Plot[]
Part One[]
Olive and Otto are on a case where a bunch of adults are working on a show called the Bizarre Brigade because Sheila doesn't have a head. They use a head-put-back-inator to restore her head and Sheila thanks him and they start working on the TV show as the agents head back.
Back at headquarters, Ms. O informs Olive and Otto that Mr. O (Orville), who was her former rival and now friend, is retiring after 2,000 years of dedicated service, and someone needs to replace him. Oscar zaps Olive with a Ms-O-inator, which indicates that Olive is now running her own Odd Squad, which she gladly accepts. Oscar escorts Olive outside Ms. O's office to his lab for her training and Otto is assigned a new partner named Agent Ohlm. Otto has a hard time pronouncing his name. Ms. O discusses an odd case where a spider-cat is shooting people and trapping them on a web and it's following a pattern. Otto tries to talk to Ms. O about the new partner situation and convince her that it's not working out, but she refuses to listen and orders him to go.
Otto and Ohlm head to the tube lobby and ride into separate tubes where O'Malley refuses to send Ohlm because the latter failed the tube test twice and is unable to go. Meanwhile, Oscar is still training Olive to be a Ms. O. She picks her signature drink which is dirt with water. Back in the tube lobby, Ohlm is riding with Otto in the same tube attached together and O'Malley squishinates them. They arrive at Polly Graph's lemonade stand and they detach themselves and they find Polly trapped in a web by a spider-cat. Polly Graph happens to have graphs to help catch the spider-cat. It hit 10 Main Street and 20 Main Street. They split up and knock on doors to check if the spider-cat has struck their place.
Meanwhile, Otto gets an unexpected delivery box from someone and Todd is in the delivery box because he couldn't email himself due to his computer lacking storage. Todd tells Otto that he is trying to help Otto get Olive back because she is about to become a Ms. O where once she starts running an office of her own, she will be moving on from Otto. He convinces Otto to cause an extremely odd problem in such a way that Ms. O will be forced to keep Olive and help her solve it. Otto refuses to join, but Todd convinces him that he will want to join and leaves.
Meanwhile, back at headquarters, Oscar and Ms. O are training Olive to tell the agents that something very odd has happened and accidentally presses the button which sounds the alarm. Otto thinks of a flashback of some of the great memories that he had with Olive. After that, they look at the data and find out that the spider cat also hit 5 Main Street and 15 Main Street and the spider cat is heading to 25 Main Street, which is Coach Roberts' house.
Meanwhile, Coach Roberts is testing out whistle when he sees a spider-cat. Luckily, Otto comes in and stops it in time and saves Coach Roberts. He thanks Otto and gives him tickets to tonight's basketball game, which he accepts despite the fact that he doesn't like sports. He attends the basketball game and while watching the game, he expects Olive who hasn't come yet. Midway during the basketball game, he leaves to go back to headquarters and runs into Odd Todd.
Part Two[]
Otto is in Todd's evil lair and Todd is still convincing Otto to cause some oddness so that Otto gets his partner back. They bounce on a ball and Todd is making odd noises making it difficult for Otto to come up with ideas. Eventually, he comes up with an idea to open doors with robot princesses behind them. However, the only way to unlock the robot princess doors is with Owen's tablet which is always locked up. Todd sends Otto to grab Owen's tablet while wearing special sunglasses so that no one notices.
Otto heads directly to Owen's area and finds Owen still sitting in his area. Todd tells Otto that he knows exactly when Owen goes on break and then three seconds later, Owen announces his break and leaves. Otto heads to the wall and finds out that the tablet is locked with a pattern. Todd tells him to look at the pattern correctly. Otto looks at the pattern thinking that the pattern is blue, red, green, yellow, blue, red, green, yellow, and then proceeds to put a blue star and an alarm goes off on the wall indicating it's wrong. He then comes to the realization that there are two more reds after the second yellow and then the pattern repeats. He puts two red stars and unlocks the wall and grabs the tablet.
He returns to Todd with the tablet, with another problem, which is indeed a pattern lock, with only boxes. Todd tells him it's a growing pattern, where the first row has two boxes, while the second row has four boxes, and the third row has six boxes, so the next row would have eight boxes. Otto draws eight boxes and eventually unlocks the doors to release the oddness, starting with the robot princesses. However, he realizes that is not enough oddness and proceeds to release much more oddness. Todd gets scared and tells Otto to stop but Otto tells Todd that he is Odd Todd and he loves oddness. However, he tells Otto that the oddness is going too far because he is going to destroy the world and he has other interests such as gardening. He tells Otto to keep the Odd while he keeps the Todd himself and flees.
Olive, Oscar, and Ms. O congratulate him for his work and restore themselves as well as everyone else. Ohlm comes in and finds out that Otto was working with Odd Todd. However, Otto explains that he wasn't working for Odd Todd. The truth was that Olive came late to the basketball game and Oscar invented some gadgets to turn themselves into creatures. The real purpose was to get rid of Odd Todd but Oscar was actually the one who saved the day by moving the creatures so that he could open all the doors in the hallways. However, they hear a loud noise and head to the main headquarters and they fight all of the creatures.
After fighting all the creatures, Otto reminds Olive that she's going to miss her first day. Olive tells Otto that she is not taking the job unless she comes with him and leads him to the tube lobby where Oscar turns Otto into a Mr. O. Otto is initially excited and gladly accepts the job but he is going to miss them because they cared for him so much. Oscar reminds Otto that they are going to see him next Saturday at his birthday party. Ms. O also reveals that Ohlm was re-partnered with Orchid. Olive and Otto give Ms. O a hug and then leave to run their own headquarters. Oscar squishinates them and sends them to their respective headquarters. Oscar then remarks that Otto and Olive were the best agents they had. Ms. O tells them that she has two new agents that are up for the job.
The video ends with two new agents landing at headquarters and Ms. O telling them that something very odd has happened.
