like she skipped the step where she put on a bathing suit.

'Olive was also seen at the basketball court.'

OK, 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.

But number nine is "swimming"

and number 12 is "shoot hoops".

She's so all over the list, I'll never find her.

Think, Otto. What would Olive do?

She would go to the Mathroom. Thanks.

Greetings, Agent Otto.

Hi, Mathroom.

OK, let's go over what I know so far.

Number three, was Olive showing me her list...

..then she skipped to six,

"get hot chocolate".

Then she went to nine, "go to swimming pool".

And then 12, "basketball".

Mathroom, can you put these on a number line?

Generating number line.

OK, start at 3, skipped 4, 5, went to 6.

Skipped 7, 8, went to 9,

skipped 10, 11, went to 12.

3, 6, 9, 12.

I see a pattern! Olive is skipping by threes, which means

the next number she's going to do is 13, 14, 15.

"Go skydiving." I know where to find her.

Great job, Agent Otto.

Yes! Mathroom, show me some love.

Generating love.

ROCK MUSIC PLAYS

Wait!

MUSIC STOPS

When you skydive,

you jump out of a plane.

What if Olive skips the step where

she puts on her parachute?

SHE SCREAMS

I'm coming, Olive.

Otto!

SHE SCREAMS

Let's go home.

Ya!

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.

# Skip, skip, skip to my Lou Skip, skip, skip to my Lou

# Skip, skip... #

Um, how long do we have to do this?

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?

MUSIC: Skip To My Lou.
