When Olympia suggests that Oona continue working on the Face-Replace-inator gadget to give the Noisemaker a human face for his new life, Oona responds with "that's why you get paid the ''big bucks''" before asking Olympia if she's getting paid, with the agent sadly saying no.

Concerning this episode, it's possible that the question of if Olympia is getting paid is for nothing more than a gag per RuleOfFunny, but it's not made explicitly clear.

!!Tropes:
to:
* BefriendingTheEnemy: Played with. Over the course of the episode, the Noisemaker befriends Otis, and the reason why he doesn't want to go into the [[WitnessProtection Villain Protection Program]] is because he's afraid of losing him. However, the feeling isn't mutual, as Otis views the Noisemaker as he's always viewed him: as an enemy.
* BehindAStick: The Noisemaker hides behind a picnic bench when Otis first meets up with him.
* BigWhat: Olympia and Ms. O give one in unison when the Noisemaker refuses to go into the [[WitnessProtection Villain Protection Program]] due to the fact that he'll lose a friend.
* BlatantLies: When the Noisemaker asks Otis if he knows what he's doing concerning the TubeTravel issue, Otis assures him that he knows what he's doing just before he calls up his partner.
** When Otis and the Noisemaker run into Lady Bread, they attempt to convince her that Odd Squad caught the villain making noise at the library during quiet time while dumping food on his head. Lady Bread doesn't appear to buy it, but discovers the truth when listening to Otis tell the Noisemaker that she doesn't know he's working with Odd Squad.
** The Noisemaker later invokes this at the end of the episode, telling Otis that he'll pass off his working with Odd Squad as a story.
* BlindAlley: The Noisemaker and Otis duck behind a bike vendor's stand just as Lady Bread, Mr. Lightning and Evil Teddy run past them.
* BodyWipe: As Otis and the Noisemaker run away from the three villains after accidentally letting the secret of the Noisemaker working with Odd Squad slip, Lady Bread and Evil Teddy chase after them, while Mr. Lightning walks into the camera, rubbing his hands in preparation for an attack, just before there is an IdiosyncraticWipe of the Security logo as the scene cuts to Olympia and Owen.
* TheBusCameBack: Evil Teddy returns after having last been seen in [[Recap/OddSquadS1E33OVsTheBallcanoAssistantsCreed "Assistant's Creed"]].
* BusesAreForFreaks: Since the tubes are closed for cleaning, Otis and the Noisemaker are forced to use the bus to get to the emergency rope ladder on the other side of town. Unfortunately for them, Mr. Lightning, another villain, boards the same bus, and they are forced to hide by practically laying down on the seats until they can get off.
* CharacterDevelopment: While Otis initially started out as having NoSocialSkills, this episode has him bond with the Noisemaker, who befriends him. Ms. O points out this development at the end of the episode.
--> '''Ms. O:''' At least your people skills are getting better.
* ChaseScene: Otis and the Noisemaker quickly run away from Evil Teddy, Mr. Lightning and Lady Bread, who are attacking them.
* CoveredInMud: Both Otis and the Noisemaker fall into a lake, and are next seen covered head to toe in mud.
* FingerlessHands: Lady Bread has two loaves of bread for hands, but no visible fingers.
* HeelFaceTurn: Subverted. While it looks like the Noisemaker will truly turn good, he ends up going back to villainy at the end of the episode.
* HeroismWontPayTheBills: Even if Otis is an agent of Odd Squad, he is still forced to pay the bus fare like everyone else.
** The trope is inverted for Mr. Lightning, who is also forced to pay bus fare despite being a worshipped villain by the bus driver. However, instead of paying with cash, he pays by refilling the bus's battery meter with his lightning powers.
* HeroWorshipper: Played with; the bus driver views Odd Squad as the greatest mystery-solving team ever, but he also views Mr. Lightning as the greatest ''villain'' ever.
* HyperventilationBag: The Noisemaker begins to hyperventilate when Otis informs him that Olympia is checking on the TubeTravel issue. This being [[OneManBand the Noisemaker,]] though, he hyperventilates into his harmonica instead of a bag.
* ICantHearYou: As the Noisemaker is biking with Otis, this exchange ensues.
