'''''A Case of the Sillies'''''
'''Airdates:''' July 7, 2016 [[note]]PBS Kids premiere[[/note]], July 12, 2016 [[note]]TVO Kids premiere[[/note]]
When Dr. O catches a case of "The Sillies", Ocean and Oona must collect all the ingredients to make a curing antidote.
----
!!Tropes:
* ADayInTheLimelight: This episode focuses mostly on Oona and Ocean.
* BaitAndSwitch: Otis and Olympia are having routine checkups done in Dr. O's office, where she checks the former's mouth. After she asks them to sing a note in the key of C, she then says that it's "just as I suspected". Cut to Olympia and Otis looking rightfully worried before Dr. O assures them that they're both healthy.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: The Sillies is a progressive disease that gets worse the longer it is left untreated in the victim. If left fully untreated, it's explained that eventually, the person with the disease stops talking entirely and simply runs around making silly noises. [[TheComicallySerious Dr. O]] falls victim to this disease, and goes from simply laughing at the end of every sentence she speaks, to pulling a HehHehYouSaidX joke on her patients, to playing practical jokes on them.
* CrossReferencedTitles: With [[Recap/OddSquadS1E7ACaseOfTheSingAlongsMsOUhOh "A Case of the Sing-Alongs"]].
* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Otis calls Odd Squad to ask for a shutdown of a tube entrance in a man's office (which is behind a filing cabinet). When he and Olympia begin to leave, they attempt to do so through the same tube entrance they used when entering the man's office -- the same one that's now inoperable. As a result, Otis (but not Olympia, who's behind him and crouched down) runs right into the filing cabinet and nearly knocks down the man's large painting before composing himself, completely flustered.
--> '''Olympia:''' We should've seen that one coming.
* DraggedByTheCollar: When Dr. O realizes that she's laughing after every sentence she speaks, she reacts by forcefully grabbing Olympia and Otis by their shoulders and yanking them towards her as she asks what they see in her eyes.
* HehHehYouSaidX: Olympia, Otis and Ms. O all fall for the classic "under where/underwear" gag, much to Dr. O's amusement.
* InstantlyProvenWrong: The ColdOpen client has an issue with a tube entrance being placed in his office, meaning that agents come through the office all day and disrupt his work. Olympia is in disbelief, saying that, after having one agent come through the tube entrance, only one agent isn't "coming through here all day". Cue two more agents coming through the same tube entrance.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Dr. O is normally regarded as TheComicallySerious, but very rarely laughs. So when she begins laughing at random times, she is quick to realize that it's cause for concern.
* OrbitalShot: One is used when Ms. O first calls on Oona and Ocean to work together.
* MouthCam: Right after the ColdOpen, there is a shot taken from inside Otis's mouth as Dr. O checks it with a tongue depressor.
* StealthHiBye: Yes, this trope is as common in this show as oddness in and of itself, and Ms. O does it enough times to give ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Pinkie Pie]]'' a run for her money. This time around, however, her doing so when finding out Dr. O has the Sillies is accompanied by [[StockSoundEffects a comical "boing" sound.]]
* WingdingEyes: Dr. O's hazel eyes turn to colorful spirals under the influence of the Sillies.
--> '''Otis:''' It's like a circus on spin cycle!
* WorldBuilding: Presumably, the office where the ColdOpen client works is a central hub for TubeTravel.
* TheXOfY: Olympia refers to the ColdOpen client's office as the "Chicago O'Hare of tube entrances".
--> '''Man:''' I thought everybody flew through Denver.
--> '''Olympia:''' Uh, Denver or Chicago. However you want to look at it, really.

Ms. O isn't happy about it and demands she give it back. The assistant complies, and then begins ''licking her boss's face.''

* FurryReminder: Being humans that are transformed into puppies, a majority of the agents go along with canine instincts (some engage in play-wrestling, while Otis chews up Ms. O's badge phone due to him teething).
* GadgeteerGenius: The Puppy Master appears to be one, as it's all but implied that she not only built the ray with which she turns the Odd Squad agents into puppies, but she's built a giant version.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Ohlm was able to stop the Puppy Master, destroy her remote, and get her gadget back. However, upon returning to Odd Squad, he manages to turn himself into a puppy, thereby destroying the agents' chances of returning back to their human forms.
* NoSenseOfDirection: Ohlm, due to being TheDitz. He ends up going far enough as to ''board a ship leaving town'' at one point instead of going to the Puppy Master's lair because he doesn't know his left from his right (keep in mind, he had to go to a stone pillar, take a right, and keep going straight).
* PhraseSaladLyrics: True to the structure of this show's songs, the Pigeon Song has lyrics like this that basically describe what Ohlm is doing on his way to the Puppy Master's lair (eating salad, trying to touch a tree branch, etc.).

