Go, go, go, go!
Team Zenko Go!
Go, go, go, go!
Zenko Go!
-Go, go, go, go! -Team Zenko Go!
Hello. I'm wide open.
We win.
Pardon me, sir.
You need a haircut. Yes, you do.
You are looking shaggy.
Oh, hey, Ian. How'd you do on that exam today?
Potato.
Is that good or bad? I'm not up on the current slang.
Potato.
-What was that? -I don't know.
But I smell a Zenko.
That might be my lunch.
It was spicy tuna roll Tuesday.
But you're right. Let's go.
Yeah.
Ponzu? Mission mode.
Go, go, go, go!
Niah!
Ari!
Ellie!
Jax!
Team Zenko Go!
We heard the gong. What's gone wrong?
We're not sure. But does this look weird to you?
You are looking shaggy.
Yeah, who talks to mops?
Now, brooms, they got a lot to say.
I think I know what's going on. Uncle Ian's sleepwalking.
That's not how sleepwalkers really act.
Sometimes they seem pretty normal.
They talk, walk around with their eyes open.
Some even cook or do laundry or even exercise.
Sleepwalking sounds exhausting.
-How do you know so much about it? -Because this has happened
to Uncle Ian before.
Actually, sleepwalking sort of runs in our family.
No way. Have you--?
Woken up brushing my teeth? Sure have.
Nothing in my book about this.
It's really rare.
Uncle Ian only does it when he gets super, super tired.
Mr Tanaka did ask him how he did on an exam this morning.
I'll bet he stayed up all night studying and was so tired he fell asleep,
and started to sleepwalk.
Great. Easy mission.
-We'll just wake him up. -No!
I've known a few sleepwalkers over the years
and the worst thing you can do is startle them awake.
She's right.
Plus sleepwalkers are good tippers.
So, what do we do?
We need to get him back to his own bed
so he can continue sleeping there safely.
Okay, Team Zenko Go,
your good-deed mission is to stealthily guide Ian back to his bed.
What could go wrong?
Lots of things.
Even I get unhappy customers once in a while.
And when I do, I always try to think,
"Why are they really unhappy? Is it my noodles or is it something else?"
Spoiler alert, it's never my noodles.
Yeah, we sort of guessed that.
Anyway, Team Zenko...
Go!
I don't see him over here.
You got anything?
No luck here.
Uncle Ian is skinny. But he's not that skinny.
-He's also not upstairs. -Not downstairs either.
He couldn't have gone far.
Come on, to the roof.
There he is.
Oh, guys, no manhole cover.
-We need to get down there fast. -Seaweed parachute time.
Jax, the sign.
That was close.
We need to steer him towards his apartment.
Gently. Can't wake him.
Which is why I brought one of our egg bouncers.
Genius.
Good job.
Or maybe not.
Hey, Ian. Sorry about the mess.
Got a big delivery of these poorly packed, extremely delicate, easily breakable
and totally uninsured glass animal statues for Miss Wingfield.
She can't stay off the home shopping channels.
Now, where did I put those invoices?
Come on.
Thanks, Ian.
Isn't that the back of Ian's building?
Sure is. Let's get him to go down that alley towards the front.
I'm gonna go ahead and unlock his apartment. Keep him coming.
Potato.
He's saying potato again.
Maybe he's hungry.
But that's a tabby, not a tater.
Either way, he's off the menu.
Potato?
Come on. Let's use the noodle ropes to get him the rest of the way home.
He looks so peaceful.
Poor guy is tuckered out from all that walking around.
It's amazing how tired you can get when you're... sleeping.
Well, good job, team.
It's victory noodle time.
Ponzu, there's no such thing as failure noodles.
-Failure noodles? What do you mean? -Take a look at this.
But we put him back to bed.
-How can this be happening? -I don't know.
But it looks like it's time to Team Zenko Go again.
Oh, right.
Yes. We need to be in costume to perform this Zenko.
You come back here. Come on.
Now, he's playing soccer in his sleep?
