Plot[]
Olive and Otto are on a case where a woman has two left feet. Olive zaps her right shoe and turns it into a left shoe so it fits. Back at headquarters, Ms. O shows them her new plant, which immediately sprays her with pink dust. Dr. O says it’s safe, but just in case, she’ll take the plant to the medical bay. When the agents leave Ms. O's office, Dr. O calls them to her office and says it’s actually incredibly dangerous, when that plant sprays someone, seriously weird things start happening to their body, and if the victim panics, they turn more odd even faster. She also informs them that they have one hour to cure Ms. O or Ms. O will stay weird forever.
Ms. O already has an enormous ear. Dr. O explains that the antidote requires four ingredients, starting with a quart of unicorn tears, which she has with her. Next, she needs a quart of Loganberry juice. As the agents go to leave, they see that Ms. O has a red unibrow.
Olive and Otto arrive at the Loganberry tree, but just before they can start collecting Berries, they meet Logan the Ogre, the protector of the Loganberry Tree. He roars at them and scares them, and asks what brings them to the tree, and when Olive says they need the Berries to make juice, Logan relaxes and turns out to be very nice. Otto mashes the Loganberries into juice with his feet, and they return to headquarters. Ms. O now has a tail. Dr. O tells them they need a quart of Baby Genius’s giraffe milk.
They entertain Baby Genius in exchange for 4 cups of giraffe’s milk. They come back to headquarters, where Dr. O has hidden all the mirrors so Ms. O can’t see herself. Then Dr. O adds a quart of water. Ms. O arrives with wings, but Dr. O pours the antidote on her and cures her. And that’s when the plant sprays Otto. He asks whether they should go back to the ogre.
Trivia[]
- The puffer plant in the video is similar to the one in the training video. However, in the training video, after 60 seconds, a person goes back to normal, but then turns into a chicken.
