* PlotHole: Considering Odd Squad's an organization made up of kids -- meaning most of the agents would have ages in the single digits -- agents under 10 could have tried to get the gadget back, and presumably be unaffected by the ray, as you can't swap a number with only one digit. And yet, this is never considered or attempted by any of those agents.

* AbsenceOfEvidence: Olive attempts to warn a few sharp-dressed business workers about Odd Todd's lemonade and its effect. Odd Todd asks her where her proof is, and Olive refers to a man with a lemon head like Otto's (who had been a customer of Odd Todd's when the partner pair confronted him earlier). The two kids tussle back and forth for a bit, with Odd Todd presenting a graph showing the side effects of people who drink his lemonade while telling Olive that even though there is a picture of a lemonhead under the "lemonhead" section of the graph, who's to say that that one person didn't walk through a lemonhead ray while drinking his lemonade? This manages to win over the business workers, to Olive's annoyance.

** While overall still being very nerve-wracked, Oscar becomes brave enough to beat Odd Todd in a battle and get the Flip-Flop-inator back, which is only amplified when he gets the upper hand. The nervousness is justified by the fact that Odd Todd is the biggest threat to Odd Squad, and any agent would become intimidated of him when facing off.

* {{Eyedscreen}}: Used for both Odd Todd and Oscar before they begin battling.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: Averted; Odd Todd taunts Polly by telling her not to be so ''sour'', doing his EvilLaugh as the camera cuts to her expression being exactly that.
* FriendshipMoment: [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Olive]] gives a hug to [[TheSoCalledCoward Oscar]] as thanks for facing down her old partner and getting back the Flip-Flop-inator so she can be 12 again. It truly is one of the more [[invoked]] [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments heartwarming moments]] of the show, especially considering how terrified Oscar appeared to be when confronting Odd Todd.

* ContinuityNod: A person working at a restaurant having multiple clones of themselves? [[Recap/OddSquadS1E2SoundcheckDoubleTrouble It's been done before.]]
** Another [[RedAlert code]] is introduced for the show: Code Crimson, which indicates an unauthorized adult in HQ.
* DancePartyEnding: The episode ends on the agents in Precinct 13579 attending a concert put on by a rock band, who sings [[IAmGreatSong "Oscar is Awesome"]].
* DidntSeeThatComing: Odd Todd is genuinely surprised that Oscar, of all people, would come to face him. However, this doesn't set him back, and he's more than willing to take on the scientist in battle.
* DotingGrandparent: Orchid has an 81-year-old grandfather who apparently likes being old. As it turns out, the precinct has a "Bring-Your-Grandpa-To-Work" Day, and he urges Ms. O to give Oscar a chance to stop Odd Todd and get the Flip-Flop-inator back.
* {{Eyedscreen}}: Used for both Odd Todd and Oscar before they begin battling.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: Averted; Odd Todd taunts Polly by telling her not to be so ''sour'', doing his EvilLaugh as the camera cuts to her expression being exactly that.
* FriendshipMoment: [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Olive]] gives a hug to [[TheSoCalledCoward Oscar]] as thanks for facing down her old partner and getting back the Flip-Flop-inator so she can be 12 again. It truly is one of the more [[invoked]] [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments heartwarming moments]] of the show, especially considering how terrified Oscar appeared to be when confronting Odd Todd.
* HeightAngst: Adult!Olive is far too tall for the kid-sized Headquarters, and it shows -- she manages to hit her head on a beam on her way out of the tube lobby, mere seconds after Ms. O warns her.
* IAmGreatSong: "Oscar is Awesome", which is a song sung by a rock band as they put on a concert for everyone to celebrate the eponymous scientist's heroic deed. Fittingly for this show, some of the lyrics are nonsensical ("When something is awesome / We'll just call it Oscar!"). Oscar himself even joins in on singing the lyrics at one point.
* IWorkAlone: When Odd Todd tells Olive to meet him at Polly Graph's lemonade stand, she begins to leave, only for Otto to stop her and tell her that he's coming with. She straight-out refuses his help, saying that Todd's her old partner and that "this is my fight to fight." Otto doesn't interject any further, but ultimately appears uncomfortable with her decision -- something that's amplified by the fact that he's unable to stop Odd Todd himself due to his age (he's 10, and using the Flip-Flop-inator on him would turn him into an infant).

