6The episode starts off with Spyler (who had a tennis ball head) and [=CeCe=] (who looked as though she was made of blocks) trying to find something to do. When they find something, they discover that they need different items. Duck arrives and gives Spyler and [=CeCe=] four (or sometimes three) items to find, which she says in a rhyme. Spyler and [=CeCe=] then start searching for the items. After each item is found they sing their "Whoop! We Found It!" song. Duck arrives again and tells them what they have found and what they need to find in rhyme. Spyler also calls for Wheeler to take their stuff home. After all the items are found, Spyler and [=CeCe=] do their activity/task. They always find a use for every item.
