OPERATION: THE-FLY(Tiny Horsefly Examines Five Little Youngsters)

mini-synopsis: actually, the title pretty much explains it.

summary:

the KND return to the treehouse, triumphantly, after what was apparently a successful mission.  a small fly enters the treehouse, unnoticed, and observes the KND.  they have obtained what appears to be a samurai helmet, though why and how is not explained.  (antiques roadshow?)  they place it carefully  on a small pedestal under a glass dome, and then the KND exit to their respective rooms.  all except Numbuh One, who immediately throws off the dome and grabs the helmet, putting it on and "playing samurai."  he enjoys himself until he notices the fly, which he is strangely freaked out by.  he makes several attempts to get rid of the fly, finally succeeding when he hits a decompression button, which sucks the fly out of his room, into a vent.

the fly emerges in Numbuh Two's room, where he is working on some blueprints.  he spots the fly, which begins to fly away when Numbuh Two captures it in a stasis beam to run some scans on it.  from the information gathered, he constructs a winged backpack, which he uses to fly around, ballet-like with the fly, until the fly exits through another vent, causing Numbuh Two to smash into a wall.

now the fly is in Numbuh Three's room.  Numbuh Three is having a tea party with her stuffed animals when she spots the fly, and captures it.  it apparently has passes out in terror, then wakes to find itself in a tiny dress, wearing makeup.  how Numbuh Three accomplished this we may never know.  she offers it tea and plays with it until it escapes, flying into another vent.

the fly makes its way to Numbuh Four's room, unfortunately for it, as Numbuh Four goes on an all-out mission to kill it.  unsuccessfully, of course, as the body count for KND remains at zero.  he manages to destroy most of his room, however, before the fly makes a quick getaway through yet another vent.  of course it isn't getting away that easily, because Numbuh Four is out for blood, and he rips off his vent cover and dives in after it.

the fly arrives in Numbuh Five's room next, with Numbuh Four just behind it.  he however, gets stuck in Numbuh Fives vent, and is unable to pursue the fly any further.  the fly lands on Numbuh Five's hat, and Numbuh Four informs her of this and tells her to squish it.  then Numbuhs Two and Three arrive, each wanting the fly for themselves.  even Numbuh One shows up, but he wants Numbuh Five to get rid of it.  it's now up to Numbuh Five to decide the fate of the fly, and she decides to set it free.  Numbuh One is relieved, the rest are disappointed.  well, actually, Numbuh Four is pissed.

the fly buzzes away, one assumes to freedom, but instead it flies into a chimney.  surprise ending!  it turns out the fly is a tiny spy camera (one wonders how Numbuh Two's scans failed to pick this up) and it relays the information it just gathered to the DCFDTL.  i guess they should have listened to Numbuh Four after all....

quotable quotes:

i forgot to mention that this episode has no dialogue. so no quotes. though i'm pretty sure at one point Numbuh Three is saying, "la, la, la..."

bizarro's blathering: a pretty cool episode, especially considering they were able to convey each character's personality without any dialogue.
