Overview[]

Nigel wakes up and finds himself not only an adult but the President of the United States. Being forced to sign a bill designated in destroying the Kids Next Door once and for all, he escapes and attempts to find a way to return to his younger self. But who can he trust when his own friends, also adults, are against him?

Synopsis[]

Nigel wakes up, looks at his clock that says '7:15 am', tries to switch off, but hits it and breaks it into pieces. He yawns and thinks that last night's party must have been wild one because he thinks his face is killing him. He walks into the bathroom, looks into the mirror, sees he's now an adult, feels the differences, and screams in terror as an adult version of Fanny and Chad, and well as other guards, run in. One of them asks "Are you okay, President Uno?" Nigel asks 'President?!', begins to panic, and says that there was some mistake; he wasn't the president. Kuki who is now his Secretary then appears and calls in a team of stylists (Numbuh VO5, Eggbert, & Matt) who put Nigel in a suit while he asks adult Numbuh 3 what's going on. She says that she's trying to tell him and rushes him off to a press conference.

Once there, reporters begin to question him about "the war against the hated Kids Next Door" and about the signing of the Bill of No Rights for KidsWallabee, who is now General Beetles, then pushes him away from the podium and tells the reporters about the plan to get rid of the KND. Nigel again panics, say that they were all KND operatives; adult Kuki then draws attention to Nigel's hair and shoos him out. In the hall, they then run into Hoagie, who is the Vice President. Then they walk into the Oval Office, and Nigel discovers he has a son named Shirley. Shirley both looks and acts like a Delightful and he is given a girl's name as Kuki explains his wife wanted a girl. Lizzie then bursts in and reveals herself to be Nigel's wife.

He is then confronted and asked to sign the Bill of No Rights for Kids, which Hoagie claims will get rid of the KND. Nigel asks what they're going to do to them, and Hoagie says it's better he doesn't know. Nigel then goes to the bathroom and escapes out the window. After a few minutes, the others begin to worry about him, and the security guards break down the door to find him gone. Wallabee then sends the army to look for him. Nigel runs till he finds Sector V's Treehouse, and easily avoids the security system. Then he is attacked by unseen KND operatives; he grabs a weapon from under the floor and beats them, but hits his head and passes out.

When he wakes up he hears the KND trying to find out how he got in. Then another operative appears, asking who broke into their treehouse, Numbuh 5000 replies "It's your dad, sir.". Nigel is then shocked to see that it's Shirley, now looking like the 10-year-old Nigel with red hair and blue eyes. He calls him Shirley, and he angrily replies that he goes by Viggo. Nigel says he would of been better off with Shirley, and the rest of Sector V laughs. Shirley/Viggo then tells him to call him Numbuh 1600. Nigel then tries to explain who he is and what happened. Numbuh 1600 doesn't believe him, saying his dad is a "kid-hating adult, who's on the verge of signing a bill that would take away the rights of every kid in this country.".

Just then Wallabee and the army are shown to of surrounded the treehouse, and Viggo blames Nigel. Nigel begins to make a plan, but Viggo stops him, calling him a jerk. Nigel then shaves his head and then begs them to believe him. They don't and two of them take him away. A minute later, Numbuh 5000 saves him, saying he would take him to Abigail, explaining she's his mother.

Abigail is in a jail for the criminally childish and seems to have gone insane. She yells at Nigel, saying he put her here so she couldn't tell anyone he used to be in the KND. He tries to explain that he's "not that Nigel" and she begins questioning him about the KND. As she is finishing, Hoagie and the security show up and begin to take him away, Abigail tells him the Washington Monument can take him home. He then goes to the bathroom and tries to escape again, but some of the windows are being guarded. He then hears banging outside, and Viggo enters, saying he believes him because nothing could have made his real dad cut his hair. Wallabee shows up and Sector V use a L.E.M.O.N.A.D.E. on him.

Nigel and Sector V go to the Washington Monument and enter into a door. Hoagie is inside and tells Nigel the monument can take him home. Hoagie tells Alternate Universe Sector V to hand over their weapons and drop it, then also tells Nigel that he doesn't belong here and explains to him that the other Nigel of their world is trap in a different universe and say that he'll send him back to his world and hopefully the other Nigel will come back to their's. He says he'll let Nigel go if he signs the Bill of No Rights For Kids. Nigel refuses and Hoagie pushed him outside. Hoagie gets angrily at Nigel to sign the bill & He Looking around Surrounded. Kuki looks at Nigel, she tell Nigel to sign the bill and Wallabee pushes Nigel's Face. Then I'm gonna kick your butt before I'll Make you Sign it! Viggo then tells him to sign it and go home and that they would be okay. Nigel still refuses, saying "I'll never betray the Kids Next Door... even if I am an adult!". Wallabee then orders the Army, Navy, Air Force, and marine animals to fire at Nigel. But when the missiles hit, Nigel emerges unharmed. Finally understanding that this is a dream, he then undergoes a Hulk-like transformation, fit with a mohawk. He destroyed all tanks & throw it on the ground then begins to beat up his foes, but in the process, ruins the Washington Monument time travel machine tower, before they start captures & piling on him.

He wakes up in the Moonbase hospital and a KND doctor comes in and says he's only been out for about ten minutes. Nigel then says "It wasn't a dream, it was more than that, some kind of test or something." The doctor soon replies "You need better hair than that to be President." They then leave the room to get cake and ice cream in Nigel Uno to get his strength back up. Two shadowed figures are then seen discussing what just happened, saying Nigel performed well, but to stop using Chester's Happy Headband so Nigel won't catch on... yet.

