[edit] Operation: O.F.F.I.C.E.
[edit] Plot/Synopsis
It's "Take Your Daughter to Work Day", and yet Numbuh 4's dad is taking Numbuh 4 to work because he doesn't have a daughter. Numbuh 4 isn't thrilled about this at all, especially because he'd rather not be around girls.
They arrive at the place where Numbuh 4's father works. They pass by a parked black car, out of which Numbuh 4's father's boss, Mr. Boss, climbs. The Beetles go into the elevator, which has a bunch of girls in it. Numbuh 4 gets really annoyed by them, and is about to befall harm on one when they leave the elevator. It turns out that Numbuh 4's father works in a cubicle.
Numbuh 4 gets bored and leaves. When he's in the hallway, a stampede of girls runs though. He ducks into a door to avoid them and discovers that Mr. Boss is planning on sending all the girls to Pluto, promising to take care of the boys next week, the idea being their parents will have more time to work for him if they don't have kids to go home to. Basically, the plan is to lure them into a party room, which is really a rocket in disguise. Numbuh 4 is planning to get out of the building now that he knows the plan, but the stampede of girls comes back and he's forced into the elevator.
The elevator goes up to the highest floor, and they enter a party room, filled with Rainbow Monkeys (and various Rainbow Monkey accessories). The girls start playing and singing the "Rainbow Monkey" song. Numbuh 4 gets really panicky and tries to find some way to escape, but keeps getting interrupted by the girls. He finally finds an air shaft and is about to jump down into it when he finds... Numbuh 3? (her mother works in Accounting) She, of course, wants to save the others. Numbuh 4 reluctantly agrees to do so, but they don't pay any attention to him trying to tell them they're on their way to Pluto -- until Numbuh 4 tells them that if they go down the shaft, they'll find Rainbow Monkey video games.
The girls jump down it one by one, but it takes off just after Numbuh 3 jumps down it, leaving Numbuh 4 in the rocket! Of course, the air shaft leads to the office where Mr. Boss and his technicians are, and the girls all start messing with the computers monitoring the rocket because they think they're the video games. This has the result of making the rocket (with Numbuh 4 in it) malfunction and move in a bunch of random directions. Mr. Boss, naturally, is really, REALLY furious. Numbuh 3 finally gets there just as Mr. Boss is leaving in a huff. She starts chasing after him and he gets into the elevator, tauntingly saying that he hopes her friend likes Pluto. She pursues him using a second elevator, but when she finally gets out, he's already about to leave in his car. But then, just when the car's driving out, the rocket crashes right onto it. Numbuh 4 manages to get out. Both he and Mr. Boss are dazed. Mr. Boss screams at Numbuh 4 for ruining him and inches forward to really hurt him. But before he can, all the other girls start hugging him, and thanking him for the party.
Numbuh 4 returns to his dad's office, and he says that it turns out they're having a "Bring your son to work day" next week, too. Numbuh 4 groans.

[edit] Plot/Synopsis
The episode begins with narration by Numbuh One. Apparently the KND caught word that a mad scientist was building a machine to stop kids from ever having snow days. They decide to destroy the machine, and to help them on the mission, Moonbase sent an elite operative Numbuh 30c to join them. Numbuh 30c is dressed in a brown parka with goggles and a scarf, essentially preventing anyone from seeing his face; the scarf moves every time he talks.
Numbuh 30c leads them to a lab in the middle of the tundra, where Professor XXXL (Triple-Extra Large) is conducting research. The KND (minus Numbuh 4, who stayed back with Numbuh 30c) leave their transport, the S.N.O.W.S.U.B., to attack the lab on their S.K.E.E.B.I.K.E.'s (Super Kool Environmental Engine Bike Is Kinda Enormous). Professor XXXL, who has gone to get a drink, notices them and sends his "Minestrone Missiles", missiles full of minestrone soup, at the KND. When they fail, Professor XXXL uses his lab, the Laboratortise, to stomp Sector V into the snow. Back at the S.N.O.W.S.U.B., Numbuhs 4 and 30c receive a message by Numbuh 1 to launch the S.N.O.W.S.U.B.'s missile. Numbuh 30c fires it, but seemingly aims it wrong and hits the KND.
The KND are left naked and shivering cold in the snow, at which point they black out. When they awake, they are XXXL's lab. Numbuh 30c appears on a nearby screen, with Numbuh 4 tied and gagged in the distance. It turns out that Numbuh 30c was working for Professor Triple-Extra Large; he throws off every last bit of snowgear to reveal himself as a teenager (though his goggles and hat still hide his face)! He says his name, "Numbuh 30C" (30° Celsius), should have given him away. He explains that 30° Celsius is equivalent to 80° Fahrenheit. Numbuh 4 attacks him at that point, while the KND escape their bonds and the lab.
Numbuh 4 and 30c's fight causes the S.N.O.W.S.U.B. to crash into the Laboratortise, destroying it. Now everyone, including 30c and Professor XXXL, are left shivering in the snow. Numbuh 4 furiously demands Numbuh 30c would betray them. Numbuh 30c, crying, says it was only for a snowcone; only then is it revealed that Professor XXXL was merely trying to create "the world's perfect snowcone". The Weather Control Device was being created by another scientist, Triple-Extra Large's brother Bob, who has his own lab. The episode ends with Bob saying that his machine is complete and that kids will never have another snow day again!
