Teleplay by Mark De Angelis, Tim McKeon, Adam Peltzman
Odd Squad is put out of business by a new rival organization, Weird Team, staffed by adults and run by a man who calls himself Weird Tom (Jack McBrayer). When Olympia (Anna Cathcart), Otis (Isaac Kragten), Ms. O (Millie Davis), and Oona (Olivia Presti) realize that Weird Tom's solutions are simply covering problems up, they call for backup from the previous agents, Olive (Dalila Bela), Otto (Filip Geljo), and Oscar (Sean Michael Kyer). Eventually, the problems—most glaringly, "Daves", creatures who multiply to form double their original number—are too much for even the Odd Squad agents, and they realize they must work together with every agent as well as the Weird Team to clear up a worldwide infestation of Daves.

Special guests: Sean Cullen, Rizwan Manji, Sue Galloway, John Lutz, Keith Powell, Hannah Simone, Jack McBrayer

Running time: 66 minutes

When the entire squad is celebrating a major milestone for Ms. O (Millie Davis) (100 years working for Odd Squad), Oona (Olivia Presti), Olympia (Anna Cathcart), and Otis (Isaac Kragten) decide to use a gadget to travel back to the 1980s to see when Ms. O passed her test to be promoted (depicted in the Season 1 episode, "Totally Odd Squad".) Unfortunately, their actions change the past when they accidentally flip a number on the outside of a building upside down when returning to the present. When they return, Odd Todd (Joshua Kilimnik) is now in charge of "Todd Squad" and is forcing agents to promote oddness instead of preventing it. In order to fix their mistake, the heroes must find a new gadget to go back and fix their mistake.

Running time: 44 minutes
