The Case of the Missing Tooth

**The Case of the Missing Tooth** is the fourteenth episode of Season 2 of Fishtronaut and the sixty-sixth episode of the series.

## Summary

The episode opens with a bowerbird picking up a blue pebble, in which he is unable to, since he thinks the pebble isn't great for his bower (the home of a bowerbird). He suddenly sees Fishtronaut and Marina at the top of the tree in which Marina is eating plums and dropping seeds from the plums. However, Marina's loose tooth fell out when eating the plums. The bowerbird then picks up Marina's loose tooth and tries to bring it to bower. Marina then tells Zeek that she needs this tooth so she can put it under her bed so the Tooth Fairy can pick it up and bring her a present. All of a sudden, a P.O.P. arrives towards the trio.

**P.O.P. Clues:** a cane and a nutcracker

Receiving the clues, Fishtronaut says that the clues are difficult to figure out and decides to talk to Happy Plumb for help while Marina tells Zeek to stay on land and find her missing tooth. Marina and Fishtronaut arrive to Happy Plumb who is doing relaxing Tai Chi Chuan movements. Fishtronaut shows him the clues from the P.O.P in which he answers the two with his riddle: "The more the time passes, the more difficult eating becomes." Marina tells Fishtronaut to find an elderly animal who cannot eat. Zeek then encounters a squirrel who says that they never lose their teeth and their teeth never stop growing; squirrels must also grind their teeth all the time when they keep growing by grinding their teeth on a nut. The squirrel doesn't need any help and hands him a walnut for him to eat.

Zeek accidentally breaks the nutcracker while trying to open the walnut in which Fishtronaut repairs it and Marina thought this clue has something to do with animals with weak teeth. The trio meets an alligator that lost a tooth and is thought to be the one with weak teeth. The alligator says that his another tooth will grow in his jaws, since alligators change teeth many times, which is different from humans who change teeth once. The alligator says that his teeth are not always clean, thanks to his plover friend cleaning his teeth as Marina says that brushing teeth is important. Marina found out that this clue has something to do with human teeth and to make sure Dr. Green has no teeth problems. He says that he did not lose a tooth, since he always takes care of them and he decides to find out what animal it could be. He then explains that many animals change their teeth at certain times, like elephants change their tusks only once like human teeth, and their tusks get weaker over time. The trio them decides to help an elderly elephant.

Upon meeting the elephant, he says that his tusks have been better and the grass is too tough for him to pick up since he notices a tree blocking the water getting through so Fishtronaut then decides to get move it out of its way and the elephant must wait for the grass to become juicy again. Meanwhile, the bowerbird has Marina's tooth and the grass near the elephant's spot has grown and is happy that he can start eating the grass. Zeek thought that a tooth fairy can trade an elephant's tooth can be traded for lots of presents, but Marina says that some bad people (mainly hunters) like to take tusks to sell to make jewelry to make other valuable things, which is harming wildlife. All of a sudden, another P.O.P. arrives towards the trio.

**P.O.P. Rewards:** a picture to show where Marina's tooth is at

Receiving the reward, Marina found out that her tooth is taken by the bowerbird using it as a decoration in his bower. Marina explains that bowerbirds like to decorate their bowers by finding things lying around and the trio decides to find her missing tooth and the bowerbird is happy that he saw blue decorations in which the tooth was traded for the decorations on his bower. Marina then puts the tooth in which she asks the Tooth Fairy for the present for the animals and the trees in the park to be protected.
