Otto then states that his motivation wasn't keeping Olive back, but rather, it was getting rid of [[EvilGenius Odd Todd]] for good.

* OnceMoreWithClarity: The first time we see Otto at the Bears' basketball game, he is shown looking disheartened that Olive wasn't able to make it, and when Larry spots him with his head down and asks him if he's okay, he says that he has to go talk to someone. Near the climax of the episode, when Ohlm confronts Otto about working with Odd Todd, we see what really happened via [[{{Flashback}} Flashbacks]]: Olive did make it to the basketball game, but was late, and it was then that Otto informed her of his meetup with Odd Todd earlier that day. Olive suggested that she and Otto talk to Ms. O, but when the pair begin to leave, Otto asks her to wait up as he ties his shoes, hence why his head was bent down. He and Olive then went to Ms. O, where she, Oscar, Otto and Olive formulated a plan to stop Odd Todd for good, using gadgets that Oscar invented that allowed the ability to shapeshift into various odd creatures. Otto then states that his motivation wasn't keeping Olive back, but rather, it was getting rid of [[EvilGenius Odd Todd]] for good.

* MoodWhiplash: Double-subverted and played for laughs when Olive goes from telling Otto how excited she is, to being completely serious as she asks Ms. O if the skirt is required or if pants are an option, then back to being excited as she departs from the office while bouncing up and downexcitedly.excitedly.
* TheMovingExperience: The episode has shades of this -- the precinct that Olive is moving to is in the next town over and isn't far; Otto knows this, but Odd Todd convinces him that if Olive moves away, he'll never see her again, and attempts to convince Otto to join him in order to hold Olive back from moving. Otto does, but it's revealed near the climax that Otto has come to terms with Olive moving away and him joining Odd Todd was done to permanently get rid of him. By the end of the episode, he gets to be a Co-Director alongside Olive in the same precinct.

'''''O is Not For Over'''''
'''Airdates:''' May 30, 2016 / June 20, 2016 [[note]]PBS Kids premiere; re-aired on June 20 as Part 1 of the "Odd Squad: Agents of Change" special[[/note]], December 8, 2015 [[note]]TVO Kids premiere[[/note]], October 4, 2015 [[note]]ICI Radio-Canada premiere[[/note]]
Olive and Otto face their biggest challenge yet. Olive is given her own Odd Squad to run and Otto gets a new partner, but the changes don't sit well with Odd Todd or Otto.
----
!!Tropes:
* {{Adorkable}}: Olive is on fine form, [[{{Squee}} squeeing]] and jumping up and down excitedly as soon as she realizes she's promoted to Ms. O.
* AmbiguousTimePeriod: Averted; this episode outright confirms that the entirety of Season 1 takes place in a year.
* AndTheAdventureContinues: Shortly after Olive and Otto leave for their precinct, two new agents -- their replacements -- arrive in Precinct 13579. Their identities aren't confirmed until the next episode, "First Day".
* BigYes: Olive's response when Ms. O offers for her to run her own Odd Squad precinct, natch (this is her dream, after all).
* BittersweetEnding: Olive and Otto leaving the show indefinitely was something that tugged at a lot of fans' heartstrings, despite their brief cameo in "First Day".
* BookEnds: Two that both correlate to [[Recap/OddSquadS1E1ZeroEffectBadLuckBears the first episode of the show.]]
** In "Zero Effect", Olive remarks that it's a quiet day at the Squad when she and Otto walk in and see all of the various oddities occurring. In this episode, she says the line again, only with dangerous creatures roaming around and destroying Headquarters.
** At the end of the episode, Oscar points out that Otto invited everyone to his 11th birthday party, mirroring the plot of "Zero Effect" which had him celebrating his 10th birthday.
* CallBack: Ms. O brings up [[Recap/OddSquadS1E14TheJackiesInvasionOfTheBodySwitchers her feud with Orville,]] and says that they've now made up.
* ContinuityNod: Ms. O is seen re-enacting the Hydraclops battle in [[Recap/OddSquadS1E17RiseOfTheHydraclopsOIsNotForOld "Rise of the Hydraclops"]] with papercraft versions of her, Olaf, and the rest of the Main 4, as well as a papercraft version of the Hydraclops itself.
* TheDitz: Ohlm. Oh ''so'' much. [[ObfuscatingStupidity Little does Otto know, however...]]
* DontCelebrateJustYet: Everyone in the precinct celebrates Odd Todd's defeat, up until it's revealed that Otto let out all of the creatures from all of the doors in the process, leading up to the ultimate battle.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: Otto has to go through hell and back throughout the episode as he struggles to cope with his partner and best friend moving on without him, but after working hard to permanently defeat the one person who made her suffer the most and all of the creatures he inadvertently released into Headquarters, he gets to be promoted to a Director and go with Olive.
* EasilyForgiven: Despite Orville being a {{Jerkass}} who has engaged in UnsportsmanlikeGloating during the Jackie Awards since the caveman times, Ms. O is willing to set all of it behind her and make amends with him.
