"Slow Your Roll."
-Who's ready for some corn on the cob? -Ooh, you know I am!
Hot!
-Oh, man! -Ooh!
It's a flyer for the Sunset Skate Jam Competition.
It's at the park. Oh, tonight!
-Skate Jam? -What's that?
Roller skating and dancing at the same time.
Mum and Dad used to go skating back in the dark ages.
The '90s!
Oh, the '90s. Back with the dinosaurs.
Okay, we met at one of those dark ages jam skating competitions.
-Awesome! -You look so cool!
Don't we? And so young!
Tell the story! Please?
Okay. It was the final round of the All-City Skate Jam Contest.
All right, party people!
Whoa!
Oh.
Whoa!
Oh, man!
Sorry, boo. And the rest is history.
Awesome!
How'd you learn that whole dance?
-Yeah, it looks so hard! -Harder than anything I've ever made.
It's easier if you break it down step by step.
One foot out, step down, roll back.
Now turn. Drop it low. There you go!
Oh, yeah! I'm doing it!
I haven't got it!
Oh, it's okay. Took me a long time to learn.
Took your dad longer.
Hey! They don't call me "the Twister" for nothing.
So, who won?
-Oh, I did. -I did.
A tie? Boring. There had to be a winner.
Maybe enter tonight's skate jam for a rematch.
Yeah! See who the real winner is!
-I have my money on Mrs. T. -I'm nervous for you both already.
It's tonight. We haven't skated in years. I don't know where our skates are.
Collecting dust. Who knows what shape they're in?
It would be nice to dance on eight wheels again.
It sure would. Oh, well, maybe one of these days.
In the meantime, let's dance these leftovers inside.
You see how happy my parents were when talking about the skate jam?
We have to get them into the contest. We need to find their skates.
-Clean them up, convince them to do it. -Sounds like a lot to do by sunset.
-We can do it, right, Iggy and Rosie? -Definitely.
Let's go find those skates.
I found them!
Oh, no, they look horrible.
Your dad was right.
They have been collecting dust.
And all kinds of other stuff!
Well, a rematch was a good idea,
but there's no way to get these skates rolling by sunset.
We're scientists. We don't quit.
I know we can fix these fast.
We just need to dust off our brains and get into a brainstorm.
Okay. Good luck, kids.
My brain's dusted off.
Invent a time machine to go back to when Mum and Dad were young
and their skates were brand-new.
A time machine could work, but they're tricky.
What if we went back too far in time?
Dinosaurs would be a ginormous problem.
I know!
What if we sneak into the North Pole and ask an elf to fix the skates for us?
Awesome! But would Santa be mad
if an elf was helping us instead of making toys?
I do not want to get on Santa's naughty list.
We need to fix these skates fast.
So, what if we hired a cheetah skate pit crew?
The world's fastest land animals would be the fastest mechanics.
Plus, they have built-in tools. Their claws. How claw-some is that?!
What if their claws rip up the skates instead of fixing them?
That would be claw-ful, not claw-some.
Hmm. Then we have to be our own pit crew.
I know the three of us can fix my parents' skates.
They need a lot of work. Where do we even start?
Loading the lab.
I'll take a look.
Aha! Oh, very interesting. Hmm.
So, how bad is it?
Okay, let's see.
Both pairs of skates are rusty.
One of your mum's has a loose plate and a missing wheel.
One of your dad's has a crooked axle
and both jam plugs are loose.
How long do you think it'll take to fix all of that?
Hmm. Well, with parts and labour
and snack time, you're looking at a two-day job.
We only have until sunset.
Okay, for you, I can put a rush on it, but it's all hands on deck.
-We're ready to get our hands dirty. -How dirty are we talking?
Oh, fine. For science and Ada's parents.
Okay. All we have to do is take all the skates apart,
fix everything wrong and put them back together. Easy-peasy.
Let's go!
Wow! Look at all these skate parts.
How are we going to put it all together?
Don't worry. How hard can it be?
And… done!
-Wait. I don't think that's right. -Me either.
I think the skate only had four wheels before.
-Hmm. Okay, it's a little hard. -That's okay. Let's try again.
Voilà! Only four wheels this time.
That's a step in the right direction.
-But I think this wheel's an orange. -Oh, that's mine.
Let's try again. We don't have a lot of time.
No, this isn't it either.
The plate's tangled in the shoelaces.
And there are no wheels on the axles! This is a lot harder than I thought.
How are we going to untangle this mess?
Come on!
This is a floppity-flop!
