The Case of the Strange Smell

**The Case of the Strange Smell** is the sixth episode of Season 1 of Fishtronaut and the sixth episode of the series.

## Summary

One day in the park, Fishtronaut, Marina, and Zeek are playing with a frisbee, but all of a sudden, the agents are disgusted by a smelly scent, event the park residents. Later on, a P.O.P. is summoned to help the agents.

**P.O.P. Clues:** apple core and a pile of compost

After opening the P.O.P., the agents receive two pieces of garbage as Marina asks the viewer that the garbage is causing the strange smell. Zeek told Marina and Fishtronaut that they should be going to the apple orchard to look for the clues. Before they can continue, Fishtronaut noticed he's running out of water from his Bubblex suit. While refilling his gauge, Fishtronaut talks to Happy Plumb via Web Clam about the clues. Happy Plumb tells him, "It is not garbage, it should not be tossed away" and "The second clue may look like dirt, but it's not". After refilling his bubbles, Marina and Zeek have looked around and found nothing and the strange smell must be coming from somewhere else. Talking to Fishtronaut on her watch, he asks him to check at the entrance of Smiling Trees Park to see if there is anything out of the ordinary.

Fishtronaut arrives towards the agents to look for the garbage. He hears several park visitors from a distance as Zeek slips over a banana peel. Fishtronaut picks it up to know who left this banana peel in the park and the banana peel is causing the strange smell in the park. The agents see lots of garbage scattered around the park. After finding the garbage, Fishtronaut has another clue that resembles dirt, but isn't dirt. Marina says that the second clue is actually a pile of compost. She explains to him that compost appears when some types of garbage turn into food for plants. A girl named Gloria walks up to Fishtronaut, Marina, and Zeek, who has never seen a fish out of water and a monkey assistant. She tells her that the pieces of garbage are very smelly and to tell her to clean up the mess.

Gloria thought Mother Nature would take care of itself, but Fishtronaut replies that we must help nature along, known as composting. Gloria brings her friends so everyone can clean up the mess so the strange smell won't happen again. Everyone splits into two teams to make two separate piles of garbage. The agents explain that compost is made from wet stuff in one pile and dry stuff in one pile, and the pile is added with water so the layers are added until the garbage is gone and the waste breaks done into compost, healthy fertilizers. She explains that composting is food for plants and trees.

Everyone started composting to clean the park and finished building some compost piles. Gloria offers the agents to come to the closing ceremony and the agents agree to come to their ceremony. Marina is impressed that the park is clean to have compost for the plants and trees. The visitors are honoured environmental badges for helping clean up the park. Another P.O.P. arrives after the agents gave them the badges.

**P.O.P. Rewards:** three environmental badges

Fishtronaut, Marina, and Zeek are awarded more badges for their victory. Fishtronaut, Marina, and Zeek play frisbee again to smell know if there is anything strange. The agents say that they didn't smell anything strange, because the park is clean.
