Go, go, go, go!
Team Zenko Go!
Go, go, go, go!
Zenko Go!
-Go, go, go, go! -Team Zenko Go!
All you, Ari.
Oh, yeah.
-Yeah! -Awesome pass, Ari.
That's just how I roll.
Delivery.
Excuse us for a sec.
Hey, Donna.
Are you okay?
Me?
Yeah, totally bushy-eyed and bright-tailed.
You know, the thing...
Well, you look kind of tired.
To tell you the truth, I am.
Rona's out of town, so I'm dog-sitting Glitzy for her.
And that pooch is wearing me out.
Really? Glitzy's a handful?
More like an earful.
Some critter is coming into my yard at night.
Glitzy barks her head off at it, and tries to get out of the house.
Wow, that's rough.
Yeah, haven't gotten much shut-eye the past couple of days.
Well, back to my rounds.
Poor Donna. I don't know how she can keep going like that.
Yeah, what she needs is a nice long...
Nap?
You thinking what I'm thinking?
Yeah, I hope there's nothing fragile under there.
And it's time for a Zenko. Come on.
Ponzu, mission mode.
Yeah!
Niah!
Ari!
Ellie!
Jax!
Team Zenko Go!
We heard the gong. What's wrong?
Donna's not getting any sleep.
And it's messing up her deliveries.
She thinks some animal is sneaking into her yard at night,
making Glitzy bark like crazy.
Donna's dog-tired, all right.
At lunch today, she tried to call Rona with a dumpling.
Then she put soy sauce on her phone.
Oh, and on Ponzu.
It confused him, and made him hungry.
Team, your mission is to stop whatever animal
is sneaking into Donna's yard and stirring up Glitzy.
Then maybe Donna can get some sleep.
Good luck.
And just remember...
Maple syrup on tempura shrimp?
-Don't knock it till you've tried it. -Okay.
Hope I never do have to try it, but sure.
Come on. Team Zenko...
Go!
See anything, Ellie?
Nope. Nothing.
How about you, Ari?
Ditto.
We could be here for a really long...
What was that?
I can't tell.
I don't see anything, Glitz.
Now quiet down.
I gotta get some sleep.
Where'd that little animal go?
There. I'll get a closer look.
A skunk.
Guys.
Coming. I'll distract it.
Olé.
Smell you late, Skunky.
That was too close.
That skunk will come back tomorrow night.
I got a merit badge in Woodland Creature Knowledge
from the Junior Moose Patrol.
So I think I know how we can skunk-proof Donna's yard.
First make sure the skunk can't use Donna's garbage
as an all-you-can-eat buffet.
Next up, we set up motion-activated lights.
Extra bright. Skunks don't like bright lights.
Then we fill the hole it crawled in through.
And now Ellie is bringing skunk repellent.
Got lemon peels. What are they for?
Believe it or not, there are some smells that skunks don't like. Weird, right?
Top of the list is lemony, citrusy smells.
Lemon?
All hail the power of the sour.
-I could go get my lemon costume-- -No.
Smell that?
That's the clean, refreshing scent of a Zenko well done.
All I smell is lemon.
Same thing.
Yes.
Hey, Donna. Did you sleep well last night?
Not at all.
Glitzy was barking up a storm again.
All right, back to work.
Donna?
Sorry.
Funny thing is, this is a box of noodle bowls.
Which I was delivering to you.
I don't get it.
We did everything in the Junior Moose Patrol handbook
to skunk-proof that yard.
What happened?
The skunk didn't read the book?
Come on, let's check everything.
Trash is secure.
Lemon peels still in place.
Lights are working.
I don't understand. Everything's how we left it.
Did we forget to fill in this hole?
I totally filled that in.
Well, tell it to that guy.
Skunky.
Hang on. The dirt is piled on this side of the fence.
So that means the skunk didn't dig its way into the yard.
Yeah, something dug the hole from this side.
But who would want to...?
-Oh, no. -Don't.
Look at them.
Maybe that's why Glitzy's been making so much noise.
She wanted out of the house to play with her buddy Skunky.
Yeah, Glitzy must've dug the hole during the day,
so Skunky could get back in.
Who knew skunks and dogs could be friends? Weird.
Hey, Glitzy's not barking.
Maybe if she got to play with Skunky at night too, Donna would get her sleep.
Donna would freak if she knew Glitzy was playing with a skunk.
Hang on, remember what Yuki said
about maple syrup on tempura shrimp?
Yuck.
Sounds gross.
Exactly.
What do you mean?
Yuki said, don't knock it till you try it.
Maybe it's the same thing with Glitzy and Skunky.
Yeah.
We pour maple syrup on Glitzy, and tempura batter on Skunky.
And we sprinkle--
No, dogs and skunks seem like they shouldn't be friends.
If we show Donna what a great pair they are, she'd come around.
But how do we show her?
Donna comes running when she hears noise out here.
I got it.
Donna in three, two, one.
Not again.
Get out of my yard, whatever you are.
Skunk!
Glitzy, get away!
Wait a sec. They're...
They're having fun?
So this little guy is your friend?
That's kind of weird, but, oh, gosh, it's pretty stinking cute.
Yes.
Solved your barking problem?
Yeah, the whole time, Glitzy wanted to play with her pal Skunky.
Crazy, huh?
Skunks and dogs, BFFs?
I mean...
Yoo-hoo, Donna!
And Glitzy-Witzy-Booboo.
Mommy's back.
Oh, take it easy, Rona.
Look, they're pals.
Well, who knew?
And I have to say, it is cute.
Hey, how about we put a doggy, or skunky, door in the fence?
Fabulous idea.
Then Glitzy could come over for play dates with her new friend all the time.
I like the smell of that.
Check it out, Ellie.
