[Alley Gator] ♪ You leave me breathless ♪

♪ Oh-weh-oh ♪

♪ You're pretty as tulips ♪

♪ When those two lips smile-oh ♪

-Alley Gator!
-Hey. Yeah. Bwana!

[stutters] Good day, sir.

Where is my Zambinite?

We-well, oga, sorry, boss.

The thing is,
I've been preoccupied with my leafy lady.

The only preoccupation
you should have is me.

If I don't have my Zambinite immediately,
I'll have your ugly green head instead.

Yes, sir. I'll start digging.

[chuckles] My lovely lotus petal.
You're here!



My radiant reptile.

You have come to see me?
[chuckles]

No, Professor Greenthumbs is here
to use her genius to help me.

So get digging. Later, Alley Gator.

Yes, sir!

Goodbye, my green goddess.

Farewell, my gorgeous gator.

My darling daffodil... [groans]

[Greenthumbs giggles]

[clears throat] Are you done now?

Yes, sir.

These superheroes,

they keep getting in the way of my plans
to destroy Lusaka's power sources.

But once my Alley Gator
locates the Zambinite,

you can finally
put your master plan in motion.

[sighs] Villain after villain has failed
to stop these girls,

and I must find out who is behind them.

If we could just get
more advanced intel on their suits.

If it's their gear you need,
it's their gear you'll get.

After all,
these thumbs are green and sticky.

Yes! Yes!

It's time to put
a powerful woman on the job.

[horns honking]

[people chattering]

[teacher] Viscosity is defined

as a liquid's resistance to its flow.

Any questions?

Yes, Temwe.

Speaking of liquids,
may I please use the loo?

-[teacher] No, Temwe.
-[groans]

Please!

All that liquid I drank before school
is about to flow all over the floor.

[girls laughing]

Ah...

Why aren't you in class?

Uh, just coming back from the loo.

Mm.

Oh, shoot.

-My office, now.
-My office, now.

Chiti, if you paid as much attention
in chemistry as you do to food,

you would have found
the formula for eternal life.

Ah, if food were allowed in class,
Mr. Nkwashi,

I would pay more attention, sir.

Let me put it this way.

Fail your next chemistry test
and there will be no theater,

no gymnastics,
and no volunteering at Mama K's!

[gasps] But Mr. Nkwashi!

Your studies matter more
than anything else, Miss Chiti!

Including that little posse of yours
working with Mama K.

I'll do better, Mr. Nkwashi. I promise!

Can I go now, sir?

[grunting]

[door closes]

[sighs]

[groans]

[Mr. Nkwashi] Including that little posse
of yours working with Mama K.

[sighs]

[stomach rumbling]

I know. Wait! My gwazas!

Mr. Nkwashi?

Baya kwi?

He just vanished, like... smoke.

And with my gwazas!

[scoffs]
Imwe, how many other ways can I say it?

Nkwashi is Chusi. Chusi is Nkwashi.

Nkwashi Chusi is!

Temwe, forget about Mr. Nkwashi.

Right now, you need to take
chemistry class seriously.

Substances, compounds... For what?

I'll never use these things in real life.

Well, in real life you need good grades.

Hello, girls.

-Hey, Mama K.
-Mama K.

[Temwe] In real life, you need food.

Can I eat good grades?

Maybe not, but if Mr. Nkwashi
stops you from volunteering,

then pelengende, Team 4 will be broken.

Exactly my point.

That's how I know Nkwashi is Chusi.

You should've seen
the way he just appeared at my locker,

and disappeared from his office,

like smoke.

[Zee] We can talk about that later.

You need to study for your chemistry test.

[groans]

[Zee]
Mvela, an insect is able to walk on water

because of, A, surface tension,
B, capillary action, or C, viscosity.

[groans]

Too many words!

A, surface tension.

[T.O.M.I. alarm blaring]
Mama K, trouble at the park.

Saved by the T.O.M.I.

I am registering a high level
of destructive energy.

Processing data.

Suit up, girls.

-Mama K's...
-[Team 4] Team 4!

[upbeat music playing]

♪ Yeah, you already know
Mama K's Team 4, let's go ♪

-[people screaming]
-[man] The trees are alive!

The trees are alive!

They want revenge! [yelps]

[yelping]

Did we just slip
into an alternate universe?

We should've asked that question
when we first saw the talking croc.

[Mama K] Girls, clear the people out.

[man and woman screaming]

Let us get you to safety!

[grunts]

Eh, eh, eh! Move, or they'll eat you!

An emulsion
is a colloidal solution of what?

Are you serious? Now?

[Mama K] If you watch your pot,
your food will not burn.

