Okay, okay.I got it.
As soon as time starts over, I'll hit the stopwatch that way we'll know what we're dealing with.
Right!
It's clear you have no idea what we are dealing with... Where'd the watch go?
We don't have it because we went back in time before you got it.
Ah!
Hang on, this time-loop started when the gadget broke, right?
Right.
So all we have to do is stop it from breaking.
When it resets, I'll throw the pillow underneath the gadget and it won't break and there'll be no time-loop.
Boom!
Nice one, partner.
No, it's not nice because...
Your pillow's now gone.
I see how this works now.
The worst part is I was making toast when this happened.
It never finishes toasting.
I took it out once but it was just warm bread.
There's got to be a way to stop this.
The only way is to fix the Before Now machine, except every time I try the loop starts again and all my fixes get unfixed.
Wait, the Before Now machine is number 50.
Yeah, so?
So, every gadget has a number... And if you combine them we can make a new gadget.
All we have to do is add up to 50 and we can make a new Before Now machine.
And end the loop, I knew it was worth dooming you to eternity with me.
We should get to work.
If the number is bigger than 50 it can't add up to 50, so we can get rid of all these numbers quickly.
76.
80.
62.
96.
60.
117.
135.
63.
87.
Let's start with the biggest numbers first.
I have a 20.
And I have a 10.
20 plus 10 is 30.
I have a four.
So we count on from 30.
31, 32, 33, 34.
I have three two's.
So we count by two's starting at 34.
36, 38, 40.
There are no more gadgets left.
The gadgets are back.
The one good thing about a time-loop, it makes cleanup easy.
We can't make 50, we'll never make a time machine...
Words I thought I'd never say.
Hold on, we have gadgets that add up to 40.
All we need is another 10 gadget to get to 50, maybe there's one nearby.
OONA: Boom, there's one in the Odd Squad warehouse.
We're on it.
I'll be right here, watching toast.