Sunset's getting closer. All we have is a bunch of skate parts.
We'll never get the skates fixed in time.
Maybe we should just give up.
♪ I give up ♪
♪ I can't do it, going to quit ♪

Right! We've got to try again. Let's get back in the lab.
-That's the spirit! -Attagirl!
All right, so what didn't work?
We took the skates apart, but couldn't put them back together.
And we tried to fix everything at once.
So the parts ended up in the wrong places and nothing got fixed. Hmm.
So maybe if we tackled one thing at a time,
we wouldn't get mixed up. We need to break it down.
Like my parents did with the dance steps.
-Exactly! -Oh, yeah!
Need to figure out how pieces go together.
Okay. Uh, how?
Well, when designers build a building model,
they match their work to the original design.
But we took the skates apart, so we can't match them to anything.
We can match it to this picture.
All right, let's follow the picture and fix the skates, one part at a time.
-Awesome! -Nice!
Phew! And there! Looks just like new!
They look amazing!
Quick! To my parents. It's almost sunset.
-Whoo-hoo! -Perfect!
Ta-da!
-We found your skates and fixed them. -Wow! Look at my skates.
They look so shiny!
They look just as good as the day I bought them!
-You can enter the skate jam. -You did it?
-I mean, you did it! -I think it's too late for the skate jam.
Oh, no.
-Aww, no! -Really?
The skates are late, but they sure look great!
Aww, Dad.
You kids did your best, so don't worry about the rest.
And I can't stop rhymin' all the time-in.
I wish we fixed them in time to see you skate dance.
Well, it might be too late for a skate jam,
but not a Skate Twist.
Come on, keep it tight. Ooh, yeah. Slow it down.
Yeah!
We don't know who won the contest, but we won the best parents.
And finally, I won a piece of corn.
"The Amazing Spider-Twist."
What's the surprise?
-Please be a unicorn! -And… open.
Cool!
Don't be scared. Meet my lab partner. PeeDee. She's pretty and delightful.
-That's spider for "hey." -Found her in my window.
She's an orb weaver, my favourite kind of spider.
Cute, right?
I guess she is pretty.
And delightful! Wait. There are different kinds of spiders?
So many kinds!
Orb weavers look like ladybugs, and their webs are silky smooth.
Wow! That web design is amazing!
The angles are sharp. Whoo, it's perfect!
Mmm! Smells like it's time for PeeDee's first snack break.
-Hi, Dad. -Hi, Mr. T.
Hey. Well, this first batch of peppermint cookies got burnt.
Ah, phooey!
It's been a whole lot of trial and error.
But it's okay to not get it right the first time.
Yeah, when I was learning to ride a bike…
Phew, a lot of trial and error.
Crashing into stuff, falling off, ending up in my basket.
But then fab-tastic wheelies!
-Exactly. -Can PeeDee try a cookie when done?
PeeDee? Who is that?
Oh, my--
I mean, spider.
-There's a spider in here. -Did somebody say spider?
Eww! I can't look.
-Mum, wait! Don't squish it! -Did I get it?
Spiders make great lizard snacks.
Hey! No squishing or eating PeeDee, please. She's a friend.
Yeah.
Okay, but, Ada, I think your new friend would have much more fun outside,
you know, as far away from me as possible.
Okay.
Sorry, PeeDee. Guess this is goodbye.
I know that was hard, baby, but spiders give your dad the heebie-jeebies.
And… and your mum.
Okay, me too. Anyway, spider crisis averted.
Sorry, Mum. Gotcha.
Gotcha. Phew.
-PeeDee! -Ooh, gotcha!
Sorry, Mum. I put PeeDee outside, but she keeps coming back.
If I see PeeDee in the house again, she's gonna meet my friend, Mr. Broom.
I'll sweep her outside.
Maybe we can figure out
how to keep her out of the house with science.
It's a deal, but try to figure it out by bedtime.
We'll need to weave a web of ideas.
Ooh! Let me guess. With a brainstorm.
I know. What if we install a spider security system
with a giant web in front of the door?
Oh, yeah! But what if your family accidentally gets caught in it?
Now that I think about it, that would be a sticky situation.
I heard lights attract bugs.
So what if we designed a super bright light in your garden?
That could work.
What if it attracts too many bugs and they have a dance party?
Bunch of bugs boogieing?
I have one word for you. Moat!
And two more words. Baby alligators.
My parents wouldn't let us dig up the garden.
And they probably wouldn't let you have alligators, even baby ones.
Yeah, probably not.
