## Puffin Patrol, Iceland

### Director

*Unknown*

**Puffin Patrol, Iceland** is 49th episode of Series 3 and the 152nd episode of Go Jetters.

## Synopsis

*The team gets a surprise when they join Iceland’s Puffin Patrol: for once, they are not the experts! Can Lars take advice from a Grandmaster, or will he be the one to glitch things?*

*The Go Jetters are going to Westman Islands, Iceland, where the world’s largest colony of Atlantic puffins gathers every year. Lars loves these tough little birds and explains how, although they spend most of their lives flying out to sea and fishing, they return to land each year to lay their eggs. When the baby birds, also called pufflings, eventually hatch, they fly out towards the ocean. But the light from nearby towns often confuses them about where to go, leading local children and adults to form 'puffin patrols' to rescue the pufflings.*

*Lars is excited to help out but is upset when he discovers Glitch, also a fan of puffins, is already well-known on the islands for his skills as a puffin rescuer. Although Glitch offers him a place in his puffin patrol, Lars is determined to outdo Glitch with a patrol of his own - but when he recruits a clumsy Grimbot, things take a turn for the worse...*

## Plot

JetPad is soaring through a clear blue sky, to it's next destination. Aboard the ship, Lars excitedly peers out of the window, asking Ubercorn if they've arrived at their next destination yet. Ubercorn laughs, telling him that they've not arrived yet, but it won't be much longer until they do. Xuli, Kyan and Foz jump into frame, asking Lars why he's so excited for their next mission, to which he responds that the team is off to help his favourite bird in the whole world- puffins! Ubercorn invites Lars to join in with him, on sharing a set of funky facts with his teammates, giving him a fist-bump, before they dive into the facts. Ubercorn and Lars explain that baby puffins get lost easily during their first flight, which is why children form puffin patrols, in order to help them find their way. Lars also shares why puffins are his favorite bird: they fly, they swim, and they're great engineers. The other Go Jetters are excited to hear they will be helping to rescue the baby puffins, or, pufflings, and Lars announces to them that he will be leading his very own puffin patrol. Since the pufflings are hard to find, he reveals that he has built a new gadget for them to use to find them. Before he can reveal it, JetPad announces that they have arrived at their destination, of Westman Island, in Iceland.

The Go Jetters fly out of JetPad in the Vroomster, admiring all of the puffins perched on the island with wonder, Kyan and Foz even mimicking their calls, to make the others laugh. Xuli lands the Vroomster, and Lars hops out first, the others following behind, all hoping to get a closer look at the puffins. Lars claims that the adult birds are very friendly, but they all seem to ignore him. Lars is confused, until he hears a familiar voice. None other than Grandmaster Glitch has arrived in Iceland, and the puffins all seem to love him, gathering around in groups to see him! Lars asks him what he's doing there, to which he responds that he comes every year since he joined the Go Jet Academy, which shocks the whole team. He proceeds to explain that he sees the puffins and himself as very alike, great fliers, brilliant engineers... handsome. A group of children soon arrive, who turn out to be Glitch's very own puffin patrol! He asks them if they're ready to search for pufflings, to which they all excitedly cheer. Lars is shocked by this, refusing to believe that Glitch has his own puffin patrol. Foz tells Lars not to fret, as he and the other Go Jetters will be joining his puffin patrol to help him. Before he leaves, Glitch tries shares some advice with the Go Jetters on finding and catching pufflings, but Lars brushes him off, claiming they can find pufflings using his new invention- a Puffin Detector! Lars powers the device up, and walks off, with the others following behind. Kyan gives Glitch a last shrug of confusion, before the Go Jetters all leave. Glitch brushes it off, turning his attention to his puffin patrol, telling them how the Go Jetters have no idea what they're doing, before leading them off in hopes to find pufflings of their own.

Late into the night, both puffin patrols are deep into their searches for the baby pufflings. While Glitch's team are searching slowly, quietly and carefully, the Go Jetters are much more reckless in their search, being quick and loud with their search. Foz attempts to use the sound of the puffins' call to attract the pufflings to him, while Lars relies on his Puffin Detector. Their search efforts are no good, leading them to missing pufflings in plain sight, which Glitch's puffin patrol scoop up to add to their boxes filled with pufflings. Lars is confused and upset by this, and he wonders out loud how Glitch has found so many already- after all, they don't have a puffin detector! Lars' Puffin Detector begins to beep, which excites him, as that means one thing; a puffling is nearby! He excitedly wanders off, as the beeping of his invention gets louder. But when he thinks he's found one, he's proven wrong, as all that's there is a little Grimbot, who's sifting through garbage!

