Synopsis
We start with Coop trying out a new invention he made, the Extend O Scope, which can see over tall things. Little Boo is a bit surprised and annoyed by this. They and Sweetie are excited to squad training to helping others, with Coop and Sweetie showing the most excitement. We then see that it's raining, with Captain Tully saying that there won't be any training today. It's a good set up so far, with Coop being a bit of a lovable nerd who thinks a lot yet isn't too intrusive, Little Boo not being afraid to show attitude yet isn't mean, Sweetie being the most willing to help others, and Captain Tully having both authority and care since she never comes in too hard.
As Captain Tully heads out to do some errands, everyone hears a puppy named Scout calling out for help from a small island and they go to help him. Sweetie thinks they should call Captain Tully, but there's no time to call her, and they go off on their own. This may seem foolish, but they go out since it stopped raining. At least in this moment, there is definitely some real thought in wanting to do their jobs without any danger around. Coop brings a rope, a life jacket, an ice box, and a spatula. Those are strange items, but there's potential for practical application. He clearly has an idea for an invention. We then see that Scout is trapped on a small island surrounded by water when he was trying to get his stick due to the rain. Well, talk about a conundrum.
We then cut to the island, with Scout being hungry and cold (since it's windy). It's here where we get a clash. Coop thinks about using the tools he brought to make a boat and row over to Scout. Fitting how he's an inventor, it makes sense. Sweetie thinks that she can use a log and rope and have Scout walk over. Given how strength, it makes sense she would think this. Little Boo wants to use a life jacket and rope to pull Scout to safety. He even considers using a helicopter at one point. He is one of those "act first, think later" people, so it makes sense. However, these all fail. Coop gets blown away when trying to row over. The same goes for Little Boo when trying to bring over the life jacket. The log that Sweetie got isn't big enough. Yeah that's a big mess.
We then have Captain Tully walking up to them since she was looking for them. That's pretty nice of her. She then tells them to work together in order to rescue Scout. It's not surprising, but it fits the episode. The way they rescue him is pretty good. Sweetie stats on the log while she holds the rope that's tied to the boat. Both Coop and Little Boo rescue Scout while the latter gives him the life jacket. Even when he slips, he's able to get him. That's pretty cool. He's safe on land and Captain Tully congratulates them. That's pretty cool.
