Back to the Past Odd Squad

My name is Agent Olympia. This is my partner Agent Otis.

This is my lunch after I ate it, but back to Otis 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.

-Hurry, Olympia.

-I'm coming, Ms O!

Who do we work for? We work for Odd Squad.

-Thanks for coming, Odd Squad.

-What seems to be the problem, ma'am?

I'm trying to copy this flyer to spread the word

about the office bowling party tonight, but watch what happens.

-OTIS AND OLYMPIA:

-Whoa!

It's been happening all day.

And if I don't put these flyers up, no-one will come to the party.

-E-mail?

-Not a fan.

-Why don't you have the party here?

You've got everything you need.

You're right.

-Thanks, Odd Squad.

-Happy to help. Have a great day.

Hey, Karen. Just grabbing a coffee.

Toner's low.

-Hello? Oscar?

-Howdy do?

-You're not Oscar.

-Neither are you.

Phew! And I was worried we wouldn't have anything in common.

-Where's Os...?

-Hey, guys.

-Ah!

Just sent you a message about my new lab assistant, which you can

now ignore. Oona meet Olivia and Otis.

-Nice to meet you.

-Hi.

Pleasure is all mine.

By the way, Oscar, I was cleaning the back room

when I found this lamp. Oh, and also this weird gadget.

Careful, that's a day-o-nator. Sort of a time machine.

BOTH: Sort of?

Sort of?!

-Urgh! Too slow.

-Well, it can zap you to any day this year.

Yikes! I'll put it back.

-Oh!

-Oh, boy.

For a sec I thought it was going to fall and accidently zap us

somewhere in time.

I should not hold this any more. Oscar, catch.

Ah!

-What happened?

-Seems the same.

-Except for that.

That wasn't broken a second ago.

Another question, why are we over here AND over there?

-Duck!

-Where?

I think the day-o-nator zapped us into the future.

How do you know we're forward in time and not back?

Today was my first day on Odd Squad.

-If we were in the past, I wouldn't be here yet.

-Good thinking, Oona.

And that's why cows don't wear pants.

LAUGHTER

I made you guys laugh! Wow!

I am really fitting in here.

Hey, look, another day-o-nator.

Great. So now all you have to do is zap us back to the day

-we came from.

-Yeah, that's not how the day-o-nator works.

I need to know which day it is to figure out

when to zap us back.

Maybe figure out what today's date is, right?

I know someone's who's always helpful - me!

So I'll go talk to myself.

No! You can't come into contact with yourself.

Right, or it will cause a time-tastrophe.

First, time will warp in on itself

and finally, the time sheep will come.

Actually, time sharks. The time sharks are in charge now.

You see, time sheep are the guardians of the timescape,

but they were but they were overthrown by the time sharks.

They came by land and by air.

I know what you're thinking, the time sheep

had a way better Navy, so how could they lose?

-True...

-Erm, Oscar?

Oh, hey, guys.

Can we focus on how to fix this for now?

Yeah, sure. To the Calendar Room!

Huh. I expected something more.

Hey, man, not everything can be the Volcano Room.

Now, the day-o-nator can only zap us within the year,

so we must be in one of these 12 months.

We just need to figure out what day it is and since March 1st was

my first day on the job, March 1st is the day we have to get back to.

Right.

And we know we're in the future,

so we must be somewhere in between March 2nd and December 31st.

So, we can take out January and February.

That still leaves ten whole months.

Why don't the four of us just run off

and never tell anyone what happened?

Other option - we split up and look for clues to figure out

-what day it is.

-Good idea, Oona.

But remember, you can't see or talk to any of your future selves.

Otherwise, it will cause a...

-OSCAR, OLYMPIA AND OTIS: ..time-tastrophe.

-Time-tastrophe.

Too slow again.

-I'm bigger.

-Orchid! Hide!

Wait, Oscar said we can't talk to ourselves,

but we can talk to other people. This will be easy, come on.

Orchid, I need to know what month and day it is.

Sure, can you help me open this jar first?

Burned!

# La-la-la-la-la! #

At least you didn't get it on your face?

Which reminds me, can you help me open this other jar?

Orchid, please leave.

OK, whatever.

Come on.

Wait now, hold up.

-Great! My snowballs are still here.

-What?!

And so are my leaves!

I'm sorry, I don't see how this helps us.

Well, you see when it's not winter, I keep snowballs in the freezer

and when it's not fall, I keep leaves in the fridge.

So if you have both snowballs and leaves inside,

that means they're not outside which means it can't be fall or winter.

Bingo!

I think that's a really fun game,

but we should probably focus on the mission.

BLEATS

Fall starts in September and goes through October and November,

so we can get rid of those months.

And winter starts in December.

So that leaves March, April, May, June, July and August.

-That's still six months or half a year.

-The best half.

-You think?

Yeah, because, I mean, May is hamburger month and, like, come on,

end of discussion!

True.

Urgh! I can't get this stuff off me.

Agents! We just started spring cleaning. You're a mess.

-Sorry, Ms O.

-Hey, we all make mistakes.

At the end of the day, we're all on the same team. Let's shake on it.

-Got ya!

-MS O LAUGHS

What's going on?

Our future selves! Run!

-What happened to you?

-Long story.

-You guys almost saw yourselves, didn't you?

-How did you...?

The world was starting to get a little wonky.

Oscar and I have great news. It is definitely not fall or winter.

Wait, fall or winter. Otis, do you number what Ms O said out there?

Spring cleaning. She said spring cleaning just started.

So, if it's spring, then we can get rid of June, July and August,

because those are summer months.

But then that still leaves March, April and May.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Miss O said that spring cleaning JUST started.

As we all know, spring cleaning starts in April.

-Huh?

-Oh, yeah, you guys are new here, I forgot.

It starts in April, trust me.

So that means we can get rid of March and May.

So the day we're in right now has to be one of those 30 days in April.

-Maybe we just guess.

-No! You can't guess.

A foolish scientist once guessed, but she guessed wrong

and fell through the timescape.

She landed outside a farm in upstate Vermont which was under

-the control of the time koala bears...

-Oscar!

Oh, hey, guys, I'm back. Point is, no guessing.

-Maybe we should go look for more clues?

-Can we stop for lunch first?

Lunch! The break room serves a lunch special every day of the week.

-Let's go.

-I'll bring April!

Wait, if you bring the calendar,

then it's not really the Calendar Room any more.

-Pencil Room.

-I'm glad I hired you.

Coast is clear. Go, go, go.

-Hot diggidy dog.

-Odd squad serves hot dogs on Fridays.

Which means today has to be a Friday.

Fridays in April are April 1st, April 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th.

Uh-oh. Our future selves are nearby. Come on.

Hot diggidy dog.

-Why are things still turning weird?!

-Because here you come!

It's you. That way, go, go, go!

We're everywhere. We're so busy.

Time-tastrophe is happening.

I'm not going down with an empty stomach.

HOT DOG SQUEAKS

A squeaky toy? Urgh!

You know, I'm glad there will be no future

-if the future is filled with pranks!

-What?

Today has been nothing but a joke.

Glitter jars, hand buzzers and now fake hot dogs!

So...people play jokes on each other on April Fools' Day.

That's April 1st.

April 1st is a Friday, that's what today is!

-It's getting worse.

-Wait, Oona, are you sure?

I've never been more sure of anything in my life.

Actually, there was this one time in Paris...

Never mind, just zap us.

-Hey. Oh, sorry!

-Didn't see you there.

-It worked!

-We did it!

-So happy to be back.

-Good job, Oona.

-High-five.

-Oh.

-Oh.

-So that's how that broke.