Noodle rope plus sushi pad equals...
awesome wall-climber.
Awesome to the max.
I have to try it.
Make sure to use a strong knot to tie it to the sushi pad.
-I recommend a bowline knot. -Will do.
This is fun. Great idea, Niah.
I actually don't know what a bowline knot is.
Oh, big day in Harmony Harbour today, Glitzy.
Founder's Day. Food and fun.
And maybe even a kibble-coated cupcake for a special someone.
Rona, been looking all over for you. I need your help.
Anything for you, dear sister.
I got the biggest delivery job ever.
The pick-up's over in Byden Bay.
That's great news. Congratulations.
But I'm chairman of the Founder's Day Celebration.
I was hoping you could take over.
There's only a few things left on the old to-do list.
No problem.
It'll be a breeze.
Oh, and don't forget these.
You can't have the traditional gold nugget hunt without the gold nuggets.
My favourite part of Founder's Day.
Well, better get a move on.
Don't you worry about a thing.
I have it all under control.
Let's get to it, Glitzy.
We have a Founder's Day to make Rona-tastic.
Ponzu, mission mode.
Yeah!
Niah!
Ari!
Ellie!
Jax!
Team Zenko Go!
We heard the gong. What's gone wrong?
Donna asked Rona to take over running the Founder's Day party.
Yeah, it honours Henrietta Harmony.
She was our town's founder, and a super gold prospector.
Rona has an hour to pull the whole thing together.
And she might need some help.
Look.
Yeah, she needs help.
What's with Ponzu?
He's practising for the nugget hunt with wasabi peas.
I hid a bunch around the truck for him.
Okay, that was my little joke.
So we better get going and help Rona.
Remember, team, no matter what dish you put it in,
an onion always tastes like an onion.
Right, we'll remember that if we have to eat any onions during the mission.
Okay.
Team Zenko...
Go!
Come back here!
Scruffy, fetch.
Come on, Scruffy.
Not again.
There. Now, what's the first thing on the list?
"Founder's Day To-Do List.
Number one: Hide the gold nuggets for the traditional gold nugget hunt."
Rona, we need to make a colour decision ASAP.
Oh, decorations.
My favourite.
Orange or green?
Now, which one just screams "Founder's Day"?
Oh, no, Rona's so caught up in the decorations,
she'll never get everything done.
Okay, this is where we come in.
Be right back.
Green screams "elegant."
But orange yells back, "Fun, fun, fun!"
Tough decision.
Got them. Let's do this thing.
Scruffy, that's not how fetch works.
You're supposed to take it back to Mr Tanaka.
We're going orange.
Which orange?
Tangerine tinge, or pert-and-perky pumpkin?
Oh, the pressure.
Rona's still stuck on the decorations. What's next on the to-do list?
I'll find out.
"Number two: Get Greg's wreath from home."
Who's Greg?
Greg the Moose. You know, the town mascot.
He was Henrietta Harmony's pet.
Yeah, every Founder's Day,
his statue gets a new big, super-flowery wreath.
It's Donna's to-do list, so the wreath must be at her place.
Let's go.
I wonder where the wreath is.
-Looks like Donna left it out in the sun. -That doesn't sound like her.
Greg the Moose doesn't get a wreath this year.
Wait, maybe I can fix it. I'll need some of Donna's flowers.
Next on the list is pies?
Yeah, for the pie-eating contest. I bet they're in there.
Donna must've been in a hurry. She left the kitchen window wide open.
Somebody went crazy on these.
Yolanda.
We need baking backup.
Auntie Yuki, we've got a pie-mergency.
Pie-mergency or cake-tastrophe,
I'm ready to go, go, go!
There. Decorations are done.
What's next?
Something about a wreath and pies?
Got your pies right here.
And I just saw Greg's wreath. Looks great.
Perfect.
I knew I could do it.
Looks like Founder's Day is gonna go off without a hitch.
The gold nuggets.
They're gone.
Oh, no.
What do we do? The celebration is starting.
Jax, maybe you can enter the pie-eating contest,
and stall everything while we look for the nuggets.
Let me get this straight.
You want me to stuff myself with pie while you guys work?
Yes, please.
The rules for the pie-athon are simple.
Whoever eats the most pies in ten minutes wins.
Ready, set--
Wait, wait, wait.
Can I go home and change to pants with a stretchy waistband?
We need to start the contest now.
Okay.
Wait.
Do we have to eat the crust? Because I'm not really a crust guy.
-I don't see the gold nuggets anywhere. -Me either.
Wait a minute. Remember what Yuki said?
No matter what dish you put it in, an onion always tastes like an onion.
Yeah, so?
Scruffy always acts like Scruffy.
I saw him burying this tennis ball earlier.
I wonder...
Follow him.
When you think about the word "crust," does that sound like something you'd eat?
-I mean-- -That is it.
No more questions. Start eating pie.
Yep, Scruffy always acts like Scruffy.
There. Nuggets hidden.
Our next event is the gold nugget hunt.
Victory noodles for everybody.
No, thanks.
I'm kind of full.
Well...
This has been the weirdest day.
Drove around for hours on a wild-goose chase.
That big delivery?
It was a fake address.
Wow, that is weird.
Hey, that's not the wreath I made.
We heard that they had to replace it, because it got left out in the sun.
But I left it in my house with the pies.
I had my windows closed and the air conditioner blasting,
so everything would stay fresh.
Really?
Yeah. Wowza, this has been a really weird day.
-I'm gonna see if there's any pie left. -There isn't.
Good question, Ponzu. Why would someone send Donna out of town on a fake errand?
And open her window, so the pies would get ruined.
And put the wreath out in the sun, so it would wilt.
Yeah, it's almost like somebody out there is intentionally doing bad deeds.
Guys, could we have an arch enemy?