* TheFellowshipHasEnded: This episode puts an end to the Main 4, as Olive and Otto leave for another precinct. However, two new agents soon take their place, and they, along with Ms. O and Oscar, form a new Main 4.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Shortly after getting promoted to Director, Otto asks if, since he and Olive are Mr. and Ms. O, they have to be married to each other. Olive's response is pure shock and horror as she tells him not to make it weird. In Canada, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_marriage#Americas Child marriage]] is punishable by up to 5 years in prison, and if either the bride, groom or both are under the age of 16 (the minimum marriageable age, though not the age of majority; that's 18-19), they cannot be wed.
* GroupHug: The Main 4 all share one shortly before Olive and Otto's departure. This would kick off a finale tradition that carried into Season 2's finale, and later Season 3's.
* HatesWearingDresses: Olive doesn't like the skirt that comes with her female Director's outfit, and as soon as she's promoted, she's quick to ask if she has to wear it. By the end of the episode, she's shown wearing pants instead of the usual skirt.
* InstantCostumeChange: The Ms. O-inator has the ability to turn any person's clothes into the attire that female Odd Squad Directors wear. The Mr. O-inator does the same thing, except it turns a person's clothes into a male Odd Squad Director's attire (with the differences being pants and a tie instead of a skirt and a necklace).
* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: Ohlm tells Otto to pronounce his name "Ohlm", like how it's spelled. What follows is Otto saying his name correctly, only for Ohlm to correct him. [[InsaneTrollLogic And then Ohlm tells him that he's not pronouncing the K.]]
--> '''Otto:''' What "K"? ''[to Ms. O]'' What's happening?
* LiteralMetaphor: Ms. O tells Otto that she and Orville's rivalry is "water under the bridge." She presses a button on her remote, and the screen behind her shows an actual bridge with water under it.
* LosingYourHead: Inverted for Sheila; her head is gone, but she is still able to move the rest of her body.
* MediumAwareness: While there have been numerous moments of characters BreakingTheFourthWall throughout the show (not to mention the many [[ThemeTuneCameo Theme Tune Cameos]] in the form of the badge phone ringtones and other comedy gags), this episode heavily implies, if not outright confirms that Olive and Otto are well aware of their statuses as characters on a TV show. It's only cemented further by Olive's AsideComment to the director ("Don't worry, he's a professional") and Otto shouting out his actions the way actors do on set when making his way to Sheila to restore her head. The ''Odd Squad Agent's Handbook'' would later reveal that Ms. O herself is aware she's in a TV show as well, as she was approached by [[UsefulNotes/{{Television}} Philo T. Farnsworth]] in 1927 about making a show, only for her to suggest he try again in 87 years, 2014 -- the year that the show first premiered.
* MoodWhiplash: Double-subverted and played for laughs when Olive goes from telling Otto how excited she is, to being completely serious as she asks Ms. O if the skirt is required or if pants are an option, then back to being excited as she departs from the office bouncing up and down excitedly.
* MultiPartEpisode: The final one of Season 1.
* ThePlan: Once Otto informs the rest of the Main 4 of Odd Todd's resurgence, they form a plan in order to oust him for good: have Otto turn to his side, become his temporary minion, and follow the ex-agent's own agenda of destroying Headquarters by releasing every creature inside of it (which are the agents in disguise). It ends up working, and the sheer amount of creatures released overwhelms Odd Todd and causes him to make a hasty escape.
* PutOnABus: Olive and Otto leave to become co-Directors in another town's precinct. By extension, their actors, Dalila Bela and Filip Geljo, also leave the show, although they would return two final times: as cameos in "First Day", and for TheMovie. (Dalila Bela would also reprise her role as Olive for the [[CharacterBlog [=OddTube=]]] episode "Interview with Olive" before officially departing from the show.)
* PyrrhicVictory: Odd Squad ends up winning the fight against the released creatures, but it comes at the cost of having their headquarters mostly destroyed. It's downplayed, however, as according to "First Day", cleanup didn't take that long, and some new places were added to boot.
* RankUp: Olive gets promoted to Director of Orville's precinct in his place, and the episode primarily around how Otto is handling the news. By the end of the episode, he gets promoted to Director alongside Olive.
* Really700YearsOld: It's revealed that, like Ms. O, Orville is ''millennia'' old, and has served Odd Squad as a Director for 2,000 years.
* RunningGagged: This episode resolves the "If Sheila could see me now" RunningGag -- "Sheila" turns out to be a woman starring in an Odd Squad knockoff show known as the Bizarre Brigade, and has a missing head for an odd problem. Olive and Otto show up on set and manage to restore her head, meaning that Sheila can see people now.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Odd Todd pulls this when he quickly becomes overwhelmed by all of the odd creatures advancing on him and Otto. This effectively becomes his defeat, as by his next appearance, he is fully reformed.
* SeasonFinale: For Season 1.
* SeriesFauxnale: Similar to the ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012'' example on the trope page, this show also carries the "write every season finale as though it will be the GrandFinale" policy, and "O is Not For Over" is no exception [[NeverTrustATitle (despite the title)]]. When Season 2 was greenlit by Creator/PBSKids, "First Day" became a sequel to this episode.