He's really gonna knock himself out if we don't do something. Look.
Not potato.
What is going on?
I wish I knew.
Take cover.
Didn't I learn my lesson last time?
Now, where did Ian go?
We have another problem.
Even if we find him and get him back to his apartment,
how do we keep him there?
Well, Yuki's advice was something about
finding out why people act the way they do.
We know why he sleepwalks. He's over tired.
Found him. He's in the community garden.
What do you think he's talking to Scaryl Crow about?
He's probably getting directions to the nearest potato.
-What? -He keeps saying potato.
-We thought he was hungry. -Wait a second.
Potato was the name of his pet Cocker Spaniel when he was a little kid.
He used to sleep beside him all the time.
Maybe he's dreaming that he's looking for his dog.
He did reach for that mop and say it needed a haircut.
Maybe he thought it was a dog.
And he called the cat Potato and tried to hold it.
He thought the soccer ball was Potato too.
It's like Yuki said, find out why someone is acting the way they are.
Maybe Ian's looking for his dog to sleep with.
Ellie, how good is your Cocker Spaniel impression?
Potato.
-Sounds more like a schnauzer to me. -But it worked.
Potato.
Great. Now we have an easy way to lead Ian back to his apartment.
What good does that do us? We don't have a dog for him to cuddle,
-so he'll just get back up again. -I have an idea for that.
You just get him there.
Okay. Meet you there.
All's well that ends well.
I can't believe this is actually working.
Uncle Ian's gonna stay in bed for sure this time.
Yeah, until Ian finds out Ponzu snores.
Potato.
Nice, Gabriel. You got this.
Go, big bro. Thrash that wall.
Here goes nothing.
Done. What's my time, dudes?
Sixteen seconds.
New record.
That was awesome, Gabriel. I got some great footage.
Super. So, who's up next?
Felicia, we're doing an obstacle course. Wanna try it?
I'd love to, but it's time for... Rosie's bubble bath.
Bubble bath for a robo-dog? That's a short-circuit waiting to happen.
But the obstacle course is totally fun. You should try it.
Yeah. Maybe. We'll see.
Anyway, I have to go. Bye.
I'm up next.
I'd love to hang out with them, Rosie. But that obstacle course looks hard.
Exactly. I've never done anything like that before.
What if I fall in front of everyone?
Poor Felicia, she wants to run the course but she's afraid she'll embarrass herself.
Hey, maybe we can do something to help her.
You know, Zenko style.
Ponzu, mission mode.
Go, go, go, go!
Niah!
Ari!
Ellie!
Jax!
Team Zenko Go!
We heard the gong. What's gone wrong?
It's Felicia.
She wants to do the obstacle course with Sam, Gabriel and Luis.
Problem is, she's never done one before.
It has three parts: a high-step through tyres,
a wall climb with a rope, and a jump over a pool of mud.
Let me guess, she's got stage fright.
Sort of. She's afraid she'll mess up and look bad in front of everybody.
A problem Ponzu doesn't seem to have.
The best cure for stage fright is lots of rehearsal.
Exactly. Sounds like Felicia needs a double order of practice.
So your mission is to help Felicia practise enough
to tackle that obstacle course.
By letting her rehearse it without even knowing.
Great idea. I'm down.
Just remember, a lot of people wanna try my famous electric eel noodle soup.
But they're scared to order it.
You know how I get them to try?
-I say it tastes like chicken. -Does it taste like chicken?
No, it tastes like eel. But everyone who tries it loves it.
Okey-dokey. Come on, we better get to work.
Team Zenko...
Go!
There she is.
I just love these felt bags. So many colours.
What's that, Rosie?
I thought we were just window shopping today, but if you insist.
All right. Time for step one of Felicia's training.
And I know just how to do it. What if we use those paint cans?
We can set them up like the tyres.
But how do we get Felicia to high-step through them?
Well, where Rosie goes, Felicia follows.
I know. I can hack into Rosie's software,
then use the drone's remote control to control Rosie.