--> '''Otis:''' Lake!
--> '''Noisemaker:''' I know! My singing is great!
--> '''Otis:''' No, you're headed for a ''lake!''
--> ''[the Noisemaker yells; splashing]''
* IKnowWhatWeCanDoCut: Otis tells the Noisemaker that they'll have to walk across town to get to the emergency rope ladder needed to enter Headquarters. The Noisemaker begins to protest, saying that he'll stay a villain, but Otis assures him that there's a "fun and fast" way of getting there. [[IdiosyncraticWipe Transition]] to both of them about to board a bus.
--> '''Noisemaker:''' How is ''this'' better than tubes?
--> '''Otis:''' Because, uhh, you can sit down instead of all scrunched up. ''[kneels down and groans]'' So uncomfortable.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Evil Teddy throws a teddy bear from afar that manages to whack Otis's phone out of his hand.
* MyNaymeIs: While on the phone, Evil Teddy insists that her name is spelled just like that, as opposed to "Evil Teddie".
* NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine: Parodied. While hiding from Evil Teddy, the Noisemaker and Otis take refuge in a restaurant. However, since hiding is for paying customers only, both the agent and the villain are forced to eat a meal together. For the Noisemaker, it's enjoyable.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Mr. Lightning's full name is Mr. Thunder and Lightning, but he shortened it to Mr. Lightning, which is the name that everyone refers to him as.
* QuakingWithFear: The Noisemaker begins shaking in fear when Mr. Lightning boards the bus. Unfortunately, the tambourines he's wearing shake with him and produce a rattling sound that the other villain picks up on.
* ShockAndAwe: [[MeaningfulName True to his name,]] Mr. Lightning has the ability to shoot lightning out of his hands as well as create thunder.
* ShoutOut: The song that the Noisemaker sings as he and Otis are biking to the emergency rope ladder is part of the song "On A Bicycle Built For Two", by Nat King Cole.
* SimultaneousArcs: While "Olympia's Day" shows what is happening on Olympia's end when preparing for the Noisemaker's admittance into the [[WitnessProtection Villain Protection Program,]] this episode shows what happens with Otis as he meets up with him and takes him back to Headquarters.
* {{Slapstick}}: Otis repeatedly gets smacked by pine trees as he and the Noisemaker ride on a two-seated bicycle. Since the Noisemaker is taller than him, any branches that brush past his shoulder are bound to hit Otis right in the face.
* StatusQuoIsGod: The Noisemaker refuses to tell Odd Squad about the other villains and their plans, meaning that it's back to the same old routine for the organization when it comes to catching them.
* StealthHiBye: Lady Bread, Evil Teddy and Mr. Lightning all pull one on Otis and the Noisemaker shortly after they exit the restaurant.
* {{Sting}}: The Noisemaker performs one with the keyboard he wears.
* TubeTravel: Averted; since O'Malley is busy cleaning the tubes, they are down for maintenance, so when Otis and the Noisemaker attempt to go into a tube entrance, they phase right through it.
* VillainousFriendship: Played with. Evil Teddy states that she's friends with other villains, but notes that none of them are nice enough to pay for her cake.
* VillainsOutShopping: Lady Bread, Evil Teddy and Mr. Lightning are all out running various errands, with Mr. Lightning taking the bus, Evil Teddy planning to pick up a cake (for her own birthday, no less), and Lady Bread eating at a local restaurant.
* WeAreNotGoingThroughThatAgain: Ms. O gives Otis and Olympia the chance to rest up in Headquarters for a bit. Otis notices the mansion that Owen had picked out for the Noisemaker as an option, suggesting that they share it with other agents. Olympia, having gone through that exact scenario (which culminated in SanitySlippage and a FreakOut), is quick to give him a stern ''"Nooooooooo!"'' in response.
* WeirdCurrency: A RunningGag in the episode is the Noisemaker attempting to pay for things with various instruments, only for them to not be accepted as currency. However, he and Otis eventually go to a local bike vendor in order to get a bike that will take them to the emergency rope ladder, who ''does'' accept instruments as currency.
