Go To

Five is going to get Six to do a difficult jump. She instructs him to jump onto the trampoline, do two bounces, then jump off. Six does one bounce on the trampoline, and one off. Five demonstrates what she actually meant: She jumps onto the trampoline, exactly twice, and then jumps off. Six wants to try again, but their interrupted by the alarm.

Agent 77 reports a teddy bear having problems. Four and Three are sent on the mission, due to their love of teddy bears.

Three and Four are launched, and Four spots the teddy bear. They observe that he can touch the ground and turn around. Agent 77 explains that it's the song "Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear". The trouble is, the teddy can't act out the next part of the song: “show your shoe”. He hasn't got a shoe, and Three wants to know the culprit. Sure enough, the Puzzler reveals himself.

The teddy bear has been asked to do things he can't do anymore, so the Puzzler tells Four he has to do everything he says. Three asks the agents for help. The agents join in with the actions, and Six sends brain gain.

The Puzzler tells Four to do the first part of the song: turn around. With the help of brain gain, Four manages to do this. The Puzzler feels he's been too easy on Four, so gives him a difficult challenge. Four has to sit, then stand, and does so successfully. The next challenge is to shout 'hooray!' and 'boohoo!', which Four manages, and Three praises him.

Now that Four has succeeded at remembering two instructions, his next challenge is to remember three: Sing, shout and wave arms about. Three gives Four brain gain, and he manages to do all three things.

Four has passed the test, and the Puzzler is going to slip away, but Three orders him to give the teddy a shoe. The teddy is much happier now he has a shoe, and the Puzzler finally bursts.

Three and Four return home, and Five and Six challenge the viewer to tell someone else what to do, and see if they get it right.