End Credits:[]

Nigel is explaining the dream to Sector V, ala Wizard of Oz, complete with black and white color. He then asks why they're all staring at him, and it shows him dresses as Dorothy, complete with Toto. He screams like a girl, wakes up, and says "Man, I've got to stop watching those stupid old movies."

Quotes[]

Nigel: [yawns] Oh mama. Last night, it was a party going wild. Aw, my head's killing me. [walks to the bathroom turns on the sink and washes his eyes. He looks in the mirror and discovers himself in the mirror that it turned out to be him as his adult self and screams] AHHHHHHHHHH!!! HUH?! HUH?! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! [feels the changes and screams again as the securities come. One of the agents puts Nigel in the toilet]

Secret Service Agents: All clear - All clear - All clear - All clear.

Secret Service Agent (Jock #2): [brings Nigel out the toilet] Are you alright, President Uno?

Nigel: PRESIDENT?!!!

Continuity[]

  • Adult Hoagie mentions the KND growing illegal corn dog crops, which is further explored in the comic Operation: S.M.U.G.G.L.E.
  • It's also affirmed that Numbuh 100 was still under the responsibility of supreme leader when Nigel was in basic training.
  • Numbuhs 74.239 and Infinity used Chester's Happy Headband on Numbuh 1 to create the dream, as they stated at the end of the episode in silhouette.

Pop Culture References[]

  • When General Beetles sends the Armed Forces to hunt for Nigel Uno, it is the same as General Ross setting his Hulkbuster units on Bruce Banner.
  • The scene during the credits is clearly a parody of The Wizard of Oz.
  • When Numbuh 1,600 says "Don't call me Shirley!", it's a likely reference to the movie Airplane!.
  • The plot of this episode is similar to an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation called "Future Imperfect" where Cmdr. Riker found himself in a future where he was the captain of the Enterprise.
  • Nigel in this episode resembles John F. Kennedy, and the adult Lizzie resembles Kennedy's wife Jacqueline. The adult Wallabee appears to have been modeled off Douglas MacArthur.
  • When Nigel transforms at the end of the episode it is most likely a reference to the hulk.

Trivia[]

  • This episode marks the first appearance of Numbuh Infinity, albeit offscreen, and with a distorted voice.
  • Adult versions of many kids and teenagers can be seen in this episode including, Lizzie (First Lady), Hoagie (Vice President), Kuki (Secretary), Wallabee (General of the US Military), Abigail (Prisoner), Fanny, Chad, Chuckie, Unnamed Teenage Jock #2 (Security), Eggbert Eggleston, Numbuh VO5 (Stylists), & Herbie (Military Member).
    • Fanny, Chad and Chuckie Cavallaro are members of the Secret Service, as well as an Unnamed Teenage Jock.
    • Another Hairstylist has similar characteristics with that of Numbuh 101, though the resemblance is likely coincidental.
    • The adult versions of the characters are hinted at being rather old, as both Lizzie and Wallabee have grey/greying hair.
  • The marine animals adult Wallabee uses as weapons is a parody on the Marines.
  • Nigel changes into a hulk-like creature near the end of the episode, though he has a mohawk.
  • When the army jumps on Numbuh 1 you can see one of Mr. Fizz's guards, as well as The Iguana, where it is revealed that he is able to breathe fire.
  • This is the last episode to have premiered in 2006.
  • Besides the credits, Numbuhs 2, 3, 4, and 5 only appear inside Nigel's dreams in this episode.
  • Nigel is proven to be ticklish, as he was laughing while his groomers got his suit on. This makes him the fourth member of Sector V to be revealed as ticklish. Previously, Hoagie is revealed to be ticklish in Operation: L.I.C.E., Kuki is revealed to be ticklish in Operation: G.H.O.S.T. and Wally is proven to be ticklish in Operation: H.U.G.S., making Abigail the only member of Sector V to not yet be proven ticklish.

Goofs[]

  • Besides the president, not one person would be in charge of all the military branches. In reality, Wallabee wouldn't have been able to command both the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force, though he could possibly command the Skunkie Scouts.

Clues and Hints to it Being a Dream[]

There are several things that hint to this episode being a dream before it's revealed. This includes:

  • Since Numbuh 1 is an adult in this world, his booger shouldn't have worked since he would've been decommissioned years beforehand. In theory, his booger would have since been removed from the Code Module, as in standard procedure.
  • Nigel wouldn't have been able to actually become president of the United States, since he and his family were from England. In order to be president, you have to be born in the United States; Nigel and his family lived in England until he was three.
  • Not one person is in charge of all the military branches besides the president. So Wally couldn't command the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force.
    • They also left out the coast guard which is also part of the United States Military.
  • The treehouse, the mailbox code, and its defense systems hasn't changed since Nigel was a kid (barring the peanut butter), which would be very unlikely.
  • Nigel wouldn't have been able to grow his hair back in real life, as the Delightful Children had permanently made him bald. According to Nigel himself, there is no (known) way to reverse his baldness.
  • Wallabee's hair is completely grey in this episode, even though he's the same age as Nigel, Hoagie, Kuki and Abigail.
  • Lizzie's hair has signs of turning grey in this episode, even though she's roughly the same age as Nigel and his friends.
