[chuckles]
Coming through!
Sorry!
Excuse me!
[grunts]
Is it here? Is it here?
Our robot statue?
Not yet.
Being the first store to sell Rescue Robot Number One Hundred tonight
is gonna be awesome, but--
Having our own full size, full color,
Rescue Robot statue will be double awesome!
[sighs] If it gets here on time.
Relax, Mom.
Donna's Delivery is never late.
And when it gets here,
check out the special lighting I rigged up for it.
[both] Triple awesome!
No, it does not need more salt.

Hello?
[crickets chirping]
Donna?
[chitters]
I know.
Donna's always my first customer for lunch.
[chitters]
Mm-hmm, I agree.
Hit it, Ponzu!
[suspenseful music plays]
Ha-ha!
There she is.
- Huh? - Hmm...
Looks like a breakdown.
Poor Donna, she loves that old truck.
You know, she named it Phyllis.
[chitters]
People can too love their trucks.
I love this one.
[chitters]
But not more than you.
[chuckles]
This looks like a job for Team Zenko Go!
[grunts]
Ha!

To be continued, I guess.
All right, kids.

Oh!
Pretty much.
Hi, Mrs. Hernandez.
Love the beard, Mr. Roberts.
- [message alert] - Bye, Mrs. Hernandez.
Still loving the beard, Mr. Roberts!
- [message alert] - [gasps]
Um, Mom, I just remembered,
I have to go do something.
Go do what?
It's a...

Team Zenko Go!
We heard the gong.
What's gone wrong?
- Ponzu? - [chitters]
[Yuki] Team,
Donna Dunsmore's delivery truck has broken down.
Aw, she loves Phyllis.
And think of all the people who won't get their deliveries.
Like my mom.
There's something extra special on that truck for our shop.
Please tell me this is today's Zenko.
It is!
Your Zenko, your good deed,
is to help Donna get the packages on her truck delivered.
Simple.
I'll fix her truck and get her right back on the road.
Sounds like a plan.
[Yuki] Just remember,
the best Zenko's are the ones nobody knows.
[all] Zenko Go!
[Donna babbles]
Oh, wh-where's the--
Aw, sorry, Phyllis,
I can't fix ya.
Gonna have to call a tow truck.
[phone dialing, line trilling]
Yeah, hi. This is Donna Dunsmore,
Donna's Delivery.
Uh, and my truck is broken down.
- I really need-- - [hold music plays]
Not to be put on hold.
She's busy. Let's get to it!
I'll fix this, no problem.
Okay, problem.
[both] What?
I'm sort of a high-tech guy and this old engine is...
Low-tech?
More like, zero-tech.
Let me take a look.
I have a Junior Mechanic Merit Badge.
Let's see. Radiator.
Fan belt. Spark plugs.
Niah saves the day.
Oh, I can just name the parts.
They didn't teach us how to fix them.
Niah does not save the day.
We better call Yuki.
You've got Yuki.
We have a problem. I can't fix the truck.
Ah, you say "problem"
but I hear "opportunity."
[chitters]
No, I do not need to get my hearing checked.
You kids have an opportunity to find another way
to get Donna's Deliveries delivered.
And that way would be?
The answer is in your hands.
[chitters]
The answer is in our hands?
Like we have to come up with it?
Or could Yuki have meant that we should carry
the packages ourselves "in our hands."
We could do that.
[sighs]
If we could get Donna away from the truck doors.
Jax, what do we know about her?
Donna Dunsmore.
