Synopsis[]
Intro: Detecting a Discovery[]
The episode begins with Bot showing Milli, Geo, and Umi-Friend his Robo-Metal Detector, which can detect metal hidden around. He demonstrates by finding a coin near some flowers. Suddenly, the Robo-Metal Detector begins to beep really fast. The source is in some bushes. Inside, the team finds a spaceship, which crash-landed in Umi City on planet Earth some time ago.
Meet Gloopy, a Friendly Alien[]
Near the spaceship, they find an orange alien named Gloopy, who is from a fun, friendly planet called Gloop. Gloopy's sad because he wants to go back home, but he can't because his spaceship is broken. The trio wants to help, but how can they help? Gloopy shows them a green crystal shaped like a star; it's a magic space star. He places it in one (1) of the empty star slots in her spaceship. The space stars give that spaceship the power to fly. However, he needs five (5) stars total to fly, and the other four (4) stars have been scattered across Umi City and Southern California after the crash-landing. Now Gloopy can't go home to his friends and family. Team Umizoomi decides to help him find the rest of his stars so he can get back home. The adventure then begins with the "Time For Action" song.
Animal Flowers?![]
The search for the stars will be hard, but not too hard; Gloopy's antenna lights up whenever it gets near a space star, and based on that, there's a space star in the Umi City Garden. However, some of the flowers are not your run-of-the-mill plants; they're growling animal flowers, each bigger and grumpier than the last. Gloopy and the team see bear blossoms blocking their path, and those grumpy bears will not let anyone go past them. Milli suggests the team instead go over them, using bouncy mushrooms with numbers on them. Those numbers indicate the number of units one can go should they bounce on that mushroom. They found one with the number two (2) on it, but they did not bounce high enough on it. But, with a little help from Umi-Friend, the team finds another mushroom with a 4 on it, which gets them over the bear blossoms. After getting a little further, they suddenly also see… lion lilies! Milli states that they need to bounce higher than before to get over those. The team gets over the lions with a 6 mushroom. After the lions, they use a 7 mushroom to get over tiger daisies, and then a 10 mushroom to get over panther posies! Once the team makes it over all the tall growling flowers, Gloopy finds the second space star at the end of the garden, completing the first part of the mission!
Balance Beams[]
According to Gloopy's antenna, the third space star is in the construction site. The team then uses their Umi-Goggles to look around the construction site for the space star. They find it at the top of a building under construction, which is really high. However, that does not stop the team, because Bot found a few red beams of different lengths hanging from different cranes. He tries to bounce up to the star by jumping from beam to beam, but the first beam loses its balance when he steps on it, until he stands in the middle. In this case, he stood on the number two (2) in a beam that measures from zero (0) to four (4). To get to the next level, he jumps onto a three (3) on the second beam, which measures from zero (0) to six (6). Bot then jumps onto a four (4) on a beam that measures to eight (8), and then a five (5) on a beam that measures to ten (10). After having bounced all the way to the level of the space star, he grabs it with his extend-o arms and takes it back down to Gloopy with the last beam. Now, they are halfway through their quest to get Gloopy ready to go home!
Halfway Point and Beyond[]
So far, Team Umizoomi has found two (2) of the four (4) missing space stars. Bot then gets an interstellar video call from planet Gloop, where Gloopy's family is wondering where he is. Gloopy really misses his family, but the team then makes a charming promise to Gloopy to stay with him until he can get home safely. They even sing a gentle and upbeat song about getting Gloopy home to make him feel better.
Chopping and Popping[]
Gloopy's antenna glows again, and it points toward a popcorn shop. That must be where the fourth space star landed. So he and the team go in there and look around for the space star. Milli searches in a basket of buttered popcorn, and Geo and Gloopy search in caramel corn. Then, Bot dives into and searches in a basket of candy-coated popcorn (and eats one!). It appears that the space star is not in either of those areas. But then, Gloopy’s antenna lights up again, and points to a big machine called the Super Popper, which is full of popping popcorn. The team then sees the space star bouncing around in there with the popcorn, and tries to go through the tube and get it. Unfortunately, the tube can't stop releasing popcorn kernels, making it hard for the team to go through it. As a result, Milli steps in with her Pattern Power to get past all the popcorn. As she goes through the tube, she chops two (2) little popcorn kernels, and then kicks a big popcorn kernel. After following this pattern several times, Milli successfully gets the space star, and sends it back out of the machine to Gloopy. Now, there is only one (1) space star left to find!
Rocks, or Crocs? Shapes Know![]
The fifth and final space star is revealed by Gloopy's antenna to be found somewhere across a big lagoon. While the team thinks of a way to get the star back, Gloopy tries to jump on the rocks to get across. However, he gets startled by something strange about one of the rocks. It had eyes, a tail, and teeth, so it was actually a crocodile, not a rock! Geo then states that there are rocks and crocs in the lagoon, and in order to get to the space star, they must find out exactly which ones are which, and only jump on the rocks. Bot's Robot Computer says that the rocks only have two (2) triangles and a heart; items with shape combinations other than that specified, are crocs! Geo then directs Gloopy to stick with him throughout the process, as he has Super Shape Power. With a little help from Umi-Friend, they jump on all the rocks, but they have to be quick because one of the crocs is hungry for the space star! Luckily, Gloopy gets the last space star before the croc does, and then the mission is completed! They just have to put those stars back in their places on the spaceship, and then it will be ready to go!
Conclusion: The Final Departure & Gloopy's Farewell[]
Once the sunset begins and Team Umizoomi makes it to the spaceship, they work together to put all four (4) space stars back in their places, and then Gloopy's spaceship gets fixed! Now, Gloopy can fly home to his family. Before he goes, Geo gives him a souvenir to remember his adventure on Earth - a glowing crescent from Geo's shape belt. Gloopy loves it, and is glad the team helped him fix his spaceship and unlock his way home again! He then takes off while Team Umizoomi grants him farewell! Bot then calls planet Gloop and sees that Gloopy is glad to be back home with his family! They even join in on the Crazy Shake before the team signs off, ending the episode.
