Cutlery's Location Uncovers Elementary Solution
[edit] Information
Summary: Numbuh 3's parents and family are invited to Number 2's house. Numbuh 2's mother is hoping to get a promotion out of this. Numbuh 2 brings the sandwich. Numbuh 2 tries to keep the sandwich for himself. Later it's revealed that the rainbow monkey is stabbed by a fork. Numbuh 2 resumes his detective position like in Operation P.I.N.K.-E.Y.E. and he wants to know who did it (but a more serious question is where would the turkey be):
- Here are the suspects and their motives and why they did not do it.
Tommy: He only stole Numbuh 2's snacks, and knew nothing about the Rainbow Monkey. So he was declared innocent when he got so scared to tell the truth.
Numbuh 3: Innocent, especially getting so angry for being accused of the forker she had flaming angry fire in her eyes. Went the fastest to go through.
Numbuh 2's Grandma: she is old and mean, didn't do it because of health problems and her age being really old.
Mrs. Gilligan: the doll was ruining her dinner, didn't do it because it would ruin her chances at impressing her boss.
Mr. Sanban: To stop his daughters "bickering" (he was actually over-reacting), didn't do it because he wants his daughters to get along.
Mrs. Sanban: Because she never had a childhood, she didn't do it because she was "powdering her nose", and bought that doll.
Mushi(the culprit): She wanted the doll all to herself, when the lights went out she hugged the doll, but it tried to let out a sigh, so she stabbed it with her fork, proved her guilt because her fork was missing. Also to prove, there was a really fat man in black-and white scene to show how she did.
After all that, Numbuh 2's house installs down gates so Mushi can't get away, and she keeps whining and trying to let go out of her father like a baby & the case(and dinner) is closed. Everybody goes to their places except Mrs. Sanban and Mrs. Galligan. Mrs. Sanban is impressed how Numbuh 2 solved it, as it was finally something interesting for her to see. Then, Hoagie's mother questions him where could the turkey have been, and soon everyone knows that Hoagie is responsible for stealing the whole turkey, and his grandmother beats him up again with her cane. (End Transmission)
- Numbuh 2 was revealed to have eaten the turkey, he let it slip when he said what the stuffing was.
- This episode ignores all the others except Operation: G.R.A.D.U.A.T.E.S., due to the fact we see The Tommy again.
- Numbuh 2's mother is much more generous and normal like other American mothers in this episode. In Operation: T.O.M.M.Y., she is more taller and
probably even more strict, since she has a deployed Chicken-Noodle Soup Cannon in Case.
- This is the third Mushi Sanban episode, the next being Operation SPANKENSTINE. Mushi Sanban also appears in Operation NUGGET.
[edit] Ending Credits
Numbuh 2's Grandma tries to find something to eat in the refridgerator, also complaining about the foods she refuses to eat before throwing them away.
