The Case of the Extreme Speed

**The Case of the Extreme Speed** is the fifteenth episode of Season 2 of Fishtronaut and the sixty-seventh episode of the series.

## Summary

The episode opens with Billy and Mac telling the tortoises to move away since he tells them that "race tracks are no place for pedestrians". Meanwhile, Zeek starts playing with Marina and Fishtronaut, who is disappointed with the two for not saying "Go" before starting. Meanwhile, the twins start building a bridge to prevent the turtles from crossing the path where Billy and Mac are doing a racing competition. However, they didn't notice that the rocks they placed to protect the bridge are blocking the path of the lake dwellers. Meanwhile, the twins try to build a race track without noticing some bugs in trouble and scaring a sleeping baby tapir in their path as the twins tell made a plan to avoid scaring the park animals by putting warning signs and some with arrows (similar to those found in the big city). Upon putting the signs in the park, the twins decide to continue racing. Back to Fishtronaut and Marina telling Zeek to relax about the tagging game, a P.O.P. arrives towards the trio.

**P.O.P. Clues:** a speedometer and a big knot of confusion

Receiving the clues, Marina thought the speedometer clue has something to do with a fast animal in trouble. The trio then encounters a cheetah to know if everything is all right with him. The cheetah says that he never saw any problems, since the cheetah is a fast animal and it's very hard for the cheetah to pay attention to speakers talking to him when running. The cheetah then tells the trio that he must finish his run. Fishtronaut is curious that the speedometer has nothing to do with the park's fastest animal, but is the opposite of fast (the slowest animal, such as the tortoise). The trio then encounters two wandering tortoises who have been walking around the same path like other tortoises do and saw arrows on several signs that confused them and the signs have made them difficult for them to find their way back home. Fishtronaut then gives the two tortoises a ride back to their homes.

Fishtronaut tells Marina and Zeek that he saw something strange happening in the park: tortoises seeing the arrows on the signs; Fishtronaut then decides to ask Happy Plumb what the clues are for. Meanwhile, kangaroos, rabbits, squirrels, and other animals are confused upon seeing the signs. Upon meeting Happy Plumb, Fishtronaut tells him to know what type of knot came from the P.O.P.. Happy Plumb gives him his riddle: "If carefully, you look to the center of the knot. In reality, you will see it is a knot of confusion." Fishtronaut then thought the knot of confusion is linked to the animals confused with the signs. Fishtronaut then tells Marina that the knot is a knot of confusion in which she and Zeek are at Cicada Beach. Upon meeting the two, Marina then says that the knot reminds her of the same rope at the Tree House. At the Tree House, the trio sees signs that were created by Billy and Mac who put the signs that caused animals to be confused. Meanwhile, the trio hears several animals that are confused with each other, because of the arrows on the signs, in which the signs are linked to the knot clue. Marina explains that the knot is about the confusion caused by the signs and the speedometer is about those with fast speed.

The twins arrive towards to the trio who tell them that the signs have a resemblance to those in the city, but with images of animals instead. Marina is unhappy with the twins for putting the signs to the animals in the park and the animals are confused by seeing the arrows on the signs (this plan caused a big mess in the park, which is related to the knot of confusion). The twins were trying to make the park have the same signs like the city has. Marina says that in the city, traffic must be organized (cars must respect red lights to stop at pedestrian crossing and there are tons of rules to make this plan work). Zeek says that the park has a natural order, so there is no need for signs in the park. The gang then decides to undo this problem by removing the bridge blocking the path for the lake fish, removing the signs that confused the animals, making a safer path for insects to cross and reuniting animals with each other. Having the gang to undo this problem, Marina is surprised that almost everything is cleaned up. The gang noticed that there was a mess on the spot where the plant life was supposed to be. All of a sudden, another P.O.P. arrives towards the gang.

**P.O.P. Rewards:** plant seedlings

Receiving the rewards, the trio decides to plant the seedlings to bring back the plant life on the area where they were supposed to be.

## Musical Interlude Lyrics

*We're animals in the park in harmony with nature. And we'll never be apart; every day is an adventure*

*We'll never be apart, every day is an adventure*

## Errors

* One of the twins incorrectly called the sleeping baby tapir an "anteater". This could most likely be a translation error. However, both: tapirs and anteaters are native to South America.
