Uh partner, does it seem like everything's moving...
Uh backwards?
Yeah.
Backwards Bob brought a backwards bubble into headquarters.
The bubble burst and now this is my life.
He's not moon walking, he's just a weird walker.
Ms. O, why didn't the bubble affect you?
It did, I'm just doing everything backwards so that it comes out forwards.
It's exhausting.
(Speaking backwards) She's talking backwards, I can translate.
Guys, you gotta fix this.
(Speaking backwards) Ideally before lunch.
Why before lunch?
(Speaking backwards) When I try to eat my sandwich, this happens.
Backwards Bob is in the interrogation room.
Backwards Bob.
I prefer Bob Backwards.
Yeah, we're not gonna call you that.
We're gonna ask you a few questions.
Sure, fire away.
Bob, is there a cure for the backwards bubble?
One moment.
Yes.
Ms. O, what's happening?
Yeah, so I recently had a meeting with the villains about new rules for the interrogation room.
From now on Odd Squad can only ask a villain 20 yes or no questions.
No deal.
What if we sweeten the pot?
Is that mango strawberry?
You betcha.
Oh that's good.
They found my weakness.
Not a problem, Ms. O.
20 questions is plenty.
Oh you better hope so, because if you run out of questions I don't have to tell you the cure, and Odd Squad will be backwards forever.
You think we're gonna run out of questions?
Yes.
(Chuckles) OTIS: I got this.
Do you have the cure to the backwards bubble with you?
No.
Does someone you know have it?
Yes, but you'll never get it.
I know a ton of people, okay.
I'm really active on social media.
Is it your mom?
Yes.
I had a hunch.
Here's the villain's mother address database.
She lives on Oak Street, but it doesn't say what number.
It's not the greatest database, honestly.
Ha!
There are 30 addresses on Oak Street, it's over.
I have an idea.
There are 30 addresses on Oak Street.
Instead of asking about one number at a time, we can ask about a lot of numbers at a time.
OTIS: Let's start in the middle of the number line.
15.
Is the address greater than 15?
Yes.
Is it greater than 23?
No.
OLYMPIA: So it's less than or equal to 23, but it must be over 15, so it has to be between 16 and 23.
17?
Maybe.
I thought it was yes or no.
Okay fine, it's yes.
OLYMPIA: 12 questions left.
I'm gonna leave those to ask you how you feel after we beat you...
In a yes or no form... Because that's how the rules work...
In the interrogation room.
I forgot my jacket.