* WhatTheHellHero: Otis gives a healthy dose of this to the Noisemaker when he refuses to tell Odd Squad what he knows.
* YouAreTooLate: Owen comes up to the Main 4 (sans Oona) at the end of the episode and informs them that he's found a mansion for the Noisemaker to live in. Olympia is quick to quietly inform him that he's a bit late to the punch.

* BlatantLies: Ms. O checks on Olympia the first time around and sees the eight agents packed in the room divided by eighths, then asks the agent if she still has room for the Noisemaker. Olympia responds that she has a spot in the back for him, causing Ms. O to give her a doubtful look. However, she doesn't question her agent on it.

Olympia responds that she has a spot in the back for him, causing Ms. O to give her a doubtful look. However, she doesn't question her agent on it.
* CollectiveGroan: Olympia invokes this when she begins to leave the room to check on the Noisemaker's living arrangements, only for Ogg to begin moaning, which causes her to come back and explain to Ms. O (standing right outside) that moaning is something everyone in the room does. She then directs everyone else in moaning, much to the Director's confusion (and considering what Olympia's putting them through, some of those moans are likely very legitimate).
** Two of the oddities shown on Owen's Security computers show the teddy-bear tornado from [[Recap/OddSquadS1E33OVsTheBallcanoAssistantsCreed "Assistant's Creed"]] and the house of the ColdOpen client from [[Recap/OddSquadS1E4BlobOnTheJobPartyOf54321 "Blob on the Job"]] taking flight into the air.
** Also from "Blob on the Job", one of the housing options for the Noisemaker includes a castle located in Blobsylvania.
* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: At the climax of the episode, Ms. O reveals that she was well aware of Olympia's inability to say no to others (and likely caught on early when listening to Olympia's BlatantLies). However, had she spent more time with her agent attempting to boost her self-advocacy skills and teaching her that saying no to others is a perfectly reasonable thing to do, the entire conflict likely would have been avoided, as all Olympia would have to do is simply deny Ocean and Dr. O the chance to take up residence in the room.

* ForHappiness: This is Olympia's basic modus operandi, which is [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]] in this episode. She is a GenkiGirl who enjoys befriending others and wants to make her co-workers happy, and because of this, she eagerly lets them have a piece of the room Ms. O grants her to share with the Noisemaker. However, it becomes abundantly clear that this can very easily become a FatalFlaw of hers that can, at worst, result in SanitySlippage and a FreakOut.

It's a rather frightening depiction of SanitySlippage for a show on ''Creator/PBSKids,'' of all networks.
* HandsGoDown: When Ms. O is checking up on Olympia after Oona and a few Scientists take up residence in the room, she finds doubt in the happiness of them and the other residents. Oona has this to say in response:
--> '''Olympia:''' [[BlatantLies Everybody in the room is totally happy and great.]] ''[as Ogg is raising his hand; without turning around]'' Ogg, please put your hand down.

However, she seems to be extremely privy to the fact that Otis and the Noisemaker are running away from what is eventually revealed to be Lady Bread, Evil Teddy, and Mr. Lightning, who all discover that the Noisemaker has turned good.

Changed line(s) 10 (click to see context) from:
!!Tropes:
to:
* EightiesHair: Ms. O doesn't just have the ''hair'', she has the aerobic wear to ''match.''
* AmbiguousTimePeriod: Played with. The time period during which Ms. O had a room to herself to dance in isn't directly stated, but it's heavily implied to be the '80s, going by her EightiesHair and period-appropriate clothes.
* AnAesop: It's okay to say "no" to others if you disagree with something. Don't be afraid to do so; stand up for yourself.
* BuffySpeak: Olympia refers to the Interrogation Room as "interrogate-y" at one point.
* ChesireCatGrin: Olympia develops a very unsettling one just before she slips into "mathness". Even ''[[TinyTyrannicalGirl Ms. O]]'' is disturbed by it (and that's how you know things have gone ''entirely'' south). [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/oddsquad/images/b/b1/Ccg_od.png/revision/latest?cb=20200727224025 See for yourself]].
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Olympia gives Ogg the last portion of the room, this exchange ensues.
--> '''Ogg:''' What do I do with this?