One of three triplets.
Right-handed. Business woman.
Loves her truck, garlic noodles,
bird-watching, and--
Wait! That's it!
We're both in the Harmony Harbor Birdwatchers Society.
And I happen to know the one bird Donna's always wanted to see
is the Red Breasted Purple-Crested Puffleg.
And that helps us how?
I can do its call.
I'll lead her into those trees so you can deliver her packages.
Good luck, Niah.
We're all counting on you.
[Niah grunts]
[sighs]
- [Niah imitates bird call] - Huh?
[imitates bird call]
A Red Breasted Purple-Crested Puffleg!
Now?
[Niah imitates bird call]
[frustrated groans]
I can be on hold in the woods!
Keep singing!
[pants] Mama's coming!
Wow...
Behold, the Rescue Robot.
He looks pretty big.
That's your mom's special package?
Yep. But I'll bet every package in here is special to someone.
So, let's get started.
Zenko...
[all] Go!
[buzzes]
[gasps] Yes!
Pretty psyched about that new toaster, huh, Mrs--
Whoa!
Hodges.
[grunts]
And action!
[grunts]
Huh?
Hey.
My new microscope.
[chuckling] Yes!
Oh, that Donna is good.
And scene!
[girl gasps]
Awesome!
Couldn't have said it better myself.
[snores]
[yawns]
Huh? [gasps]
[Jax] On your left.
[imitates bird call]
Here, birdie-birdie.
[imitates bird call]
Maybe I should head back.
[imitates bird call]
On the other hand, I am still on hold.
Bird, hi!
Hello?
[sing-songy] I am good.
[Donna] There it is!
Look at that beauty!
Oh, I mean, what are the chances?
[cheeps]
Ugh, I'm too good.
Birdie-birdie-birdie-birdie!
Aha!
[all grunting]
Guys, we have a problem.
I called a real Red Breasted Purple-Crested Puffleg.
Donna's gonna be back soon.
We have a problem too.
It's too big.
We can barely move it.
No way we can get this to your mom's store--
Whoa!
Without someone seeing us.
Oh, wow.
Are we gonna fail a Zenko?
Hey, remember what Yuki says,
"The noodle bowl isn't over till the last slurp."
Did Yuki really say that?
Who knows? Maybe.
Yuki has a lot of weird sayings.
True.
[gasps]
You know what else Yuki has?
[all] A truck!
[beeps horn]
- Auntie Yuki! Ari? - Hi, Mom.
Remember how I said I had a surprise?
A food truck for our sale tonight?
Awesome!
I could make all sorts of special noodles.
Take a look at my menu.
Ooh!
[gasps] Oh!
[all grunt]
Oh, this is a popular item.
- Mm-hmm... - Yeah...
Hey, Mom. When did the Rescue Robot get here?
[sighs] It didn't.
[gasps]
- Quadruple awesome! - Quadruple awesome!
That Donna is great at delivering.
[upbeat music playing]
You got it.
Oh, hey!
[chuckling] Great to see you.
You guys are awesome.
Look at all the happy people.
Good job, team.
Oh, I had the craziest day.
Oh, Donna!
Thank you for delivering my robot statue.
And my microscope.
And my cool shades. [grunts]
Which I probably shouldn't wear at night.
Yeah, but see, my truck broke down, so I didn't act--
Have your garlic noodles at lunch?
Ooh, that's right.
And, Mom, you gotta get back in there with your customers.
[chuckles] Oh! You're right.
[all] Phew!
[chuckling] Well, I'm glad everyone's happy.
But I have no idea how their stuff got delivered.
Yeah, that is a mystery.
Well, that's Harmony Harbor for ya!