* TalkingDog: It's implied that all of the agents-turned-puppies can speak to humans, as demonstrated with Ms. O (who is a bulldog puppy) talking to Olympia and Otis (who are humans, just before they get zapped), who can understand her fine.
to:
* TalkingDog: RousingSpeech: Ms. O gives one to the rest of her agents regarding their transformations into puppies, but it doesn't go over so well.
--> '''Ms. O:''' Listen up! I know we are furrier and droolier than usual, but underneath these collars, we are still ''Odd Squad agents.'' And I need all of you to stay ''focused'' and ''professional.'' ''[[[LettingTheAirOutOfTheBand music dies down]]]''
--> '''Dr. O:''' Hey guys, I found a slipper.
--> ''[various cheers]''
--> '''Ms. O:''' Gimme that thing. ''[falls off the steps]'' Whoa!
* ShipTease: Yes, even though they're puppies, Ms. O telling O'Malley that the more scared he is, the cuter he gets can definitely qualify. Despite the form change, it's quite possibly the closest the show has ever gotten to anything romance-related in terms of agents.
* {{Sleepyhead}}: Ohlm takes one bite of salad, sets the container down next to him, and immediately falls asleep sitting up, just before waking up and catching himself. He then begins to fall asleep again, only to wake up and catch himself once more.
** One of the Odd Squad nurses, turned into a puppy, is one of these. It'simplied justified, though, as he's a puppy.
* SpeciesSurname: Played with. Alan, a pigeon thatall Ohlm befriends, is referred to as "Alan the Pigeon" in the credits, but no one speaks his full name.
* {{Spoonerism}}: Ohlm asks a couple to give him their map by saying, "Sire, meem, I need to commandeer that mape."
* SupervillainLair: The Puppy Master has one that looks like an old observatory with a dog bone on top.

** Alan, a pigeon that Ohlm befriends, can also speak to humans, who understand him fine. He also speaks in coos like normal pigeons do.
* TravelMontage: One is shown as Ohlm makes his way through an alternate route to get to the Puppy Master's lair, accompanied by a song sung by Alan, the pigeon.

'''''And Then They Were Puppies'''''
'''Airdates:''' July 7, 2016 [[note]]PBS Kids premiere[[/note]], July 12, 2016 [[note]]TVO Kids premiere[[/note]]
When every agent turns into a puppy, it's up to Agent Ohlm to save the day.

!!Tropes:
* AdaptationDistillation / AdaptationExpansion: A few months after the episode aired, a 2017 calendar was created based on the photos of the agents-turned-puppies taken at the end of the episode, titled the ''Puppies of Odd Squad''. (The idea of creating a calendar to begin with was a BrickJoke within the episode itself.) Various fictional holidays are marked in the calendar (such as Pillowcase Hygiene Day and Jackalope Appreciation Day; some days are marked with agents' absences), birthdays are added (including the ones of Olive, Otto, Oren and Olaf, which were all established in [[Recap/OddSquadS1E12BestSeatsInTheHouseAgentObfusco "Best Seats in the House"]]), notable days were added (such as Owen's days off and a day for Timetastrophe Savings Time) and pictures of puppies that weren't seen in the episode proper, such as one of Ms. O's assistants and one of an Odd Squad doctor, are added. The calendar consists of a ContinuityCavalcade, and reveals some HiddenDepths about Precinct 13579 and the agents who work there. While it was unfortunately removed from the show's section of the Creator/PBSKids website in 2018, [[https://web.archive.org/web/20170215081037/http://www-tc.pbskids.org/oddsquad/agents/hallofdoors/olympiaslocker/pdf/2017-monthly-calendar.pdf a copy is still reserved]] on the Website/WaybackMachine.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Since the Puppy Master doesn't work for Odd Squad (and thus, doesn't have a colored ball or a department she belongs to), she travels through the tubes in a clear-colored, transparent ball.
* ContinuityNod: When Ms. O informs Olympia and Otis that the Puppy Master is in Headquarters, Otis asks her if she meant [[Recap/OddSquadS1E20PuppetShowMysticEggPizza the Puppet Master.]]
* TheDitz: Jerry. Good ''God,'' Jerry.
* DoomsdayDevice: The Puppy Master's ultimate plan is to return to her evil lair and use a giant puppy ray (which is a much larger version of her original handheld one that she uses to turn the Odd Squad agents into puppies) that will turn everyone into puppies.
* EvilWearsBlack: The ColdOpen clients' evil twins are all dressed in black.
* EvilTwin: The ColdOpen clients have the issue of their evil twin selves appearing in the real world via a portal. Apparently, there's an AlternateDimension full of them.
* EyepatchOfPower: One of the ColdOpen clients' evil twins wears one.
* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: The agents-turned-puppies are all wearing their respective jackets, but don't have whatever accessories they have while in human form, nor do they wear pants.
* HiddenDepths: Otis is apparently NotAMorningPerson -- while he doesn't need an alarm clock to wake up, he sometimes falls right back asleep.
* LowerDeckEpisode: This episode focuses primarily on Ohlm.
* PreciousPuppy: Pretty much all of the puppies qualify for the trope.
* TalkingDog: It's implied that all of the agents-turned-puppies can speak to humans, as demonstrated with Ms. O (who is a bulldog puppy) talking to Olympia and Otis (who are humans, just before they get zapped), who can understand her fine.
