Wherever you go, the Zenko-copter will find you.
Finding me and tagging me are two different things.
Whoa.
Whoa. [grunts]
[beeping]
[chuckles] Ah!
Yoo-hoo!
[grunts] Whoa!
Aw, caught me.
Okay, let's switch. I'll drive and you hide.
Careful, it's tricky to steer, even for me,
and I'm kind of a drone piloting pro.
I think I can handle--
Whoa! Whoops!
[gasps]
Whoa. Two inches lower and I would have had a buzz cut.
Over there.
Hey, what's this?
Check out this stuff.
It looks like a lost and found bin.
No way. I thought we'd already returned everything
from every lost and found in the city.
Except this one.
Right under our noses, here in the Community Center.
Looks like we found our next zenko.
Ooh, so glam. Who'd use these?
Besides me, of course.
Oh, those definitely belong to Rona.
How do you know?
Page 22 of my Facts About Folks book.
Rona loves the opera.
And those little binoculars are called opera glasses.
Hey, maybe we can use my book
to help return all the stuff today.
Love it. Let's get this show on the road.
I got this.

Team Zenko Go!
I heard the gong. What's gone wrong?
We found a lost and found
in the Community Center basement.
Who knows how long people have been missing the stuff in there?
Oh, it breaks my heart.
Well, team, sounds like your zenko's cut out for you.
[chitters]
I don't know, Ponzu.
It looks like some sort of high-tech blender.
No. It's a drone.
[beeps]
After we rescued Gabriel's, I thought we could use one.
Of course, Ari being Ari,
he added lasers and grabby things
and other cool stuff.
It flies, and it could really help the team,
so I call it the--
[chatters]
No, I don't think he calls it the Ponzu-chopper.
Actually, I call it the--
[cooing]
Yeah, I call it the Ponzu-chopper.
- [beeping] - [chitters]
[laughs]
All right, gang, we have lost stuff to return.
Yes.
Team, your zenko is to figure out who the items belong to
and get them back to their owners.
Which'll be a cinch, thanks to my little green book.
Just remember,
it is easy to miss the soup for the noodles.
So the noodles are one thing...
And the soup is another?
I'm sure we'll figure it out later.
All right, let's do it.
Team Zenko...
Go!
Let's start with an easy one.
One pair of opera glasses belonging to Rona.
Oh, remember when we used to go to the opera?
Sigh.
Before I lost my opera glasses.
[dog whines]
I do miss it so!
Oh!
[chuckles] My glasses!
Where did they come from?
Well, that's Harmony Harbor for you.
Come on, Glitsy,
let's go get those opera tickets!
- [singing operatically] - [Glitzy howling]
Yes.
[Ari] What's next?
[grunts]
An anatomy textbook.
Hmm.
Who needs to study which bone is connected to which bone?
[gasps] My Uncle Ian.
That's what you do in medical school.
You bone up on bones.
[grunts]
Huh? My anatomy textbook?
Oh, I thought I lost this.
Let me see if I remember.
Leg bone's connected to the knee bone?
Got it! Yes!
[Jax] This one's easy.
I bet it belongs to Harmony Harbor's number one gardener.
Whoa! Groovy!
My can's back.
That's Harmony Harbor for you.
[giggling]
We're down to the last item.
Very well snuggled.
But not too many drool marks.
Hmm.
Ah-ha! It must be Lula's.
It says on page 79 that she loves stuffed animals,
And also gets her bears dry-cleaned monthly.
Bingo!
We gotta return the bear to Lula's room
- before she gets home. - [Niah] On my way.
[grunts]
Huh? Whoa!
[gasps]
There are too many people. They might see me.
[gasps] This looks like a job for the Ponzu-chopper.
Good idea.
[beeps]
One bear delivery, coming right up.
Or not.
[humming]
Hmm?
- That was a lucky break. - Yes!
Better leave you here
in case your owner comes back for you, Mr. Bear.
A little snack, in case it's a while.
[all] Aw!
It wasn't even hers?
Maybe the bear belongs to another kid in town.
Or...
The answer's got to be in my book, right?
[chuckles]
I just need to find it.
Jax, it's okay if the answer isn't in there.
- We can just-- - [Jax] Wait!
Donna Dunsmore's third favorite animal is a bear.
Maybe it's hers. And look, guys.
[horn honking]
There's Donna. We can return it right now.
[grunting] Ooh!
[doorbell rings]
[truck engine starts]
Maybe she didn't see it?
[grunts]
[all] Yeah!
[engine starts]
[truck drives away]
[all sigh]
She is really focused on her work.
Here I come.