Hey, what's wrong, Lula?
My pet, Whiskers, went up in the tree and he won't come down.
Can you help me?
Of course, I'll help you.
[grunts]
[yelps]
[grunts]
- Whoa! - [yelps]
Okay, new idea.
Balloons!
Big floaty balloons will take me right up.
What could possibly go wrong?
[stammering] A lot!
A lot could go wrong!
[sighs] Okay,
I think it's time for Team Zenko Go to get Whiskers
out of that tree before Lula does something crazy.
Careful,
just a little bit goes a long way.
[gongs]
[chitters]
Uh... [relieved sighs]
[gasps]
That's okay.
We'll just change today's lunch special to really,

Team Zenko Go!
We heard the gong. What's gone wrong?
Lula's pet, Whiskers, is stuck up in a tree
and we need to get him down.
Rescue a cat up a tree?
Classic superhero good deed stuff.
I'm in.
Jax, what do you know about Lula?
Lula LeBlanc. Five-years-old.
Super positive attitude.
Left foot one half size larger than the right.
Favorite color, glitter.
Hmm, don't see anything about a cat. Must be new.
Well, we have to rescue him before Lula
tries to fly up into the tree using balloons.
That sounds awesome!
I mean, awesomely dangerous.
We need to get that cat fast.
Getting up in that tree won't be easy.
I've already tried.
Then we'll need these.
Noodle ropes.
[gasps]
Water bottles.
What? Gotta stay hydrated.
And a nice piece of tuna.
[chitters] Ta-da!
For lunch?
For the cat.
- Good call! - Gotcha!
- Of course. - Check!
Good luck, team.
And remember, no matter how much extra spice
someone accidentally dumps into your noodle pot,
you can always change the recipe.
Right, Ponzu?
[chuckles]
Then it's time to...
[all] Zenko Go!
I don't see a cat up there.
Maybe Whiskers is great at hiding. Like we are.
I'm going in.
Or should I say, up!
Noodle rope.
Good luck, E.
[grunts]
Almost forgot. Tuna me.
Got it.
Be back with Lula's cat in no time flat.
[grunts]
Ah!
Hey ya, Whiskers.
Time to go home.
I have some nice fish here for you.
Here kitty, kitty.
- [yelps] - [hisses]
[both scream]
[hisses]
[screams] Ugh!
Whiskers is not a cat.
What is he? A puppy?
- A hamster? - A walrus?
No, It wouldn't be a walrus.
Silly me, wrong climate.
- [branches snapping] - Whoa!
It's a-- stutters] Snake!
With long colorful stripes down its back?
About a foot and a half long?
How did you know?
That looks like a garter snake.
Totally harmless.
Friendly even!
[Yuki] Ellie, I saw you fall out of the tree.
Are you okay?
Yes, but Whiskers is not a cute little kitty.
He's a super scary--
Friendly and harmless.
Snake!
[chitters]
[shudders]
Snake or kitty, you still have a mission.
Do we? I mean, we did get Whiskers down out of the tree.
[chitters]
- She does not have a good point. - [blows raspberry]
But, Ellie, we need to go find him for Lula.
Even if we do find him,
I'm afraid to touch him.
You can borrow my Grabinator.
It does the grabbing so you don't have to.
Thanks, Ari.
Nothing to be afraid of now, right?
[chuckles nervously, gulps]
Just getting caught by Lula. Look!
Team, you need to split up and look for Whiskers.
I'll deal with Lula.
Hold on, Whiskers.
I'm coming!
Or not.
Hmm... I really thought that was going to work.
Hi, Lula. Let me guess. Pet snake caught up in a tree?
Yes!
And since my balloon idea didn't work,
I need to think of a new way to get up there
and save my Whiskers.
You know what helps me when I need to noodle a problem?
- Noodles! - Ah...
Come on, I'll make you a bowl and we can figure this out.
Well, I do think better on a full stomach.
- Well, who doesn't? - [chitters]
Whee!
There! On that trash can!
[purring]
Can you get him? You're closer.
I am?
[chuckles nervously]
- [trills, hisses] - [gasps]
Ellie! Incoming snake!
Ew, eek, get it, grabby gadget!
[grunts]
[trills]
- Whiskers? - Wait, no! Wrong way!
[Ari sighs]
No Whiskers.
[gasps]
What is it?
This should be in the recycling bin.
Green's the new cool, man.
[Mr. Tanaka humming]
Jax, look, the snake.
It's heading into the community center.
[humming]
We need to get Whiskers super sneaky style.
[both whispering] Zenko Go!
- [creaks] - [gasps]
Huh?
Mm-hm.
Huh?
Where'd he go?
We lost him.
There's no way of knowing where Whiskers has gone now.
There's one way.
To find the snake,
I must become the snake.
It is the role I was meant to play.
I'm a snake.
Down here with my little snake body,
the world is big and kinda scary.
Especially if someone bigger than me gets right up in my face.
[screams]
I'd be so scared, I'd go and hide.
By an orange trash can.
And a basketball...
But why?
Unless... [gasps]
[all] It's the color of Lula's hair!
Or he loves sports equipment.
But it's probably the color thing. [chuckles]
Where do we find some orange around here?
There's the pumpkin patch.
The "Everything's Orange" store over on Mandarin Street.
But the last place we saw him was at the community center,
- right? - Right.
Then, I know someplace closer where he might be.
There!
[trills]
Yes!
You want me to handle this, E?
Thanks, Jax.
I need to do this myself.
But I'll take your Facts About Folks book.
[sighs]
Hey there, fellow snake.
[hisses]
Sorry I scared you earlier.
I was scared of you too but now that I know you,
I'm not so scared anymore.
I know why you like orange things.
They remind you of your best buddy, Lula,
and her orange hair.
[squeals]
Come on, Whiskers.
Let's go find Lula, together.
Way to go, E.
Thanks. I'm not scared.
Not at all.
Let's get out of our mission gear and get this little guy back to Lula.
As quickly as possible, please.
Oh, hi, Yuki.
Oh, hi, kids.
Lula and I were just finalizing her plan to launch herself up
into a tree to rescue her pet snake.
[chitters]
That wouldn't possibly be that snake, would it?
Whiskers!
[squeals]
I missed you so much.
[kisses]
That's Whiskers?
Huh... I would have thought that was a cat's name.
I'm so glad you're back, Whiskers.
Let's go get you some treats.
But I still want to keep a copy of those plans, just in case.
Did you see the smile on Lula's face?
That's why we do it.
Doing a Zenko is its own reward.
Good job, team.
Thanks to your great advice.
What great advice?
That thing you said about too much spice and changing the recipe.
You were saying that when things go wrong, you have to change your plan.
- Adapt. - Yeah, that's totally what I meant.
[chuckles]
[chitters]
[all laughing]
And let's not forget one other good thing that happened.
E totally got over her fear of snakes.
Yeah, I guess I did.
Eh? [chuckles]
[screams]
Well, maybe not totally.
