The Oval Case

**The Oval Case** is the nineteenth episode of Season 2 of Fishtronaut and the seventy-first episode of the series.

## Summary

On a rainy night in the park, the episode opens with an egg rolling down the hill. The next day, Billy and Mac are using their pogo sticks in which they jumped on a fragile object hiding on a bush. The twins are worried that they broke a fragile object and juice started coming out of the hiding object (confused to be an egg). At Cicada Beach, Fishtronaut tells Marina to know what story she would read for him and Zeek in which she tells them that she hasn't read some of the stories she never read yet. All of a sudden, a P.O.P. arrives towards the trio.

**P.O.P. Clues:** a mobile and a necklace

Receiving the clues, the trio decides to tell a long-necked animal if he/she lost a baby. The trio encounters a pelican, an ostrich, a giraffe, a llama, and a flamingo, in which none of them have lost their babies. Marina is curious that what other animal in the park has a long neck. Zeek then throws a necklace at a mother swan who is worried that her baby is lost. Fishtronaut tells the swan to know what happened to her baby. The swan then tells the trio that she was counting her eggs that she laid and she doesn't know what happened to one of her eggs, since one of them disappeared. The trio then decides to find the swan's missing baby while the mother swan decides to find her baby.

As the trio decides to find and talk to the great cricket, Billy and Mac are worried that they did something bad last night. Suddenly, a mother duck is worried that one of her babies she has is different and Billy and Mac thought they broke her egg. The twins then meet the trio in which they crushed a fragile object last night confused to be an egg. The trio and the twins arrive to the spot where the twins crushed the fragile object hiding inside the leaves. As Fishtronaut looks inside, he sees a coconut that was crushed by one of the twins on their pogo sticks (which is actually a false alarm). Marina and the twins thought the fragile coconut was the swan or the duck's egg. Marina is then curious that the mobile clue has something to do with a mother animal in trouble (Fishtronaut says that not only one mother has problems, but *two* mothers have problems and the mothers who have problems are the mother swan and the mother duck).

The trio and the twins talk to the mother duck who says that what happened to her babies is not normal. Upon revealing her children, the mother duck shows a cygnet who is different from the other ducklings, which is not normal for the mother duck. Marina started thinking of the cygnet and the ducklings together as an inspiration of the story of "The Ugly Duckling". Marina then tells the story of "The Ugly Duckling" to Fishtronaut, Zeek, and the twins. After telling the story, Zeek is curious how the cygnet ended up in the mother duck's nest. Fishtronaut revealed the flashback of what happened last night: the rain caused a mudslide and the mudslide caused the mother swan's egg to end up in the mother duck's nest. The trio and twins decide to reunite the cygnet to her mother. Having reunited the cygnet to the mother swan, she is happy for reuniting one of her babies to the her. All of a sudden, another P.O.P. arrives towards the trio and the twins.

**P.O.P. Rewards:** pillows

Receiving the rewards, the twins and the trio have an idea with the pillows: use them for jumping without breaking a fragile object.
