All of the teenagers in Sector V's hometown have formed a place called The Point, and Numbuh 1 suspects that they are helping the adults.

Original air date: 1/17/2003

Now loading tropes:

  • Bait-and-Switch:
    • When Sector V breaks open a car and go to confront the teens inside, Numbuhs 1, 3, 4, 5 run off in disgust while Numbuh 1 says "How can they do that in a car?" while Numbuh 2 continues looking inside while saying "Cool". Turns out the car was empty but filled with leftover takeout food.
    • Throughout the episode, teenagers talk about how going to the Point will "Make them a man" or some such. Sector V (Numbuh 1 in particular) assume the Point is a facility that turns teens into adults, while viewers are led to believe that they do...something you probably shouldn't show on kids' television. Eventually, it transpires that it's just a roller-skating rink. And it also turns out it's kid's night as well, so kids in the age bracket of Sector V can skate as well.
  • Early-Installment Weirdness: Unlike the later seasons, here teenagers aren't engaged in warfare with the KND and are mostly neutral towards them until the team ruins their night at the roller skating rink.
  • Forced to Watch: A non-fatal variant. As a result of Sector V destroying the Point, the teenagers move their roller-skating to inside Sector V's treehouse, and tie them together and force them all to watch the teenagers have a good time.
  • Good All Along: The KND ruins the teens' night at the skating ring when they thought they had other motives when in reality they just wanted to have a good time that night. The teenagers are understandably livid at Sector V.
  • Kill Sat: Sector V decides to use their S.P.L.O.R.C.K.note  to destroy the point. Unfortunately, by the time they realize that it's just a rink, it's too late to abort the firing sequence, and the place is struck by a torrent of mustard.
  • Make-Out Point: Implied multiple times, but subverted with the reveal that the Point is a roller-skating rink.