* SillyWalk: Olive doesn't exit Ms. O's office by walking normally -- she ''bounces'', with enough excitement that could give [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Pinkie Pie]] a run for her money. Otto even tries to follow her as she goes up and down.
* SpiritualAntithesis: An in-universe example -- ''Bizarre Brigade'' is essentially ''Odd Squad'' but with a limited set, and adults instead of kids as the core cast.
* StealthHiBye: Ohlm manages to do this as soon as Olive leaves Ms. O's office, appearing right beside Otto.
* [[invoked]] TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: Implied with ''Bizarre Brigade,'' which is exactly like ''Odd Squad'', only with an adult cast instead of kids. [[MediumAwareness Olive even suggests to the director that]] ''[[MediumAwareness Bizarre Brigade]]'' [[MediumAwareness might work better with a cast of kids and not adults.]]
* StudioAudience: Otto's act of restoring Sheila's head is met with a round of applause from all of the cast and crew in the studio, with some giving Otto high-fives. Olive responds to the applause in kind before she and her partner leave:
--> '''Olive:''' Have a great day, everyone! Thank you!
* TakeThat: Otto asking Olive if the two of them have to be married, and Olive's horrified reaction, can be seen as criticism aimed at fans who [[{{Shipping ship]] the two.
* WhamEpisode: It's a SeasonFinale, what did you expect?
** Olive gets promoted to Odd Squad Director of the precinct that Orville runs. By the end of the episode, Otto gets promoted to co-Director alongside her.
** Odd Todd preys on Otto's emotions regarding Olive's RankUp in order to coerce him into being on his side. It ends up working for a time, but he soon becomes overwhelmed when Otto releases every creature into Headquarters and makes his escape. It turns out to be a ploy put together by the Main 4 and the other agents of the precinct, having disguised themselves as creatures. This marks the end of his villainy, as "Mid-Day in the Garden of Good and Odd" shows him reformed as a gardener, having made a HeelFaceTurn.

* RankUp: Olive gets promoted to Director of Orville's precinct in his place, and the episode primarily around how Otto is handling the news. By the end of the episode, he gets promoted to Director alongside Olive.
* Really700YearsOld: It's revealed that, like Ms. O, Orville is ''millennia'' old, and has served Odd Squad as a Director for 2,000 years.
* RunningGagged: This episode resolves the "If Sheila could see me now" RunningGag -- "Sheila" turns out to be a woman starring in an Odd Squad knockoff show known as the Bizarre Brigade, and has a missing head for an odd problem. Olive and Otto show up on set and manage to restore her head, meaning that Sheila can see people now.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Odd Todd pulls this when he quickly becomes overwhelmed by all of the odd creatures advancing on him and Otto. This effectively becomes his defeat, as by his next appearance, he is fully reformed.
* SeasonFinale: For Season 1.
* SeriesFauxnale: Similar to the ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012'' example on the trope page, this show also carries the "write every season finale as though it will be the GrandFinale" policy, and "O is Not For Over" is no exception [[NeverTrustATitle (despite the title)]]. When Season 2 was greenlit by Creator/PBSKids, "First Day" became a sequel to this episode.
* SillyWalk: Olive doesn't exit Ms. O's office by walking normally -- she ''bounces'', with enough excitement that could give [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Pinkie Pie]] a run for her money. Otto even tries to follow her as she goes up and down.
* SpiritualAntithesis: An in-universe example -- ''Bizarre Brigade'' is essentially ''Odd Squad'' but with a limited set, and adults instead of kids as the core cast.
* StealthHiBye: Ohlm manages to do this as soon as Olive leaves Ms. O's office, appearing right beside Otto.
* [[invoked]] TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: Implied with ''Bizarre Brigade,'' which is exactly like ''Odd Squad'', only with an adult cast instead of kids. [[MediumAwareness Olive even suggests to the director that]] ''[[MediumAwareness Bizarre Brigade]]'' [[MediumAwareness might work better with a cast of kids and not adults.]]
* StudioAudience: Otto's act of restoring Sheila's head is met with a round of applause from all of the cast and crew in the studio, with some giving Otto high-fives. Olive responds to the applause in kind before she and her partner leave:
--> '''Olive:''' Have a great day, everyone! Thank you!
* TakeThat: Otto asking Olive if the two of them have to be married, and Olive's horrified reaction, can be seen as criticism aimed at fans who [[{{Shipping ship]] the two.
* WhamEpisode: It's a SeasonFinale, what did you expect?
** Olive gets promoted to Odd Squad Director of the precinct that Orville runs. By the end of the episode, Otto gets promoted to co-Director alongside her.
** Odd Todd preys on Otto's emotions regarding Olive's RankUp in order to coerce him into being on his side. It ends up working for a time, but he soon becomes overwhelmed when Otto releases every creature into Headquarters and makes his escape. It turns out to be a ploy put together by the Main 4 and the other agents of the precinct, having disguised themselves as creatures. This marks the end of his villainy, as "Mid-Day in the Garden of Good and Odd" shows him reformed as a gardener, having made a HeelFaceTurn.