--> '''Olympia:''' ''Anything'' you ''want!'' You just have to stay here, and not leave, so everyone has one-fourth, and everyone is equal!
--> '''Ogg:''' I feel like I'm grounded.
--> '''Olympia:''' Ha. Ogg, what's your job here, professional ''jokester?''
* ContinuityNod: Oona is shown working on improving [[Recap/OddSquadS2E5FlawedSquadTheCreatureWhisperer the Face-Replace-inator gadget,]] which now has the ability to give a person [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs a pigeon face, a squirrel face, or a half-squirrel-and-half-pigeon face.]]
* DancingIsSeriousBusiness: When Olympia asks Ms. O what the room was used for before, there is a WhipPan transition to Ms. O in [[The80s 80s]]-style attire as she dances about.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Played with. O'Malley tells Olympia that he sent an email out regarding the tubes being closed for cleaning two years ago, which is plenty of advance time...for those working there two years ago, which excludes Olympia, who wasn't working at Odd Squad then.
--> '''O'Malley:''' Hey, I sent an email about this two years ago!
--> '''Olympia:''' We weren't ''working here'' two years ago!
--> '''O'Malley:''' Well that explains it...
* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: Blink and you'll miss it, but Ms. O is wearing pink, sparkly eyeshadow as she dances in the room.
* EvolvingCredits: While no clips are swapped out in the opening theme, the CharacterInTheLogo shot replaces Oscar with Oona following his departure, comprising a new Main 4 for Season 2.
* FatalFlaw: This episode introduces another flaw of Olympia's: her inability to say no. Not only is she outright afraid to say no, but she is ''physically incapable'' of doing so. This flaw, combined with her GenkiGirl tendencies and her goal of wanting to spread peace and joy to her co-workers, prevents her from denying said co-workers access to the room she is supposed to share with the Noisemaker, and sends her into SanitySlippage.
--> '''Ms. O:''' ''[in response to Olympia granting access of the room to Dr. O and Ocean]'' You sure about this?
--> '''Olympia:''' Of course. I mean an opportunity to help my fellow employees and spread peace and joy? I don't need all this... ''[gestures to the room]'' Space. Boo.
--> '''Ms. O:''' ''[as Dr. O and Ocean leave to get medical equipment and creatures, respectively]'' It's your room. Do what you want. Just don't be afraid to say no.
--> '''Olympia:''' [[IResembleThatRemark Noooooooo problem!]] See what I did there? ''[Ms. O's gone with a StealthHiBye]'' And she's gone.
* FriendshipFavoritism: Olympia is accused by Oona of favoring Odd Squad Doctors and "creature people" (read: Ocean) over Scientists.
* GettingMyOwnRoomPlot: This episode has a work-related variant. Ms. O opens up a new room to Olympia at her behest so the agent can discuss the Noisemaker's new life with him once he arrives at Headquarters. However, other employees, such as Ocean, Dr. O and Oona, get wind of the news and want to share the room. Olympia, unable to say no, allows them to share it with her, but conflicts arise as the room is not divided evenly among its inhabitants. (Of course, typical for the mathematical {{Aesop}}, these conflicts get resolved quickly -- never mind the fact that Olympia completely forgoes the idea of having a part of the room for the Noisemaker incredibly early.) Things soon get out of hand when the room reaches its capacity and Olympia can no longer keep herself sane.
* HeelFaceTurn: While ultimately subverted in the next episode, the Main 4 (sans Oona) are discussing bringing the Noisemaker back to Headquarters to receive a Villain Relocation Package, which is part of Odd Squad's [[WitnessProtection Villain Protection Program,]] for villains who wish to turn good.
* LooseLips: Olympia continuously lets slip the fact that she has a room to numerous other employees, which draw them to it as they ask her for a spot in it. The trope ends up double-subverted at one point when Olympia begins to tell Owen about her new room, catches herself before she can say she has one, and then says that she almost told Owen about her new room.
* MellowFellow: Ogg has this personality. He speaks in a low, droning voice, shows very little emotion, and is mostly cynical. This puts him in ''very'' stark contrast to Olympia, a GenkiGirl who is more positive and outgoing.