* LetsGetDangerous: Oscar is more than willing to stop Odd Todd, since he's 11 and is unaffected by the gadget's effects. He manages to put on a brave front when battling him.
* LetterMotif: Odd Todd's "Todd Squad" has a similar ThemeNaming as Odd Squad, only his agents' names (or at least his name, since he's the only member) start with "T". Olive remarks that he can't tack on a T to every single name, as Polly demonstrates with "Tpolly".
* LongSongShortScene: [[IAmGreatSong "Oscar is Awesome"]] isn't played in full, and has some of its second verse cut out to make room for a short bit of O'Fynne and Owen conversing. The full song is on the show's album, ''Stop the Music.''
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: The Security agents that accompany and protect Ms. O and Otto are in full riot gear, complete with shields.
* MesACrowd: The ColdOpen client has three duplicates of herself that serve as two customers and a waiter at a nearby restaurant. However, it's left ambiguous as to if they're clones or not.
* MindReading: Olive is initially believed to do this by O'Fynne when the kid-turned-adult asks her how she would know her name if she wasn't who she says she is.
* MundaneUtility: Odd Todd uses his stolen gadget to flip the numbers in a house address of a woman who was waiting for a pizza order, which goes hand-in-hand with his {{Troll}} personality trait.
* MyGreatestFailure: Inverted; Ms. O regards Oscar's Flip-Flop-inator as his greatest invention (although that might be because he was using juice boxes as an example when describing how it works).
* MythologyGag: A rather subtle one -- Adult!Olive is shown to be taller than Otto when they stand side by side. The original pilot for the show had Olive taller than Otto, as opposed to the show itself where the heights are inversed.
* NoodleIncident: Ms. O intercepts Olive and Otto as they walk into the bullpen by rappelling down from the ceiling. When asked where she came down from, she responds by saying that it would take her ''8 hours'' just to answer the question.
* NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup: Played with. The Flip-Flop-inator is the only one of its kind; however, since it's in the hands of [[InvincibleVillain Odd Todd,]] the Main 4 have to get it back before he can cause mass destruction with it, hence why Oscar doesn't build a new one.
* NoSell: Due to his age being 11, Oscar is completely unaffected by the Flip-Flop-inator, which Odd Todd uses to attack. Likewise, the gadget does nothing to the scientist's size-11 pants.
* OhCrap: Otto gets a moment when Olive lets spill about him [[PlayingSick faking sick]] in order to skip work and go to the amusement park. Ms. O responds in kind with a BigWhat.
--> '''Otto:''' [[DerailedTrainOfThought I think we're getting a little bit off track.]]
** Odd Todd gets a ''monumental'' one when he sees Oscar's vest, which is covered in magnets.
--> '''Odd Todd:''' ''Oh no.''
--> '''Oscar:''' ''Oh yes.''
* OutOfCharacterMoment: Otto, who is normally known for his BigEater tendencies, cuts Oscar short from his list about what you can flip with the Flip-Flopper-inator, which is a list of pancakes.
* OvernightAgeUp: Olive becomes 21 years old instead of 12 from Odd Todd's attack.
* PantsPullingPrank: Odd Todd attempts to do a variant of this on Oscar with the Flip-Flop-inator. Considering this is a live-action, TV-Y-rated show, however, it doesn't work.
* PovertyForComedy: A sharp-dressed man with a briefcase is shown buying Polly's lemonade for 25 cents. When Odd Todd changes the price to 52 cents by flipping the numbers, the man states that he doesn't have 52 cents to give and gives the lemonade back to Polly.
* ThePowerOfRock: The agents attend a rock concert in dedication of Oscar at the end of the episode, with the IAmGreatSong "Oscar is Awesome".
--> '''O'Fynne:''' Are these grownups authorized?
--> '''Owen:''' Oh yeah. Authorized to ''rock!''
* ProducePelting: Oscar hits Odd Todd with 4 tomatoes from his bag of 22.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When Oscar confronts Todd, the woman whose house the latter vandalized retreats back inside.
* SelectiveMagnetism: Despite having a vest with 99 magnets attached, the Flip-Flop-inator isn't immediately attracted to them until Oscar reveals them and flips a switch. Similarly, only the gadget is pulled into the magnetism and not other objects (like coins on the ground). This may be justified by the fact that Oscar made the vest himself, and he may have modified it to only lock on to the gadget and nothing else.
* ShowdownAtHighNoon: Oscar and Odd Todd's battle is a parody of this.
* LetterMotif: Odd Todd's "Todd Squad" has a similar ThemeNaming as Odd Squad, only his agents' names (or at least his name, since he's the only member) start with "T". Olive remarks that he can't tack on a T to every single name, as Polly demonstrates with "Tpolly".

Ex-agent Odd Todd uses one of Oscar's gadgets, the Flip-Flop-inator, to cause mayhem around town, eventually leading to Olive getting kicked off the Squad, while Oscar tries to get it back.
----
!!Tropes:
* {{Homage}}: The scene with Odd Todd requesting a meeting with Olive is one to a scene in ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' where the Joker threatens Batman via a video message.
* KidsVersusAdults: Zig-zagged. While Odd Squad has been very accepting of adults with various oddities (since they are, after all, clients of the agents) and are generally amicable with adults who don't have oddities (like Delivery Debbie), Adult!Olive is perceived as a threat and is deemed an "unauthorized" adult. It may be justified due to the fact that Olive is wearing an Investigation outfit and had entered through the tubes; the precinct's headquarters has a set of stairs that agents can take instead, presumably if they have an adult client with them. But it leaves a lot of questions unanswered as to what makes an adult a ''threat'', necessarily -- those featured in the [[ColdOpen Cold Opens]] of episodes, as well as others like Coach Roberts and Soundcheck, aren't seen as threats at all.
* StatusQuoIsGod: Olive is eventually turned back to her 12-year-old self and re-hired back onto Odd Squad.
