Information[]

Summary[]

Numbuh 1 and Sector V are on Rainbow Monkey Island trying to take "The Code" from the Delightful Children From Down the Lane.

Plot[]

Crying Together

Numbuh 3 and Numbuh 4 cry because they thought Nigel was gone for good.

Numbuh 1 and Sector V are on Rainbow Monkey Island trying to take "The Code" from the Delightful Children. Numbuh 1 enter the Delightful Children's ship to get it. After managing to snatch it from their fingers, he radios his team to tell them the code, only to be hit in the face and falls in a hole in the bottom.

Sector V tries to save Numbuh 1, but is unable to find him for 46 minutes, they then find his clothes and become worried. Numbuh 5 says it's ok, and that Numbuh 1 just took his clothes off. About that time they hear something in the bushes and find that Numbuh 1 has became a Rainbow Monkey (both sloppy and aggressive), although the viewer doesn't see how Numbuh 1 transformed into a Rainbow Monkey. After sniffing Numbuh 2 he happily kisses him, despite the slobber and Numbuh 2 telling him to stop. Numbuh decides to get Numbuh 1 off the island before they get kissed themselves.

They take him up to the Moonbase, were Numbuh 86 points out that the first thing they need to do is pick a new leader for their sector--the others don't care they just want Numbuh 1 back. Numbuh 86 explains that all KND-sectors must have a leader, even if it's only temporary--she asks Numbuh 5 and then Numbuh 2 to take as the leader of Sector V, but they both refuse. Numbuh 4 continuously begs Numbuh 86 to make him the leader, but she ultimately ends up choosing Numbuh 3 as the new (temporary) leader of Sector V. Numbuh 3 takes control of Sector V, and orders Numbuh 1 to become human again, because he has "The Code". Numbuh 86 then freaks out asking why they didn't tell her before and demanding the scientists change him back, immediately. The KND scientists use Element L (which is just Lizzie Devine) to try to cure back Numbuh 1, but doesn't work. Numbuh 1 keeps kissing everybody he sees, Lizzie claims, "I prefer this Nigie" and they both kiss.

Soon, Sector V asks Numbuh 3 and Numbuh 86 what's so important about this code. Numbuh 86 explains that whoever finds "The Code" gets a free Rainbow Monkey keychain in a contest. Hearing this makes Numbuh 1 so angry that he yells "A KEYCHAIN?!!? You mean to tell me that I risked my life, endangered my team and spent valuable Kids Next Door resources, so you can win a stupid keychain?!" snapping back to normal. He then starts lecturing everyone that being a KND operative is serious business, not a key chain hunt, only for his sector to hug him back happily since he's back to normal; Lizzie sighs that "it was nice while it lasted".

One day, Numbuh 1 gets revenge on the DCFDTL, who have been expecting their keychain, by having his "friends" (giant real-live Rainbow Monkeys) attack them at the Delightful Mansion.

Ending Credits: Numbuh 74.239 and Numbuh 71.562 argue at each other over whose fault Numbuh 1's ape-ification was.

Trivia[]

  • Numbuh 275, a KND scientist whose real name is Jacob, was based on a boy also named Jacob, whose wish (through the Make-A-Wish Foundation) was to appear in a C:KND-episode as an operative.[1]
  • The episode's name is based on the term "feral," which means a human raised in the wild with no human interaction.
  • The 45 Minutes Later time card changed to the time card 46 Minutes Later.
  • This is the only time when Lizzie and Numbuh 1 actually kiss (although Numbuh 1 was feral at the time).
  • According to Numbuh 86, one of the rules of the KND is that all sectors must have a leader, even if the person serving as the leader is only in the position temporarily.
    • Of Numbuhs 2 thru 5, Numbuh 4 was the only who actively wanted to be the leader before Numbuh 86 appointed Numbuh 3 as the new temporary leader of Sector V. It's possible that the reason he wasn't chosen was because of the events in Operation: C.A.N.N.O.N..
  • This a rare time Numbuh 1 or any other operative scold Numbuh 86.
  • This is the last time that the final episode of a season is split into two stories.

Series continuity[]

  • Numbuh 5's revealed to have been the leader of Sector V at some point (prior to Numbuh 1 becoming the leader), which is brought up again in following episodes.
    • Fanny knows about the incident that caused Nigel to lose his hair, judging from how she reacted to Abby turning down the position.
  • This is the second episode where Numbuh 4 has strong hopes to be leader, but no one picks him, this might be because they recall when he was in charge in Operation: C.A.N.N.O.N..
  • This is the second time Kuki (although briefly) leads a mission after Operation: F.A.S.T.-F.O.O.D..
  • The real Rainbow Monkeys make their second and last appearance in the series, last seen in Operation: R.A.I.N.B.O.W.S..
  • The Kids Next Door scientists are introduced for the first time.

Cultural references[]

  • Numbuh 1 going feral is a reference to Tarzan, with Numbuh 1 being raised by Rainbow Monkeys instead of gorillas.[1]
  • Rainbow Island may also be a parody of Skull Island from King Kong.

Goofs[]

  • Bruce (of the DCFDTL) is suddenly holding a remote, but never reached for it and was holding the tablet with both hands.
  • We never see the V.E.G.G.I.E. or M.U.S.K.E.T. fall to the ground in the trap like the other weapons.
  • Numbuh 1 did not need to click his hees\ls to activate his J.E.T.A.B.O.O.T.S.
  • The temples of Constance's glasses are missing when the DCFDTL are baiting Numbuh 1 inside of the Dragonfly ship.
  • As Numbuh 1 is dropped from the Dragonfly ship, the DCFDTL walk into frame. But they were not visible in the background before this at all, so they should not have been able to get there so fast.
  • When Numbuh 4 says that Numbuh 1 has "evapomarated", the E.L.E.P.H.I.N.D.E.R. is not visible behind them. But in the next scene, it's right behind them. It also disappears when the Rainbow Monkeys make their entrance.
  • When the Rainbow Monkeys appear, Numbuh 1 clothes disappear from the ground.
  • The platform on which Numbuh 1 is caged is much higher when we first see the inside of the Moonbase compared to after Numbuh 86 learns that Numbuh 1 saw the code. After this, the platform is about the same height as the operatives.
  • Which hand Numbuh 275 uses to write on his board changes between scenes.
  • When Numbuh 1 jumps down from the platform, the computer next to the platform has disappeared.
  • The DCFDTL open their front doors outwards, but the doors have changed to inwards when the Rainbow Monkeys storm inside.
