Go To

This episode provides examples of

  • Big "YES!": Three says, "I'm going! Yes!" when Five lets her come with her.
  • Comedic Underwear Exposure: A man gets his underwear on the outside of his clothes because of the Puzzler.
  • Cool Big Sis: Five allows Three to come out with her on the mission, and stands up to the Puzzler when he traps them both in a bubble. At the end of the episode, she even cleans up Three's mess, when that was meant to be her compromise for being allowed out on the mission.
  • Damsel in Distress: Three and Five both get trapped in the puzzle bubble.
  • Department of Redundancy Department: When Three begs to be sent out, she says things again and again, like "Come on, come on, come on" and "Send me out! Send me out!".
  • Floating in a Bubble: When the Puzzler bubbles Five and Three, they float up inside the bubble.
  • Gender-Separated Ensemble Episode: Coincidentally, the two Numberjacks on the mission are the girls of the main crew, while the two in the control room are the boys.
  • Grid Puzzle: Three and Five must crack a Sudoku so they can clear and exit the puzzle bubble.
  • Karma Houdini: Three makes a big mess in the cosy room, and Five tells her she can only come on the mission if she tidies it up later, which she dreads doing. Despite promising she would, Three never does tidy it, instead Five does so with brain gain.
  • Little Professor Dialogue: Three, who's three years old, uses the word "investigate".
  • Murphy's Bed: Five imagines a boy falling out of bed.
  • Your Head A-Splode: The Puzzler, who is nothing but a head, explodes to leave.
