A-plot[]

Somewhere in Toronto, Noisemaker is causing oddness, which causes people to scream and run. Olympia and Otis appear to stop him. Ocean appears with a dinosaur, who takes one of Noisemaker's instruments. He then takes out another instrument, which gets shrunk to nothing by Oona. Orchid and Ms. O then appear, Ms. O states that it is a slow day back at headquarters. Noisemaker is cornered, and taken to the interrogation room.

Olympia and Otis confiscate his instruments. Noisemaker states that the jacket is made by Stitcher, and tells them about a notebook containing facts about every villain in the world.

Olympia and Otis arrive at Ms. O's office, along with Xavier and Xena. Olympia excitedly tells Ms. O about the notebook, how helpful it would've been if it was taken by Odd Squad and how to get it. Xavier and Xena like Olympia's case and take it from her. Ms. O lets the X's and Olympia go on the case to keep them busy. After The X's and Olympia leave the room, Otis asks Ms. O's permission to tell Olympia the truth about his past. Ms. O disagrees.

The X's put Olympia on "desk duty". Oona accidentally gives Olympia the idea to go out to find the notebook behind Ms. O's back. Olympia goes on her own because she does not want to risk getting her partner Otis in trouble. Oona and Olympia go inside the secret bunker hidden in the lab from "Odd Squad Needs You" to think. By using graphs Olympia predicts that The Stitcher will next visit a villain with a hat.

After visiting Brad Hatter and Lady Sunshine Olympia discovers that her predictions were wrong and that The Stitcher was following a pattern of villains with yellow in their uniforms. Olympia visits Nana Banana and The Stitcher and gets the notebook.

The X's report to Ms. O that they've failed the case. Olympia surprises Ms. O, Otis, and the X's that she found the notebook. Ms. O is shocked and troubled. The X's immediately take the notebook from Olympia and start investigating it. While The X's go through pages, Ms. O tells Olympia that finding that notebook was the last thing she wanted. The X's flip to a page in the notebook featuring Otis and tell Olympia that Ms. O didn't want her to know that her partner is a villain. However, Olympia overheard them say that and says that that's impossible. The X's go out to remove Otis off the squad. Ms. O doesn't agree with that. Ocean walks up and asks, "what's happening?" Xena replies with a shout, "Otis is a villain!" Olympia tries to calm everyone down and asks Otis to tell them it's not true. Otis tells Olympia that he can't do that. Everyone in the room gasps in surprise.

B-plot[]

Ms. O explains to everyone that Otis may have once been a villain, but he's not anymore. Xavier disagrees and tells everyone that Otis has been helping villains break-in since the day he arrived. Ms. O demands a trial, and The Big O comes to be the judge.

In court, Otis explains to everyone that he was raised by ducks, and when he got older he realized they were bad ducks, being rude to everyone they came across. On one day, Brother Quack(a duck with a voice box Otis gave him) shows him a line graph detailing the number of ponds the ducks took over each month of the year. They took more and more ponds from January to August, but none from September to December because they had to fly south for the winter. Otis then explains that Brother Quack had a plan to do away with Winter through a machine that would move the Earth closer to the sun. He noticed how dangerous the plan would be as he read it so he tried to warn the other ducks. They didn't listen so he contacted Ms. O, whom he showed the plans to.

When the day arrived, Otis explained he stopped the ducks' plan by telling Brother Quack he was going out for fresh air, allowing for Ms. O and her agents to stop the ducks. After the ducks were taken away, Ms. O congratulated him for exposing the plan and tells him they could use him for Odd Squad. Unable to go to the academy for being a villain, Otis explains that Ms. O trained him to be an agent, by walking instead of waddling, showing gadgets, and to speak instead of quacking. He concludes stating he'll always be true to Ms. O and Odd Squad. He finally tells Olympia he was afraid of ducks because he was worried his duck family would come back to get him. His testimony is then concluded.

The X's show a line graph detailing the months of the year(horizontal axis), and the number of villains who broke into Odd Squad(vertical axis). There were none in January and February but many in March, when Otis started. Xena then shows another line graph, detailing the number of break-ins(vertical axis) within a week of April, for each of the seven days(horizontal axis). She notes there were no break-ins on Wednesday for the week or any other Wednesdays because it is the day when Otis was not working.

Ms. O defends Otis, stating the graph doesn't say anything about who he is. The X's then call Olympia to the stand to go through a true or false test. She states that while it was true she stated Otis was once a villain, he is not a villain after hearing the whole case testimony. The result comes up as false, to Olympia, Otis and Ms. O's dismay.

The Big O ultimately declares Otis to be guilty. When Ms. O argues that she will fight against this, the Big O states that he found it hard to believe that she didn't know Otis was a villain, even though she is a smart child. As such, he states this makes her a villain too and orders for her and Otis to leave. Ms. O growls as she and Otis are led away. Olympia then states this is the worst day of her life.

Trivia[]