First, a couple of adjustments.
Awesome. While you get that ready, we'll set up the paint cans.
Operation Re-route Rosie ready to roll.
Thank you. Bye.
Rosie, come back.
Rosie, no. Don't drink that. It'll mess up your insides.
And that shade of yellow clashes with your eyes.
Look at her go. She's pretty good at that.
Rosie, I think we better check your manual.
You're supposed to be in follow mode.
Oh, good, robo-dog. Let's go show off my new felt bag.
Rosie? So, what do you think of this?
Look at all the space for extra batteries for you.
I'll bet Sam could use one of these. I should show her.
But she's at the obstacle course.
Next, Felicia's gotta practise the wall climb.
-Niah and Ari, you're up. -On it.
Rosie.
Hang on, Rosie. I'm coming.
There you are, Rosie.
She's a wall-climbing pro.
So far so good.
Next up is the pool of mud. How are we going to do that?
I've got an idea. But I'm gonna need my chalk.
I call it "Still Life of a Mud Puddle."
Felicia's coming. So we better--
Mud!
Wait, it's not mud.
That looks so real.
Everybody, hide.
Rosie's going rogue in three, two, one.
Rosie, not again.
These are my favourite shoes.
I can't get them all muddy!
Hey, I did it?
Felicia nailed the jump too.
She's great at this stuff.
Now all we've gotta do is get her back to the obstacle course.
No problem.
Rosie, you're being so weird today.
I'm putting you in manual mode so you don't run away again.
Okay, problem. I can't control Rosie with the remote anymore.
So, how are we gonna get Felicia back to the park?
By getting creative. Jax, what are her favourite things?
Well, after robo-pets, it's...
Oh, Japanese anime and fashion.
Fashion and anime.
Ellie, are you up for a little acting?
Fashion. Anime. And drama. Do you even have to ask?
I can't wait for the fashion show. It's gonna be beyond amazing.
Did you hear the theme is anime? It's gonna be so "kawaii".
That means cute in Japanese.
Let's get to the park.
I don't wanna miss a minute of it.
A fashion show with anime?
How fabulous is that?
Let's go.
Hey, Ellie and Niah. Are you here for the fashion show?
We are. But I must have mixed up the dates.
Felicia, you're back.
Wanna try the obstacle course? It's super-fun.
I can't. Not now.
I've gotta go... somewhere.
She's not gonna try it.
But she was so good at all the obstacles before.
I don't get it.
What was Yuki's advice again?
Something about how her eel soup tastes like chicken, or it doesn't.
But she tells people it does.
Maybe that means that sometimes people need a little push
to try something new.
You want to push Felicia onto the obstacle course?
No, not that kind of push. Just to remind her that she can do it.
Sorry, I just can't.
I have... dog dancing lessons with Rosie.
Bye!
Guess it's your turn, Luis.
Not gonna try the obstacle course, Felicia?
Don't blame you. It looks super hard.
High-stepping through those tyres? Nope, I'd trip for sure.
Like you did on those paint cans on the sidewalk today.
I saw those cans, but I didn't trip over them.
And that wall climb?
No way.
I climbed up a wall like that today.
And that jumping over the pool of mud?
Are you kidding? I don't wanna fall in.
Actually, when Rosie was stuck on the other side of a puddle...
-I did it. -I did it!
You did what?
Never mind. Hold my bag, would you? I'll go next.
And... scene.
Okay, guys. I'm ready to try it.
-All right. Let's go, Felicia. -Yeah. You got this.
Yeah!
-Yeah! Go! -All right!
Yeah!
-Girls rule! -Girls rule!
Great job, team,
giving Felicia the perfect training to run that obstacle course.
She didn't just run it, she set the course record.
Who wants to celebrate with some victory noodles?
Don't mind if I do.
Wait, what kind are these?
Well, let's just say it tastes like chicken.
Go, go, go, go!
Team Zenko Go!
Zenko Go!
-Go, go, go, go! -Team Zenko Go!