* NoodleImplements: The last time the Noisemaker was taken into the Villain Protection Program, he apparently gave Odd Squad info about what shampoo brands other villains use, and not "world-destruction-type stuff".
* NoSenseOfDirection: As Otis leaves Ms. O and Olympia to meet up with the Noisemaker, the two girls realize that they don't know their way back to the bullpen, and spend a few moments running back and forth trying to find it. (No one remind Ms. O that she's worked in the precinct for about 33 years now.)
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: Initally PlayedForLaughs when Olympia tells Ogg that all he has to do is stay in the room and not leave, so everyone can have an equal share of the room. However, considering that her sanity is slipping, it doesn't come off as comedic in hindsight.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Ogg isn't happy with Olympia forcing part of the room on him and forcing him to stay inside, but when she asks if everyone's okay with the situation and he tells her he isn't, she ignores him due to receiving a call from Otis, and doesn't get a chance to reason with her again.
* PuzzlementAboutPayment: Played with. When Olympia suggests that Oona continue working on the Face-Replace-inator gadget to give the Noisemaker a human face for his new life, Oona responds with "that's why you get paid the ''big bucks''" before asking Olympia if she's getting paid, with the agent sadly saying no. How Odd Squad employees get paid (or even if they get paid at all) is a mystery that surprisingly remains unsolved to date, which is especially jarring for an EdutainmentShow that has had many mathematical [[{{Aesop}} Aesops]] surrounding currency. While previous episodes such as [[Recap/OddSquadS1E10TheTroubleWithCentigurpsTotallyOddSquad "The Trouble With Centigurps"]] and [[Recap/OddSquadS1E26RobertPlantGameTime "Game Time"]] showed characters having money, it's not stated whether the money came from Odd Squad, or from other places outside of work. Concerning this episode, it's possible that the question of if Olympia is getting paid is for nothing more than a gag per RuleOfFunny, but it's not made explicitly clear.
* SanitySlippage: Olympia is shown continuously losing her grip on her sanity as she invites more and more employees into her room. Eventually, it gets to such a point where, after Ms. O informs her that she has a pile of letters from people who want a piece of the room for themselves, she ends up having vivid hallucinations about dividing the room into smaller and smaller bits, and ends up having to be taken to Dr. O's office for treatment. Losing one's sanity happens to be a common occurrence in the Odd Squad universe, and it is known as "slipping into [[{{Pun}} mathness]]".
* SimultaneousArcs: This episode, as well as "Otis's Day", chronicle what is happening with both Olympia and Otis in regards to the Noisemaker entering the Villain Protection Program, with the episodes taking place at the same time. This episode focuses on Olympia as she prepares a room for the Noisemaker's impending arrival so she can discuss his new life with him, but quickly becomes overwhelmed by her co-workers asking for the room instead.
* SpeakInUnison: Olympia and Otis do this in the ColdOpen before catching themselves, with each insisting the other say the "what seems to be the problem" line.
* TheresNoKillLikeOverkill: The ColdOpen client has the issue of appliances not sounding like they should -- the toaster sounds like the toilet, which sounds like the vacuum, which sounds like the smoke alarm, which sounds like the doorbell. While the obvious solution would be to swap out the smoke alarm to end the chain, Otis has a much more extreme solution in mind: move out, as the house is clearly a lost cause. The client is relieved, saying that she thought she was going to have to get a new smoke alarm.
* TheVoiceless: Ogg doesn't
* WitnessProtection: Odd Squad has their own take on the Witness Protection Program -- it's not for agents or citizens of the town who witness odd crimes; rather, it's for the villains who commit said crimes, who wish to perform [[HeelFaceTurn Heel-Face Turns]] and go to the side of good. In exchange for being given a new home and an overall new life, the villain must give Odd Squad information on what they know about the other villains, so that the organization can know their plans and stop oddness before it happens. Naturally, due to the [[StatusQuoIsGod status quo,]] the Noisemaker -- who is entering the program -- refuses to comply, and instead makes his escape.
* WorldBuilding: This episode introduces an emergency rope ladder that is another way to get into Headquarters (an ElaborateUndergroundBase) aside from [[TubeTravel using the tubes.]]
