Drooling Infants Awarded Perilous Emergency Rescue

Operation: D.I.A.P.E.R. is the second story in the third episode of Season 5 of Codename: Kids Next Door. It first aired on September 25, 2005 on Cartoon Network.

Information[]

Summary[]

The KND go to rescue babies from the hospital to protect them from becoming automatic adults. Numbuh 5 thinks the others are insane and tries to bring them back, but the babies themselves have other plans.

Plot[]

Numbuhs 1-4 are on a mission to save the babies from being transformed into adults at the hospital. After they return to the treehouse, they try to care for the babies, with little success. Numbuh 5 then comes in and yells at them for taking the babies, saying they were born there. She then asked Numbuh 1 if he even knows where babies come from, he replies "Of course I do, they come from baby eggs," Numbuh 5 then attempts to tell them were babies come from, but the babies start crying. Numbuh 1 blames Numbuh 5 and she leaves.

After they try to calm the babies, Numbuh 5 returns and sings them to sleep. The others then leave to avoid being scolded, and Numbuh 5 starts thinking of a way to return the babies. Later, the others return to find Numbuh 5 and the babies gone. The babies elsewhere and Numbuh 1 calls Numbuh 5 a traitor. They then find Numbuh 5 is stuck to the roof, toothless; Baby Jackson then sits up and tells Sector V his plan for him and the other babies to steal teeth so they can talk and don't have to listen to baby talk, from adults like them.

Sector V begin fighting the Ankle-Biters. Numbuh 3 tries to help one of the Ankle-Biters and successfully does so, but the Ankle-Biter knocks her out cold with a rattle. Numbuhs 1 and 5 end up cornered and alone because Numbuhs 2, 3, & 4 are captured and toothless by the infant gang and Numbuh 5 tells him to sing them to sleep. His singing is so bad it causes the Ankle-Biters to faint. They then take the babies back to the hospital, and Numbuh 1 asks Numbuh 5 where babies come from. She begins by saying, "babies come from-", then the transmission ends.

End Credits: Numbuh 1 is frozen in shock, Numbuh 2 is disgusted and says, "ugh", Numbuh 3 is running in circles, yelling, "Ew, ew, ew, ew," Numbuh 4 is also frozen and freaked out with his hair standing up on end like he's been electrocuted. Numbuh 5 is nodding seriously to them. It cuts back to Numbuh 1, who, after a minute, says, "Wait a second, that's preposterous, babies don't come from New Jersey! … They come from Philadelphia!"

Trivia[]

  • There was one moment where Numbuh 4 spat on his hands to have a good grip on the baseball to trick the viewers think he was about to take a swing at glass window (like old robbery situations) but surprisingly had the bat turn into a gun instead.
  • This episode reveals more of Numbuh 5's motherly instincts. It's also revealed that she and her sister, Cree, have an older brother.
    • This makes Numbuh 5's the only Sector V-operative to have more than one sibling, since Numbuh 1's an only child while Numbuhs 2 through 4 each have one younger sibling.
    • It is also revealed that she (and her sister, Cree) are technically aunts, because Numbuh 5 mentions having an older brother who already has kids of his own.
    • This makes her the only operative in Sector V to have more than one sibling.
  • The Ankle-Biters consider Sector V adults because they are older than them.
  • This episode marks the first use of 3D/CGI effects in the show, besides the 2x4 Technology Computer scan scenes (When the "4" sign spins during Abigail's lullaby).
  • When Abigail sings a lullaby to the Ankle Biters, her voice is just like her sister's.
  • In the closing credits to this episode, Nigel Uno saying that babies come from Philadelphia but not New Jersey may be a reference to the fact Thomas Warburton was born and raised in Philadelphia.
  • Nigel technically isn't wrong that babies come from baby eggs. They just aren't the kind of eggs he's thinking of.
  • Several of the doctors in the hospital are re-skinned versions of Mr. Boss' employees in "Operation: O.F.F.I.C.E.".
  • Numbuh 1 refers to Numbuh 2's room as the hangar.
  • Sector V last fought against a baby, Mr. B, in "Operation: C.A.B.L.E.-T.V.".
  • The Ankle Biters are the second teeth-obsessed villains to fight Sector V, after Knightbrace.
  • Sector V was surprised at where babies come from in 5 different ways:
    • Numbuh 1 was frozen in shock.
    • Numbuh 2 was disgusted and said, “Ugh,” and faints.
    • Numbuh 3 was running around saying, “Ew,”.
    • Numbuh 4 was also frozen in shock while his hair is sticking up.
    • Numbuh 5 was nodding.

Series continuity[]

Cultural References[]

  • Jackson mockingly refers to Numbuh 1 as "Sherlock", referencing the famous fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes.
  • The Ankle Biters' robot assembles similar to a number of Mech-type shows and anime, including Voltron, Super Sentai, and Power Rangers.
  • Jackson makes a reference to the movie The Shining by breaking a door and looking through, shouting "Heeeere's Jackson!" similar to "Heeeere's JOHNNY!".


Goofs[]

  • When Numbuh 5 appears in front of Numbuh 1 and 4 in Numbuh 4's room, the baby strollers are missing.
  • The formation of the strollers in Numbuh 4's room is not consistent between scenes.
  • Numbuh 5 is found glued to the S.T.O.R.K. in Numbuh 2's room, but that ship was not there when Sector V arrived to first find the babies. The ship is also not there in any other scenes without Numbuh 5 in focus.
  • The hangar doors have mysteriously opened when Jackson is chasing after Numbuh 1.
  • Nigel is shown as not being able to sing in this episode, but he sang quite well in "Operation: L.O.V.E.".
    • However, his singing might have been worse in this episode because he'd only heard Abby's lullaby once or because he was nervous.
