- Did a word that's important to you go missing? - And now all you can feel, do, or think is the opposite of that word? - Then call us! I'm Sly. - And I'm Gabby. We're

word detectives, and we solve word mysteries! - Word mysteries! Together we run the Wordsville Online Detective Agency. - We'll find your missing word fast. - Not to mention briskly. -

And swiftly. - Yeah, we're really good with words. - [Children] Wordsville! - I'm so excited for Vet Wilder's brand new magic show later. - Me too, I love magic tricks. And

Vet Wilder has a bunch of super cute animal assistants. - The perfect combo of awe and aw. - And to thank you for getting us the magic show tickets I've got some special surprises

magic tricks are supposed to be astonishing. - I don't know that word, I'll look it up. Astonishing means extremely surprising, amazing, spectacular, or hard to believe. - [Gabby]

Like the astonishing fact that astronauts flow in outer space. - Astonishing is an important word. I can't do my show without it, see? Ta da. Now I can't wow my audience. - With

the word astonishing missing our day will be ordinary and unimpressive. - Ordinary and unimpressive are both opposites of astonishing. - This must be why my amazing and spectacular surprises

are ruined. - We'd better solve this word mystery fast. - Vet Wilder, tell us what happened and I'll animate it. - [Vet] I was feeling nervous about my magic show, so I invited

Baker Graham and Singer Melody to watch a test run and gimme comments. I did make a few mistakes. The cat jumped outta my hat early, the pig ran off, but I had one final trick left. I put my

astonishing hat on the table and after reciting the magic words, I went into my magician's cabinet and made myself disappear. Only after my disappearing trick worked and I reappeared

my audience and my astonishing magician's hat were gone. And in place of my hat, I found... - Hmm, a dish and a green glitter pen. - [Sly] I'm saving this screenshot for our case

notes. - Please hurry, bye. - Let's get to work. - What do we know so far? - We know what happened. Someone took Vet Wilder's astonishing magician's hat, and now everything

has become boring, ordinary, and unimpressive. - We also know where it happened, at the Vet Clinic, and it happened when Vet Wilder disappeared. - The clues are a dish towel and a glittery

green pen. - [Sly] Our suspects are Baker Graham and Singer Melody. - Now we just need to find out who did it, how, and why. - Let's interview Baker Graham first. [call ringing] - Sly,

the spectacular friendship cake you ordered came out looking, unimpressive. - So that's how my first surprise for Gabby is ruined. - I'm really sorry, Sly. - I'm sorry too.

Gabby, I wanted to wow you with a spectacular cake. - That was thoughtful, thank you, Sly. Baker Graham, your baking problems must be connected to our word mystery. - Someone took Vet

Wilder's astonishing magician's hat. - You watched a test run of his magic show today. What happened? - He was a mess. The cat jumped out of the hat and licked my face. Then the

pig slobbered on me. Do you know how astonishingly unsanitary that is? I had to wipe my face with a dish towel. Then during Vet Wilder's disappearing act, I left to take a shower. - You

didn't say you were leaving. - No, I didn't wanna hurt his feelings. And, ugh, I think I need to take another shower. Talk later. - His dish towel ended up where the astonishing

hat was taken from. - Suspicious. But I think it's time we interviewed Singer Melody. [call ringing] ♪ Good afternoon, Gabby and Sly ♪ - Hello. - Are you okay? - No. My astonishing

singing voice that makes people cry with joy sounds unimpressive today. Sly, there is no way I can sing that amazing friendships song you had asked for. - And that's how my second

surprise for Gabby is ruined. - Sorry, Sly. - That would've been surprising if the word astonishing weren't missing. - Singer Melody, why were you at the vet clinic today? - Vet

Wilder asked for my comments on his new magic show. Honestly, it needed a lot of work. He made lots of mistakes. Like not being able to find my card, the nine of hearts, three times. -

Rough. - It was, the show was astonishing or ready for an audience. I didn't know what to say, so I left during the disappearing act like this, bye. - Gabby. I'm sorry your

surprises got wrecked. - It's okay, you didn't need to get me presents just because I got tickets to the magic show. - I didn't? - No, there's nothing I like more than

solving word mysteries with you. - Me too. And speaking of solving a mystery, did you see Singer Melody's comments were written in green? - Not just any green, glitter green. - Like the

pen in the screenshot. Let's review our case notes. - [Sly] Baker Graham left the dish towel he used to wipe his face. - [Gabby] and Singer Melody left the pen she was using to write

her comments. - [Gabby] She didn't think Vet Wilder's show was astonishing. - Or ready for an audience. She also said she didn't know what to say. - I think it's time to

show everyone how this word mystery happened. [call ringing] Now, presenting the Word Mystery animated reenactment of The Case of the Astonishing Absence. Thanks for coming to the test run

of my magic show. [cat meows] Oops. - [Gabby] Ew, kitty cat. - [Sly] Moving on to the next trick. - [Gabby] Piggy. - [Sly] I'm gonna need an audience volunteer. - [Gabby] Pick me! - Is

this your card? - Nope. - How about this. - Nuh-uh. - Or this one? - Not even close. - [Sly] Moving on, this final trick will astonish you. I'm going to disappear. - Astonish you? I

gotta go take a shower. This show needs a lot of work. - Ta da! Singer Melody is who did it? [Baker Graham gasps] - Singer Melody, how could you? - She grabbed it when Vet Wilder

disappeared, that's how. - She didn't think his magic show was at all astonishing or ready to impress an audience, that's why. - Vet Wilder, I should have talked about how to

make your magic show more astonishing. Not taking your hat so you couldn't perform at all. I'm so sorry. - I forgive you, I'm gonna come up with some new tricks. I just need

my hat back. - I'll help you, and bring you your hat. - My astonishing hat is back on my head where it belongs. Hmm, what's this I found? Ta da, the nine of hearts! - Wow, you

found my card! - I did, and I promise way more amazing magic tricks at my show. ♪ La la la la And with my voice back, I'll be able to sing your astonishing friendship song, Sly! - It

smells like Gabby's astonishing gingerbread cake is ready! - Thanks, word detectives. - Thanks, word detectives. - Wow, so many special surprises. - This once ordinary and unimpressive

day is back on track. - I can't wait for all the fun we're gonna have spending time with our astonishing friends. - Yes!
