The Case of the House that Became a Street

**The Case of the House that Became a Street** is the fifth episode of Season 2 of Fishtronaut and the fifty-seventh episode of the series.

## Summary

The episode opens with Fishtronaut, Marina, and Zeek doing a distance race in which Marina tells Zeek that she won last time. After Fishtronaut suggests of doing a longer distance, Zeek is curious to know if the trio should do a long distance from the area they are standing on to a walking tortoise. Marina then asks the tortoise to know where she is going. The tortoise then asks her that she's going to visit her cousin on the other side of the park. After Fishtronaut thinks about a long distance again, the trio suggests her if she would like to have a ride. The tortoise says that she doesn't need a ride from Fishtronaut, since she says that she isn't interested on going on plane transportation that much. As soon as the tortoise leaves, the trio decides to go to the other side where Marina was pointing at. As soon as Zeek stops, an elephant sprays water at him to refresh himself. Behind him and Marina are the tortoise and her cousin having a picnic. Marina is curious to know how the tortoise arrived to the picnic spot with her cousin very fast. All of a sudden, a P.O.P. arrives towards the trio.

**P.O.P. Clues:** a see-through raincoat and a mining helmet with a broken light

Receiving the clues, Fishtronaut thought of the raincoat that is linked with the heavy rains that occurred last week. Marina makes a suggestion to Fishtronaut and Zeek by deciding to talk to animals that live in burrows. While looking for underground animals, Fishtronaut uses his gadget the Hole-o-Meter to search for underground animals. After seeing the burrow on the screen on his Hole-o-Meter, a mole pops out of his burrow and the mole isn't happy that the Hole-o-Meter started bothering him. The trio didn't mean to bother the mole and Marina asks if the mole is satisfied with his home. The mole isn't satisfied after seeing the giant eye on the Hole-o-Meter; it all started when he was sharing his burrow with a flock of bats for the whole night and awoken by the giant eye on the Hole-o-Meter. The mole then goes back to his burrow to get some rest. Marina is curious why do bats want to share the burrow with a mole. Fishtronaut thought of one of the clues that have to do with cave animals instead of underground animals. Marina thought of the mining helmet clue linked to the cave animals. The trio then decides to approach the cave.

Approaching the cave, we see animals entering the cave and confuse it for a tourist attraction. Fishtronaut suggests Marina and Zeek to investigate the inside of the cave while Fishtronaut decides to investigate on the other side of the mountain. Inside, Marina and Zeek see animals who thought it was a whale that turned into a cave. The rabbit (who is pretending to be a tour guide) confuses the stalactites for the whale's great big pointy teeth that have become fossilized and the inside of the cave is confused to be a whale's mouth. Upon meeting the rabbit, Marina then tells him that his explanation to the animals is wrong (the pointy things hanging on the cave are stalactites, large structures that formed for many years and are made out of calcium from rocks and water). The rabbit then confuses the pool for the giant's spit, in which Marina corrects them that it is a natural pool of pure and refreshing water.

Meanwhile, Fishtronaut sees two bats whose cave was bothered by a crowd of animals and the bats can't stand the talking inside their home. Inside again, the rabbit then sees a sleeping bear who confuses him for a visitor. The bear is disturbed by the rabbit and tells him that the cave is his home and the bear is trying to hibernate. The rabbit and the bear get into an argument as the bear says that the cave is his home and the rabbit confuses the cave for a tourist attraction (in which the other side of the cave is confused for a tunnel). To stop the argument, Fishtronaut tells the rabbit that the heavy rains opened up a hole on the other side of the cave (confused for a tunnel) and Fishtronaut says that the cave is actually the home for the bear and the bats. Marina then explains to the giraffe that there are lots of other animals that need the darkness and peaceful rest inside the cave. Marina found out that the cave of disturbance is linked to the broken light on the mining helmet clue (the raincoat clue also led Fishtronaut to the landslide caused by the heavy rain). The trio decides to return the cavern to its normal state (the same trails leading to the cavern that already exist).

Fishtronaut then blocks the other side of the entrance by placing the rocks to block the other side of the cave as the rabbit says that his tour confusion could cause problems in the cave. Zeek is then curious if another rain could cause a landslide; Fishtronaut agrees with his saying and the trio must find something to protect the rocks from falling. All of a sudden, another P.O.P. arrives towards the trio.

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

Receiving the rewards, Marina explains to Zeek that the heavy rain washed away all the trees by the other side of the cave. Fishtronaut then explains that the more tree and plants placed near the cave, the ground can become stronger to protect the cave from the rains. Meanwhile, the bats and the bear are enjoying a peaceful rest inside the cave.

## Musical Interlude Lyrics

**Singer:** *Let's all run, let's have a race. Let's go, let's race, let's run by the lake down in the meadow.*

*Let's go, let's race, let's outrun every friend. Let's race, let's run. Who will get in the end?*
*(song ends when Zeek feels tired)*

## Trivia

* When Zeek wears the see-through raincoat clue, he says "It must be a cloak of invisibility". The line he says is a reference to the invisible cloak, a magical garment from the *Harry Potter* franchise.