Awe! T.O.M.I.,
bring up the girls' locations.

[T.O.M.I.] Yes, Mama K.

[Mama K groans] Girls,

the drone is down. Again!

I've lost visuals. Please be safe.

[grunting]

Stop making me hurt you!

I'm eco-friendly!

[grunts]

[gasps]

-[car alarm blaring]
-[gasps]

[yells]

A plant sucking up water
through its roots is called...

Saturation of the super root?

No! Molecules sticking together
is called...

Quality bonding time?

What? No! Get serious!

[grunts] What does oxygen bind to
during photorespiration?

Uh... Photo-who'da-whati? [grunts]

[gasps]

Ribulose bisphosphate.

[Team 4] Ati whati?

What is it, girls? What's going on?

Allow me to introduce myself.

I am Professor Greenthumbs.

Plant whisperer.

Giving plants life, and taking yours!

[Temwe] Ah. Wait.

Aren't you the girlfriend
of that creepy croc?

Don't you dare talk bad
about my boyfriend!

Get them!

[tense music playing]

Now, which of you girls will be donating
a sample to my little science project?

I'm coming for you, Greeny!

[grunts]

[yelling]

[grunts]

[panting]

[grunts]

Get me that glove. Now!

[yelps]

Got it.

[Mama K] Ah. Girls!

What is happening?

-She's getting away.
-[Monde] Stand back!

[grunts]

[grunts]

[exhales]

M-Kozo to the rescue. [laughs]

But Professor Greenthumbs got away.

But everyone is safe. Hau.

Ah. Good work, girls. Retrieve the drone

and head back to HQ.

On our way.

T-Mlilo, where's your glove?

Uh, uh...
it should be around here somewhere.

I'll find it.

[Komana sighs]

One drone down. One glove missing.

Sorry, I looked everywhere.

Ba guy, remind me
how you could be so careless.

Careless?

Ha! I was fighting a wild plant lady
and living trees while studying chemistry.

You need your glove, Temwe,
or you'll be useless in battle.

Useless? Nebo? Ah...

Nothing's more useless than chopsticks
with noodles you can't eat!

You know it calms me!

-Look at all this calmness.
-[Mama K] Girls!

Being without a mortar and pestle

doesn't mean
ati one doesn't know how to pound.

Mwa mvela.

So you want us to pound groundnuts?

I chose you
because of ma natural skills, yanu.

You can't always depend
on your gear to save you.

Use what you have.

Get creative.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have a drone to fix.

Sissy, you can make me a new glove, right?

Hm. We'll see if we have the parts.

And you will study for that test, huh?

-Mm.
-[Zee] Awe sure,

your answers were ridiculous.

[sighs] Fine.

I'll study.

[Temwe] Ahem!

Everyone, I give you
the Evil Eagle Chusi Board of Truth.

-[bleats]
-Hau, all that?

You might want to go with a shorter name.

What happened to studying?

Oh, I've been studying.

I've studied everything there is to know
about Nkwashi and Chusi.

And with this
Evil Eagle Chusi Board of Truth,

you will see what I see.

There is no Nkwashi.

There is no Chusi.

There's only one.

Nkwachusi!

-[sighs] Temwe...
-[Temwe] Ah-ah-ah!

Exhibit A. Komana.

You wanted to drop art class.
Did he let you? No!

Exhibit B. Monde.

Did he or did he not make
ba Marjorie

treat you worse than I treat
badly-made vitumbuwa?

Yes, he did.

Exhibit C. Zee.

All you did was kick
a ka ball down the hallway,

and he acted
like you destroyed a family of goats!

[bleats]

Exhibit D.

Chomps. Ah.

I'm not sure what he'll do to you,
mune, but he will do something.

Exhibit E.
He suspended me for hitting a rubbish bin!

And last but not least, Exhibit F.

The most heinous crime ever!

My tuma gwazas!

He took every last piece
of my poor, helpless, delicious gwazas.

Eh. Snap out of it, muntu wanga.

I'm sorry, Temwe, but none of this proves
your Nkwachusi theory is correct.

It just proves
you're a juvenile delinquent.

[grunts] It's him, imwe!

He disappeared from his office.

There is no way in or out
besides the door and I was there.

-He couldn't have gone past me!
-[groans]

Okay. If I give you a pack of gwazas,
will you let this go and study?

Two packs.

Okay, okay! I'll study. [groans]

[grunts]

You need help with that new glove, Komana?

[sighs]

[Greenthumbs] So now you have a glove.

I can study how their suits are powered.

Find who makes their gear.

And cut the head of this Team 4 snake!

We need to locate those girls, but where?