No way she can miss it this time.
Aah!
Why do you keep following me?
[all groan]
Okay, maybe it's not Donna's bear.
If it's not Donna's, whose is it?
The answer has to be in here somewhere, right? Uh...
Or maybe the answer is here.
Yes, we need to look for clues.
I played a detective in a play once.
Abigail Marder, mystery writer and master detective.
And I have the Junior Investigator merit badge.
Let's get to work.
Slightly ripped seam.
Hmm, it's been hugged a lot.
[Ellie] What's this small brown stain?
Chocolate ice cream?
[sniffs]
Actually, it smells like soy sauce.
[gasps]
Wait, this bear's Auntie Yuki's.
Who loves soy sauce more than her?
Well, besides Ponzu.
Wow, good detecting.
What do you say, Mr. Bear?
Ready to go home?
Yuki, great news.
The very last thing in the lost and found is...
Ta-da! Your teddy bear.
We knew it was yours because of the soy sauce stain.
Oh, so cute...
and so not mine.
No.
- [all groan] - What? Seriously?
Oh, if you excuse me, here comes the lunch rush.
- Ponzu, brace yourself! - [chittes]
- [indistinct chattering] - [Team Zenko sighs]
Sorry, guys.
I thought I knew everything about everyone in town,
but I guess I don't.
Well, our detective work didn't work either.
I really thought the bear was Yuki's.
Wait. Remember what Yuki said
about missing the soup for the noodles?
You get so caught up in the details,
you miss something big and obvious?
Well, I think I just saw the soup.
And by that, I mean the glasses.
[gasps] Wait a minute.
[gasps] Melvin?
Melvin, my bear!
Where on Earth did you find him?
Uh, actually, we, um...
Found him right here in the Community Center.
Really? I can't believe it.
My parents got this bear for me when I was a kid,
so I wouldn't feel weird when I had to get glasses.
Thank you so much, kids.
Oh, I missed my Melvin bear.
[all] Aw!
[sighs] Now that's Harmony Harbor for you.
Oh.
- [panting] - It's still back there.
Come on!
Whoa.
Uh-oh. Dead end.
Doesn't have to be.
[grunting]
[breathing heavily]
[grunting]
Go on without me.
No zenko left behind.
Thanks.
[yells]
I think we're safe.
[whirring]
[Niah] I gotcha.
Wow, you win again, Niah.
The third game in a row of fly and seek.
My new favorite game.
[Rodney] Whoo-hoo! I got it!
Hmm. Wonder what's going on over there.
Donna, I got my blue jay picture.
See? See? See?
Hey, guys. What's up?
You are looking at the future president
of the Harmony Harbor Bird-Watchers Society.
Ooh, slow your roll there, Rod-ster.
You've only been a member for two weeks.
[chuckles]
Still need one more picture
to make the rank of Hatchling Third Class.
Copy that.
According to the official bird-watcher's manual,
it's the yellow-crested, green-breasted puffleg.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
One of those pufflegs roosts in the big old oak tree over there.
He comes out every night.
Uh, did you say night?
You betcha.
Yellow-crested, green-breasted pufflegs are nocturnal.
- Nocturnal? - Yuppy doodle.
They only come out at night.
See you later, Mr. Almost-Hatchling-Third-Class.
Are you scared of the dark, Rodney?
Me? Scared? [chuckles] No way.
I just don't like it when there's no light,
because there could be creepy things hiding out there,
where you can't see them.
- You can do it, Rodney. - Aah!
And you don't have to stay out all night.
Just till you get the picture.
I'm not afraid to stay all night.
In fact, maybe I'll stay two nights.
If I don't get eaten by monsters.
What if they want to dip me in barbecue sauce?
I don't want to be dipped!
[screams]
Looks like the Rod-ster needs our help.

[Team] Niah!

Team Zenko Go!
We heard the gong. What's gone wrong?
Rodney needs our help.
If he wants to make Hatchling Third Class,
Rodney needs to take a picture
of a yellow-crested, green-breasted puffleg.
But he's afraid of the dark.
Even if he won't admit it.
I've got an idea.
Why don't we set up some big floodlights?
Because yellow-crested, green-breasted pufflegs
are nocturnal.
If we make it as bright as day, the puffleg won't come out.
I think what we really need to do
is help Rodney get over his fear.
It's like I always say.
Fear is like a banana.
[giggling]
You've gotta throw away the peel to get to the good stuff inside.
Hmm. What if Rodney doesn't like bananas?
First, you're missing the point.
And second, who doesn't love bananas?
Team, your zenko is to help Rodney take that photo,
even though he's afraid of the dark.
