A Most Intriguing Question

A Most Surprising Answer

Summary

Bernard, Tom, and Connie get the feeling Whit is up to something when they find out he's been spending all night working on the Imagination Station and a visitor from the department of health pays him a visit.

Plot

Something big is happening in Odyssey! Whit seems to be tired & cranky. He blows past Tom and Bernard in his car without even waving. And then Imagination Station is left on overnight! To add to the drama, a strange man from the government has shown up in Odyssey. What could be going on? What does this man want and what is wrong with Whit?!

Out of concern for his well being, Tom, Bernard and Connie begin to investigate the recent mysterious happenings. They have equated Whit’s behavior to a mad scientist who will soon have bolts coming out of his neck. Every time they try to talk to him about what’s going on, he seems to get crankier about the situation.

Eventually, the three sneak into Whit’s End at four in the morning to try to solve the mystery. What they find is someone in the Imagination Station. They assume it is Whit and fear he is experimenting on himself. They are about to shut down the machine when Whit surprises them by stepping into the room! He asks them to leave, and the troop is escorted out of the room by none other than the man from the government. However when they reach the control room, they learn who is actually in the Imagination Station. It is none other than the long lost Eugene and his wife Katrina! Continued in #565: “A Most Surprising Answer”...

Notes

Trivia

• This show was preceded by the biggest Odyssey promotional campaign ever (at least for a single episode). For eight weeks, new clues were posted at WhitsEnd.org under the heading "Something Big is Happening." Special commercials aired on radio stations, urging fans to listen April 2. Bookstores featured banners announcing the April 2 date.
• This is the first time we actually hear Eugene in an episode since #499: “Exit” which aired in July 2002. However, it is the first time since #448: “Mandy's Debut” of May 2000 that Will Ryan has actually recorded new lines for Eugene.
• Features clips from #405: “The Graduate”, #286: “Tom for Mayor, Part 1”, and #4: “Connie Comes to Town”.
