Hands Off Thermostat Says The Upset Father Furiously

Information

Summary:

Before the theme starts, Mr. Sanban tells Numbuh 3 not to touch the thermostat, which controls the heat in Kuki's house. After seeing the thermostat's temperature dropping to colder temperature, Kuki decides to touch the thermostat and make things hotter.

Later, the other Sector V agents are gathered for a meeting. Numbuh 1 goes jabbering on about cauliflower being rainbow monkey brains. The rest of Sector V doubted this and, while Nigel jabbers on, Mr. Sanban comes in and tells the agents about Numbuh 3 turning up the thermostat. Numbuh 1 leaves Numbuh 4 to guard Mr. Sanban. Sector V shows up to Numbuh 3's house. Numbuh 362 suggests sending Sector P in Pompeii to turn down the thermostat as they have more experience with volcanoes. Numbuh 1 disapproves of this. Kuki's house seems to be like a volcano inside and out. Meanwhile, as a joke, Mr. Sanban acts like a kid and Numbuh 4 acts like a adult while in the treehouse. The KND H.O.T.S.H.O.T. surfs in the volcanic magma of Kuki's house.

After a stalagtite invasion, Sector V finally reaches the living room where a demonic Numbuh 3 battles Numbuh 2 and 5 while Nigel tries to turn down the thermostat. Numbuh 1 attempts to touch the cooler button while Numbuh 3 hangs off his back. It's unconcluded as we leave Numbuh 1 to look at Mr. Sanban who's sweaty and discovers something. Numbuh 4 comes in the room and shouts, "No, don't touch that!"

It is revealed that Sector V is revealed victorious. Numbuh 4 then comes in the cheering crowds of kids and says that Mr. Sanban found the thermostat. Numbuh 2 asked how cold it could be. The end of this episode shows the treehouse trapped in a giant ice cube.
