Identity
Suddenly
Sixteen
One dark and stormy night in the tree house, Numbuh 2's completes his latest experiment, which involves creating a new breed of super hamsters, unfortunately, Joaquin, his test subject, flees just as he activates his machine, only to be caught in its beam when he attempts to chase after Joaquin! The experiment alters Numbuh 2' body, growing and aging him up to a teenager! When he goes to seek help from the rest of Sector V, they unfortunately do not recognize him, and instead open fire on him until Numbuh 4 manages to secure him with a yo-yo gun before sending him spinning out of the tree house and onto the ground below! Things couldn't look ANY worse for poor Numbuh 2, that is of course, until Cree Lincoln arrives...
Date of Mission: November 7, 2003
Now loading tropes:
- Comically Missing the Point: When "Hank" changes back into Numbuh 2 in full view of Cree for the first time, she shrieks "Somebody's turned you into that fat slob Hoagie Gilligan!"
- Dramatic Irony: The entirety of the episode is watching Cree and the KND react to Numbuh 2 and "Hank", unaware they are one and the same.
- Empathic Environment: Every time things start to go wrong for Numbuh 2, a storm suddenly appears.
- Everyone Has Standards: "Hank" (Numbuh 2) is rendered stunned with infatuation whenever Cree gives him a kiss. But neither Cree nor her kisses have any sway when his friends (specifically Numbuh 5) are harmed by her. Hank/Numbuh 2 even lampshades this, if framed in one of his lame puns.Hank: (seriously) Your kisses may be sweet Cree, but attacking my friends makes me sour...
- Foreshadowing: Cree brags to her sister about knowing all her moves, since she taught them to her before becoming a Teen Ninja. 10 episodes later, it’s revealed she was once a KND operative.
- Human Hammer-Throw: Cree defeats Numbuh 5 by flinging her into a wall this way.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Too many uses of the teenager ray cause the KND treehouse to lose power and be vulnerable to enemy attack, thanks to Numbuh 2.
- Running Gag: Numbuh 2 repeatedly returning to the treehouse to turn into Hank, activating the teen alert system and getting thrown out of the tree house by the rest of Sector V.
- Sand In My Eyes: Numbuh 2 tears up at seeing Cree arrested but shrugs it off as something in his eye when Numbuh 4 points it out.
- Sequel Hook: The episode ends with the reveal that Cree meant to be arrested and taken to Moon Base, which Father is pleased at.
- Ship Tease: As Cree is being apprehended by the KND to be taken to Moonbase, Numbuh 5 promises her that she'll keep her CDs and her boyfriend nice and safe. Seems like Abby's really happy that she has Hoagie to herself now...
- Shout-Out: After Cree is captured and being sent to Moon Base, Father once again delivers a variation on Palpatine, this time after she allowed herself to be caught.
