-Ahead of the times.

Odd Squad book of world records, here we come!

Agents, you have an incoming call from the Little O.

-No, no!

-There you four are...

wait, there's only three of you.

Omar is visiting the eye doctor.

Maybe you're eating too many carrots.

Anyway, how can we help? -Something very odd has happened.

The villain Puppy Master has been spotted

on Prince Edward Island, also known as PEI.

I'm sending you because PEI doesn't have an Odd Squad.

On the plus side, they do have a potato museum.

My friend Olaf talks about that museum all the time!

Apparently they have a potato made of solid gold.

Sadly you don't have time to visit.

My guess is Puppy Master plans to turn everyone into puppies.

That's kind of her thing.

Well, what are you waiting for, go!

No matter what oddness Puppy Master is up to,

we shall stop it. Actually, you guys don't stop it.

What do you mean we don't stop it?

Well, that's what it says in my

Ahead of the Times newspaper. -What?

-Well, a normal newspaper tells you what's already happened.

But the Ahead of the Times newspaper tells you what's going

to happen before it actually happens.

And I'm here to tell you that Puppy Master turns everyone into

puppies, including the three of you.

We're going to be puppies forever!

Excuse us a minute.

Puppy Master has not turned anyone into puppies yet,

which means we still have time to stop her.

Time!

How much time do we have before everyone is a puppy?

Wait, there's a clock in the background of this photo.

It could be a clue. What time does that say?

I do not use clocks. I prefer my sun dial.

It is waterproof. How have I never noticed that?

I'll show you how to tell time.

Clocks are numbered one to twelve, which represent the hours.

The little hand, or the hour hand, points to what hour it is.

In the newspaper, it's pointing to the six.

And the big hand, or the minute hand, tells us how much

of the hour has passed.

It starts at the top of the clock

on the 12, and moves around as the hour passes.

Because the minute hand is pointing to the 12,

we know it's the start of the hour.

So, the clock in this photo reads exactly six o'clock.

That means the Puppy Master will strike at six o'clock tonight!

Right around dinner time. There must be another clue.

Aha!

The Puppey Master's going to eat pancakes

at the pancake palace.

Pancakes are a breakfast food.

This photo must have been taken this morning,

which does not help us. That's too bad.

They serve a stack of nine pancakes, and each one is stuffed

with butter and maple syrup. Look!

It's a picture of the Puppy Master waiting

in line for PEI's Talent Bonanza.

And that starts now at four o'clock!

Case solved. Let us go stop her.

Wait.

Since you're going to catch the

Puppy Master, can I go check out the potato museum?

Sure. Yes!

Ah, sorry.

We're completely sold out.

I see plenty of empty seats inside.

I only sell eight tickets per show.

It's weird, but I can't let you in.

Unless you happen to be magicians.

The magician I hired was rehearsing her disappearing

act this afternoon, and I haven't seen her since.

-Well, you're in luck because we are magicians.

-Hm, I think you're making that up.

Well, then, how do you explain this coin behind

my assistant's ear.

Ouch.

You're on in five.

Hm... hm! Ohhh!

Oh...

Welcome to the world famous potato museum.

Some say potato, some say pot-ah-to, some say spud,

tater, tuber...

Sorry to interrupt, but where do you keep the golden potato?

Who told you about that? My friend Olaf.

Did anyone follow you here? No.

Come with me. Quickly.

-And now for my next trick...

Ta-da!

Very impressive!

Now we require a volunteer.

You!

Behold, a magic disappearing box.

Please step inside.

And now, we will all disappear.

-Wow, they're amazing.

We did it! We got her!

Uh!

She used the trapdoor to out magician the magicians!

Look, a note!

Nice try, Odd Squad.

I have an idea.

Let us see your magical newspaper again.

Well, sure.

Here is a photo of Puppy Master winning a high score

at the Prince Edward bowling alley.

And lo! A clock in the photo.

Sadly, that clock only has one hand.

It must be broken. It's not broken.

The hour hand is just hiding behind the minute hand.

They're pointing at the same spot. Here, watch this.

There are 60 minutes on a clock.

Each of these little tick marks represents one minute.

See?

One minute, two minutes, three minutes, four minutes,

five minutes...

Please tell me there is a shortcut.

Yes.

Every big number represents five minutes.

Ah, so we can use those to count by fives.

5, 10, 15, 20, 25.

Then we can count the individual minutes again.

26, 27. It is 27 minutes!

Correct, the clock reads 5:27.

But why is the hour hand halfway between the five and the six?

It's because it's on its way to the six.

So, if we can get to the bowling alley before 5:27, we can stop

the Puppy Master before she turns us into puppies at six o'clock.

Onward ho!

Before I show you the golden potato, I need you to sign this.

This is a waiver.

Looking at the golden potato comes with risks.

What kind of risks?

The golden potato will look deep into your soul and speak truths

no one has ever spoken to you.

If you are not ready to hear those truths,

I advise you to turn back.

Did Olaf not mention all this? Um, mainly he just said "potato".

But I'm a a hundred percent in.

You'll wanna put these on.

And now... the golden potato.

-I need you to look deep into my eyes.

Which ones? You have so many.

Sorry, can't let you in. Private birthday party.

-Actually, we're here for the birthday party.

-Mm-hmm.

What's the birthday boys name?

Uh, Theodore Smithsonville?

You do know Theodore! Come on in!

There she is!

The Odd Squad Mobile Unit came to my birthday?!

Will you play pin the tail on the unicorn with me?

I wish we could, but we are here on secret Odd Squad business.

I knew this party would be bad.

-Of course we're here for your party, Theodore!

Let's play!

-Hurray!

(Music)

-Happy Birthday to you!

Oh no! It's 5:27!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Only bolwing shoes past this point.

-You can't catch me, Odd Squad! Whoooa... Hahaha...

Oh no!

Ugh, we're gonna be puppies!

I know it sounds cute, but it isn't.

I shall call Oswald, so the three of us can have one last meal

together at the pancake palace. Uh, they only serve breakfast.

That is what I thought too, but look.

It says right here in the newspaper,

it has all day breakfast. And look!

There's a clock in this photo too!

Six o'clock.

But how do we know if this photo was taken at six o'clock this

morning or six o'clock tonight?

That's the tricky thing about this clock.

It has no way of telling you whether it's morning or night.

Six o'clock in the morning and six o'clock at night look

exactly the same. See?

But look.

Puppy Master's wearing bowling shoes.

Which means she went there after she won her bowling trophy.

It has to be six at night! Orla's right!

You didn't even hear what we were talking about.

The golden potato looked into my soul and told me.

Let's go!

Delicious!

Now, it's time to turn this town into puppies!

-Odd Squad, Odd Squad! Stop right there!

-Ha! You can't stop me!

Un-puppy-ray-anator!

Nooo!

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

See you around. -This calls for a celebration!

A stack of nine pancakes, each one stuffed with butter

and maple syrup.

Hmmm, I'd be careful with that pancake.

-Nah, worth it!