Lars is annoyed by this finding, but quickly invites the Grimbot to instead join his puffin patrol, to which it excitedly agrees. At that moment, Lars and the Grimbot watch as Grandmaster Glitch finds yet another puffling, making Lars even more upset, as he claims that he should be doing better, since he's a Go Jetter ! Lars' puffin detector goes off again, sending Lars in search for the nearby puffling, the Grimbot following close behind his trail. As they get closer, Lars deducts that his invention is Glitching. Despite this, he's sure that there's a puffling nearby, and that he's going to find it one way or another. He throws the Puffin Detector to the side, which the Grimbot catches, before calling and searching for the puffling. Lars notes that it's too dark for him to see anything, to which the Grimbot pulls a lantern from his head. Lars agrees to it, requesting only a little bit of light, as he doesn't want to confuse the puffling. The Grimbot turns on the light, and Lars continues to search, asking for more and more light as he gets more frustrated, eventually hurting his foot. Lars insists that he cannot let Glitch beat him, as he searches the area, and the Grimbot turns the lights up more, using a large array of lamps and lanterns to light up the area, making it almost blinding. This is so extreme, that even Grandmaster Glitch's pufflings all fly out and away from his puffin patrol, which upsets all of the children.

Lars doesn't seem to care, however, as he's finally found a puffling of his own! As he begins to celebrate, Glitch runs towards him, and begins to reprimand him for his actions. However, Lars just shows off the puffling to Glitch, smiling. This doesn't last, as Ubercorn calls the Go Jetters in a panic, telling them that all the light is bringing more puffins inland. Lars' delight is gone, and he drops the one puffling he's found in horror, realizing that he's glitched the puffin patrols! He calls for the Grimbot to turn of the lights, but it's too late, as the puffins are all missing and in a frenzy. Lars begins to fret, apologizing to everyone for his actions. The other Go Jetters and Glitch's puffin patrol all join them, with the Go Jetters insisting that things will be fine if they use Click-Ons to find the pufflings. Glitch calls for them not to do this, and even Ubercorn doubts that their plan is a good idea, but sends Xuli, Kyan and Foz each a pair of G.O Boots anyways.

The three Go Jetters shoot off into the sky, putting their G.O Boots into full power, making the flames powering them burn bright, which startles the pufflings. The Go Jetters attempt to try and direct the puffins out to sea using their lights, while Glitch tells Lars that everything is going to disaster. Lars asks if he's sure, to which Glitch responds that sometimes, even he knows what he's doing. Watching his teammates squander about, Lars worriedly looks around, seeing the panicking pufflings and the upset children. Lars gives Glitch an apology, before yelling for the other Go Jetters to stop, and that they should try listening to Grandmaster Glitch instead. They question this, with Lars reiterating the statement. The Go Jetters land back on the ground, disabling their Click-Ons, before asking Glitch what they should do. Glitch tells them that they'll have to wait it out, and let all the puffins land before they begin to search again. The Go Jetters take note, excited to finally be apart of a real puffin patrol hunt. The Grimbot offers Lars his Puffin Detector again, to which he denies, claiming he's ready to do this Glitch's way. The Go Jetters, Glitch, and the members of the puffin patrol travel across the island, safely gathering up all of the pufflings quietly and safely, placing them into boxes again. Lars and Glitch share a small fist pump, and Lars announces that Glitch's puffin patrol is a success, to which the puffling he is holding beakbutts Glitch's fist.

The sun slowly rises on Iceland again, and the puffin patrol, Glitch, and the Go Jetters walk the boxes of pufflings to the sea, where they release them. Ubercorn, who has now joined them, congratulates everyone on a job well done. Everybody waves goodbye, as Glitch instructs them on releasing the birds. The birds fly into the horizon, as Glitch tells them that he'll be back again next year. Lars places a hand on his shoulder, telling him that they'll all be coming back next year to help, if that's okay with him, to which he agrees, as long as they promise to be slow, careful and quiet! Xuli pulls out her G.O Cam, and calls for everyone to join in on a souvenir selfie. The Go Jetters, Ubercorn, Grandmaster Glitch and the children all gather around, and smile and pose for the photo. Ubercorn announces that the mission was a success, as a group of pufflings and puffins fly into the sky, away from the island.
