Sector V tries to destroy all the pianos in a truck with a hamster that acts as Numbuh 4's replacement.
Original air date: 2/21/2003
Now loading tropes:
- Bittersweet Ending: All the pianos are destroyed, but Sector V are all injured now thanks to Numbuh 4 and will be out of commission, till the next episode
- Didn't Think This Through: Numbuh 4 opens the back of the trailer so the pianos will fall out not realizing he's right in their path.
- Irony: Numbuh 4's "strategy" for destroying the pianos got rid of all but one piano: the one for him.
- Match Cut: Numbuh 4's scream (when he rams into a button with his injured foot) fades into the piano truck driver preparing to sing.
- Spoof Aesop: After Numbuh 4's strategy backfires on him, Numbuh 1 gathers the team in the treehouse and asks what they learned from this little disaster. The rest of the team say some variant of "stick to the plan", but Numbuh 4 says "Pianos are heavy." Numbuh One says it's "Close enough."
