- You wanted to see us, Ms. O?
- Yes.
Something very odd has happened.
You remember the town baker.
- Hi, guys.
So, usually, my cakes are light and fluffy, but lately... - Ugh... - Ugh!
- I can't figure out what's going on!
- Hmm...
I have a hunch.
Ms. Baker, can you walk us through what you do to bake a cake?
- No!
But I can hand you this recipe card.
- Okay...
So you did step one - mix ingredients-- - But you skipped step 2 - bake cake.
- But there's frosting in there, so you did 3, put on frosting-- - But you skipped step 4 - add birthday candles.
Ms. O, can you put these steps on a number line?
- What?
You think I can whip up a number line just like that?
You're absolutely correct.
- (Olive): So, you did step 1 - mix ingredients - but you skipped step 2-- - (Otto): Bake cake.
- Then you did 3 - put on frosting - but skipped 4-- - Add birthday candles.
- You're skipping every other step.
- Oh, wow!
I had no idea.
- Thank you, Ms. O. Ms. Baker, would you walk across the room for me?
- My pleasure.
- (Otto): She didn't walk - she skipped!
- Exactly.
Ms. Baker, I'm afraid you have a case of the skips.
- Everyone, put on your masks!
(alarm blaring) - What's going on?
What are the skips?
- The skips is a condition that makes you skip steps and also skip.
- (Ms. O): And it's contagious.
Dr. O!
- Ma'am, you need to come with me.
- Uh...
Uh... - That was kind of fun.
