Portalandia / Slides and Ladders

The Mobile Unit's first case is all the way across the world in Japan. Orla is disappointed when the task is super simple: return a plant to the 17th dimension. All it requires is putting together a build-it-yourself portal. But when Orla rushes through constructing the portal without reading the instructions, Omar, Oswald, and Opal end up stuck in the 17th dimension. Oswald finally lands an interview on a famous Odd Squad podcast to talk about the new Mobile Unit van. But he is only familiar with the main floor of the van and hasn't yet ventured into any of the other 87 floors, including those below ground level. In his attempt to learn more about the van, Oswald gets lost and risks missing his interview altogether.

Omar has great plans to surprise Orla with a 500th birthday party. But due to some intense Odd Squad history, normal party gifts aren't going to fare well with her.

While solving oddness on a farm, the team meets a kid named Jeremy, who is their biggest fan. Opal really wants to shine in front of him, but the team accidentally gets locked out of their van. While half of the Mobile Unit distracts Jeremy, the other half tries to answer the van's security questions using math in order to get back inside.