Yeah. Let's help Rodney become a Hatchling Third Class.
Team Zenko...
[all] Go!
[belches and giggles]
Flashlight, a-check.
Camera, a-check.
Cell phone, a-check.
Doughnuts, a-double-check.
I've got everything I need.
This isn't so scary after all.
- [vibrates and rings] - Aah! Whoa!
S'up, bruh?
Just wanted to make sure everything was chill.
Uh, roger that, Gabriel.
Everything is, uh, a-okay.
The eagle has landed.
Really? Where?
Eagles aren't native to this habitat.
No, "eagle" is just my code name for Rodney.
And it looks like the eagle has company.
A certain troublemaking pigeon.
Yup, Gabriel, base camp for Operation Puffleg Patrol
is fully operational.
Cool.
So, have you, like, seen Gordie the ghost yet?
Huh? There's a ghost in the park?
[screams]
I think Gordie the ghost just grabbed my doughnuts!
Uh-oh.
We gotta get those doughnuts back from Yolanda
before Rodney starts believing in ghosts.
Come on, Jax.
Come back here, you pastry pirate.
Looks like she landed on top of the bodega.
Gotta love sushi pads. Savory and sticky.
[grunts]
[cooing]
Not today, sprinkle snatcher.
- [straining] - [cooing]
[grunts]
Hey, Yolanda, look...
- [coos] - Whew.
Whoo!
[chuckles]
Too bad about the doughnuts, dude.
But Gordie probably won't come back,
unless they were cream-filled.
But cream-filled are my favorites.
Huh?
[exhales and laughs]
Here they are, right where I left them.
Because there's no such thing as Gordie the ghost.
- Is there? - Probably not.
Later, skater.
Huh?
Note to self: never listen to Gabriel.
No moon, no problem.
That's why I brought my trusty flashlight.
Dead batteries?
I've got batteries.
But how do we get them over there?
How about a slingshot?
What was that?
[whimpers]
Extra batteries?
I mean, extra batteries.
Which I always pack.
Oh, Rodney J. Dinkle,
sometimes you even amaze yourself.
As I thought. Nothing to be afraid--
How do, Rod-ster?
Aah! Donna!
[laughs nervously]
What are you doing here?
In the park? In the dark?
I just thought I'd swing by.
See if you got that puffleg picture yet.
Not yet, but, uh, quick question.
Is there such a thing as Gordie the ghost?
Oh, of course not.
[laughs] I knew it!
It's Gary the ghost.
Wait, what?
Okay. Stay calm.
You are Rodney J. Dinkle,
certified Junior Security Guard.
You've got it under control.
And there is no such thing as ghosts.
- [voice] Ba-ba-boo! - Aah! Who said "boo?"
Oh, no.
Ba-boo!
That is not funny, Mr. Mean Puffleg Bird.
Wait.
Puffleg!
Stay right there while I find my camera.
Oh, where'd it go?
Maybe Gordie took it.
Or Gary!
Or maybe they're working together!
[sobs]
That's it. I'm done.
Looks like Rodney's leaving.
And he hasn't got the picture yet.
All right, Zenkos, we've still got a chance.
Niah, you climb the tree and get Rodney's camera.
I've got a banana to peel.
Got to get out of here.
[line ringing]
- [cell phone rings] - [screams]
Hello?
Hey, Rodney. How you doing?
Terrible.
This place is dark and creepy,
and these ghosts stole my camera,
and I don't want to be a bird-watcher anymore.
You know, Rodney, a very wise person once told me
that fear is like a banana.
That's nice.
I have no idea what it means, but it sounds nice.
It means, you've got to get through the yucky stuff
to get to the good stuff.
How, exactly?
Close your eyes and take long, deep breaths.
[inhales sharply and exhales]
[Ellie] Niah's got the camera.
Oh, but that puffleg looks like it's ready to take off
at any second.
She'll never get it down to Rodney in time.
I'm sending in the Ponzu-chopper.
Moving into position for cargo transfer.
Forget about all the stuff that's gone wrong
and think about the stuff that's gone right.
You ate some tasty doughnuts.
You fixed your trusty flashlight.
- Huh? - I mean, uh...
I'm guessing.
Now, when you're ready,
I want you to open your eyes and peel that banana.
My camera!
[squawks]
- Whoa! - [camera shutters click]
I got it.
You are looking at Rodney J. Dinkle,
Hatchling Third Class.
[Yuki] Very impressive.
Especially since I used to be a little bit afraid of the dark.
But like I always say, fear is like a banana.
Oh, is that so?
Yup. I eat it for breakfast.