I got stuck on the "baby" part of baby alligators.
Got to be a way to keep PeeDee out of the house.
-Bug spray. -But we don't want to hurt PeeDee or us.
-And most bug sprays smell terrible. -Mmm! But those cookies smell fab-tastic!
Wait. Smells attract and repel.
Ooh, I know that look.
You've got a "hyperbosis"!
No, a "hyperocisis."
Nope, that's not it.
I've got a hypothesis.
♪ I've got a hypothesis ♪
-♪ Does that mean this? ♪ -♪ Explanation ♪
♪ Right or wrong Let's find out what the answer is ♪
♪ Might not be right ♪
♪ But we're going to find out What this theory is all about ♪
-♪ Educated guess ♪ -♪ Will it stand up to our test? ♪
-♪ Yes, that's what a hypothesis is! ♪ -♪ I've got a hypothesis ♪
♪ I've got a hypothesis ♪
♪ Let's find out how right it is! ♪
♪ Let's go! ♪
Here's our hypothesis.
If we can figure out which smells repel PeeDee,
we'll get her to stay out.
I don't want to get stinky or stinky-stinky
and definitely not stinky-stinky-stinky.
But I guess I'm in for science and PeeDee.
Yes! Let's get some stinky stuff and meet outside.
Loading the lab.
You're going to want these.
Spidey subject is alone. And cute.
The claw machine is ready to go.
Okay, let's stink up this spider.
-Hmm. -There's no reaction.
Whoo! Placing the tuna and a stinky sock.
-She'll definitely think that's gross. -She likes the tuna and the stinky sock.
Double fascinating!
Does that mean PeeDee's gonna meet Mr. Broom?
-It's almost bedtime! -Hmm. Looks that way.
So many trials and nothing but--
Errors! Trial and error. Like what Dad said.
Like learning to ride my bike!
Exactly! We'll try more stinky trials until we get it right.
-PeeDee's container is pretty messy. -You're right. After we clean it.
Mmm! Those bubbles smell orangey.
-PeeDee ran away from the soap bubbles. -Great observation.
Maybe PeeDee likes stinky smells and hates soapy smells.
Mind blown.
If we put soap bubbles around the windows and doors
where PeeDee likes to come in, that'll keep her out.
Oh, that's a lot of windows and doors to bubble.
-We can make a bubble blower. -Yeah, that'll double the bubbles.
Let the bubbling begin.
Well, PeeDee, I guess this is goodbye, again.
-Aww, keep in touch! -Don't forget me.
-Happy trails. -Ada!
Huh?
-Whoa! -Whoa-whoa!
Whoa!
Sorry, Mum. Looks like our bubble machine worked a little too well.
Mm-hmm. You know what you need to do, missy.
After all of that cleaning, I need a snack.
Ooh, oranges!
You guys, PeeDee's back!
Got to find some other way to keep you out.
Hmm. Why won't she get in my hand? Ooh, something I said?
Hmm. Since smells attract and repel, maybe it was something she smelled.
My hand smells like oranges.
So maybe it wasn't the soapy smell that PeeDee didn't like,
but the orangey smell of the bubbles.
Exactly.
These bubbles are unscented, and these smell like orange.
It is the orange smell!
We'll just put peels everywhere.
They're not as messy as bubbles and way less slippery.
Ugh, that was my last one!
I'll get one.
We're out of oranges too.
I thought that was the answer, but all of our trials failed. Poor PeeDee.
Hey, why all the sad faces?
Ooh, how about some peppermint cookies, fresh out the oven?
Okay. Thanks, Dad.
Yes! Dad for the win.
Nailed it!
Ooh!
Doesn't look like PeeDee likes peppermint.
Iggy, you're right. PeeDee doesn't like peppermint.
A new, new hypothesis!
We fill the house with peppermint, PeeDee'll stay outside. Hope we're right.
But spreading sweets around the house will attract ants. Trust me.
Maybe have the peppermint without the sweets.
-Use the peppermint oil I use in my hair. -Yes! Thanks, Mum.
Activating peppermint power.
-Mmm! Pepperminty! -Smells so good!
She didn't go inside!
Bye, PeeDee. I hope I see you again.
Oh, baby, don't look so sad.
Sure, PeeDee has to stay out, but she can stay around the house.
-Really? -Cool!
We can find the stinkiest corner for her!
And done!
Welcome to PeeDee's Spider Spa. Thanks for letting me borrow your sock.
-Glad to be of service. -What do you think?
-Looks great, sweetie. -As long as she stays out there.
