Out Of Order

"Oh, sorry."

**Out Of Order** is the 12th episode of Season 1. It originally aired on October 31, 2006.

## Summary

Spooky Spoon makes sure things are well out of order - until 5 sorts her out.

## Plot

Five is in the gym, preparing One, Two, and an impatient Three for a game of skittles, using their Buddy Blocks. One misses due to rolling the ball in the wrong direction, and Two misses because his Buddy Blocks won't stay still (Five describes them as "unready"), then Three's Buddy Blocks do the same, causing Three to warn them, and then the alarm goes off.

Agent 47 calls in, reporting a boy who can't blow bubbles. It turns out that he can't blow them due to a lack of bubble blowing mixture. Five is launched (with Jasper the cat watching) and lands on a door. Six asks what the problem is and the agents reply that the boy is blowing first and dipping his wand in the solution second, when it should be the other way round.

Agent 88 calls in, and she reports more trouble next door— a man is trying to put his shoes on after tying them and his daughter is spitting, brushing her teeth, and then putting the toothpaste on. Three asks what is causing the trouble, and Five sees Spooky Spoon, immediately suspecting her as the guilty party.

Spooky Spoon, after teasing Five, admits she was the one who switched the order around but refuses to stop. She gets the man's shoes on, but then makes him put his socks on afterwards, and put his underpants on over his jeans.

Five imagines a boy watching TV before turning it on, another boy getting into the bath before stripping, and a girl falling asleep before she has the chance to get into bed.

She then walks off and observes a little boy playing soccer, and acting unusually happy. Five wonders what the boy is happy about, and the agents suggest that maybe Spooky Spoon's gotten to him and he's celebrating a goal he hasn't scored yet.

Then, a man's thumb appears to hurt, and then he hits himself with a hammer but experiences no pain. One and Two go into the control room, and then Six asks how to put things back in order. The agents suggest finding two things which are definitely in order, and Four realises that One, Two, and Three come in order.

One, Two, and Three make some brain gain, which puts things in order, and Five prevents the hammer guy from hitting his thumb by saying, "Careful!". Now, time to deal with Spooky Spoon.

The agents suggest sending her off by using the phrase "on your marks, get set, go", which fits with the theme of three things in order. This works, and Spooky Spoon is sent flying.

Five comes back, they recap the mission, they play skittles again (this time with Three succeeding) and Five asks the viewers what things they can do in order with three steps.