I know one of them needs help
with their chemistry studies.

Ah. Good to see you studying, Chiti.

Oh, yes, Mr. Nkwashi.

Study after study after study.

Hm. Nkwachusi, stealer of gwazas.

Uh-uh.

Hiya bo! How is this one ka girl
more trouble than the triplets?

Better hit the tuck shop.
Temwe's gonna need more brain food.

Mm.

Hm.

Hm?

Hm...

-[gasps]
-[door closes]

I've got you now, Nkwachusi.

-[yelps]
-My guy, what are you doing?

[sighs] Proving I'm right.

You in or out?

Um, Mr. Nkwashi?

Are you here, Mr. Nkwashi?

[exclaims] He's not here.

Eh, but... how?

I saw him go in.

I told you. Smoke!

-[toilet flushes]
-[gasps]

Looks like the only smoke here is your
Nkwachusi theory going up in flames.

But-but that proves nothing.
He could have a secret lair in the loo.

-[Zee] Let's go before we get caught.
-[yells]

-Look! Mona!
-[yelps]

[Zee] The baobab tree. It's gone!

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

-Nkwachusi.
-Professor Greenthumbs.

Okay, yes, you're right.
Professor Greenthumbs.

Come on, let's tell the other girls.

Whoa!

Our baobab tree!

Ma Greenthumbs strikes again.

But why would she come to school?

To learn things
she won't use in real life.

Ah!

I keep telling you. Nkwashi is Chusi,

and he's working
with all these tuma villains!

We're following it.

Eh, I'm not pounding this
without my mortar and pestle.

Eh, Mama K Junior, please, translation.

Team 4 time.

[upbeat music playing]

Evil Eagle Chusi.

Huh.

Could it be...

[door buzzing]

[Mama K] Nkwachusi?

[T.O.M.I.] Mama K!
Team 4 super suits have been activated.

Biorhythms indicate
they're heading into battle.

[Mama K] Ah!

Just when I need my droney!
T.O.M.I., get me their coordinates.

[door buzzing]

[groans]

Mr. Nkwashi! Muji byepi mwane?

Bulongontu mwane.

Lovely to see you.

What brings you here?
Shouldn't you be at school?

Actually, I'm here on school business.

Hm.

[Monde] What's she doing
at the abandoned Lusaka mines?

We're about to find out.

Mama K, perhaps Chiti would do better
if she stopped volunteering.

Stopped volunteering, eh?

Mr. Nkwashi, is there some other reason
you want her to stop coming here?

Children should be at school,
shouldn't they?

[scoffs] Temwe is at school. Isn't she?

Is she?

Mr. Nkwashi, if you want to whistle,
don't just purse your lips.

Blow.

Mm.

-[gasps]
-You found me.

Well done.

You never read "Hansel and Gretel"?

Ah! You could have
at least made it a trail of snacks!

Noted. Bring snacks
to battle for the little one.

[grunts]

In the meantime,
I brought you something to play with.

[laughing]

That's ka weed in your hand!

T-Mlilo, I'm not sure you
should be laughing.

Huh?

I'm simply saying

it might do Temwe some good to cut out
some of her extracurricular activities,

so she can focus on school.
She just seems...

[T.O.M.I.] GPS coordinates indicate

the girls are now outside
Lusaka's abandoned mines.

-...distracted.
-Oh.

Is she?

Well, Temwe reminds me a lot of myself
when I was her age.

Feisty. Spirited. But lacking focus.

And do you still lack focus?

Or do you have a specific goal in mind?

Eh? My only goal is to help Temwe.

[sighs] If you really want to help Temwe,

let Zee and Komana continue to tutor her.

She's been so helpful around here.
I need her... skills.

Skills?

You should know better than anyone

that little things can pack a big punch!

[shrieking sound]

[grunting]

[laughing]

-What's happening?
-My ball!

[Monde] My baton!

[Greenthumbs] Oopsie! [chuckles]

Not so super without your weapons, huh?

-What now?
-Team 4, get to safety! Fast-fast!

[Team 4 grunting]

-[T.O.M.I.] Super suits taking damage.
-[Team 4 grunting]

[T.O.M.I.] Power levels dropping.

-What are you doing to them?
-Uh...

I mean, her.

What do you mean?

[T.O.M.I.]
Power suits shutting down in five, four,

-three, two, one.
-[cackling]

Nothing but four puny, tiny, little girls...

[grunts]

...who should have stayed in school!

What's happening to us, Komana? [yelps]

-[yelling]
-[Greenthumbs cackling]

My plans are finally coming together.

With those girls out of the way,

Lusaka will be mine.

[cackling]
