Gortimer, narrating:
I've lived my whole life
on Normal Street.

There's a lake at one end

and a forest of shady trees
at the other.

But what lies in between

is anything but normal.

Most days are ordinary.

You wake up,

you make breakfast.

You don't think
twice about it.

[sneeze]

But sometimes in a moment...

[sneezing]

an ordinary day becomes...

[sneezing]

Seven.

[sneeze]

a day you'll never forget.

Eight.

[whistle]

Hey, bud.

Here you go.

Eat that.

I need you at 100% today.

Because today's the day

you finally let me
drive your convertible.

Not yet.

But I drove you to Egg's
on the riding mower.

You said I took the sidewalk
ramps like a pro.

You're a little speedy.

I'm talking
about something better.

Motorcycle.

A flower.

A flower.

Not just any flower.

The oxalis normalis.

The fabled flower
of Normal Street.

It springs up
once a generation,

and it is spectacular.

Legend says it smells sweeter

than a hundred
candy factories.

If you pick it,

it makes you stronger
than ten oxen

and smarter
than 20 professors.

Some even say
it can make you fly.

This flower
is all the more rare

because it only lasts
one day.

The only time
I sneeze repeatedly

is when it's in bloom.

[sneezing]

On the day
I married your grandma,

one of its
perfect pink petals--
[sneezing]

actually fell at my feet.

It was magical.

I had to wait 25 more years
before it bloomed again.

[sneezing]

I searched far and wide
and was about to give up,

and then I saw it again.

I ran as fast as I could.

And I lost it.

But today could be our day.

I sneezed eight times.

It's out there.

Wait. How long
is a generation?

Uh, about 25 years.

And how old are you?

Old enough to know I'd better
catch a glimpse this time.

- We'll find that flower
together.
- Yeah.

Whoa.
Let's try that again.

- [grunt]
- There.

Thanks. Now look,

you go get your friends.

I'll get my hiking boots.

Great.

[sigh]
Gortimer needs a distraction.

Go.

Done.

6.6 seconds.

Better. Let's go again.

[chuckle]
Let's go outside.

We're always outside.

10% of the time
is the human average.

You've been out,
like, 2% since you--

well, humiliated yourself
in front of Abigail.

You're
becoming a mole person.

No, no, no, no, no.
I'm not.

I'm just minimizing
chance encounters.

One more time. I'm getting
really good at this.

Guys, you've got to
help me find a flower.

Yes. We do.

Uh, wait. Why?

It's this flower that
blooms once a generation,

and I told my grandpa we'd
all help him look for it.

All right. Let's go.

All right. Yeah, yeah.

Let's take a look.

Nope. Not here.

Well, we've done
all we can do.

I thought this might
be hard to sell,

now that Gortimer's
a mole person.

Mel:
Oh. My mom's home.

Let me go help her
with groceries,

and then we'll look
for the flower--

outside.

I'm not a mole person.

Ohh.

Ah. Hi.

Thank you. Hey, Mel,

I found that yummy trail mix
from my camping trip.

Guess what the secret
ingredient was.

Cayenne pepper.

Habanero salt.

- Oh, I'll take that.
- Hey.

Sorry. I'm doing taxes.
I need sustenance.

Yeah, well, I bought two
because I'm on to you.

He's been pillaging my trail
mix ever since I got back.

Oh, yeah.
How was your trip?

Cascade Volcanoes,
right?

Yeah.

Did you pick anything up?

Maybe a fossilized
pterodactyl skull?

Uh, I didn't
come across any, no.

Laura, question.
How could you hike a volcano

and not bring back
something awesome?

Uh, well, I did
find an arrowhead,

but I left it
on the trail.

That's like an arrowhead
right through my heart.

Take only memories.
Leave nothing but footprints.

That's what
Chief Seattle said.

My mom always comes
back from her trips

with some new philosophy
that only lasts a month.

Hmm. Well,
outdoors is for shoes.

Indoors is for slippers.

I learned that on my trip
to Japan last year.

Hmm.

Are those, uh, little mops

at the bottom
of the slippers?

Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Makes it easier
to clean the floor.

What? Whatever, weirdo.

Hmm.

Oh. Honey, dinner might be
on the late side, okay?

I'm-- I'm running around
all afternoon.

Okay.

Where shall we start?

Since few people
have ever seen

the oxalis normalis,

it's probably in
an unpopulated area.

- Agreed.
- If it needs full sun,

it could be
near the lake.

Maybe it's in the forest
out by Castaway Cave.

Wow. Castaway Cave.

I almost forgot
about that place.

I haven't been there
since that summer.

We practically lived there.

You camped outside.

There were bats.

There weren't bats.

Look.

Get it.

Smells nice.

Is that it?

Let's take it to Grandpa.
He'll know.

Grandpa.

Check it out. Is this it?

That's it.

Yes.

Hey. Save some for when we
find the whole flower.

Okay, here's the plan.

We hit
the Botanical Society,

get as much info as possible,

and then--

and then we do
something with it.

[chuckles]

Whoa.

Whoa.

I think I stood up too fast.

Are you okay?

I'm a little dizzy.

Okay. Here we go again.

Here we go.

Uh, are you okay, Bob?

Yeah.

Maybe it's not
such a good idea

to go hiking through
the wild today.

But it'll only
be there today.

I'm just not up for it.

Grandpa, we are going
to find that flower

and bring it to you.
I promise.

[chuckle]

Thanks, meat ball.

Welcome to the Normal Street
Botanical Society.

Would you like to play
Name That Plant?

Coyote mint, wild ginger,
desert grape,

wind poppy, monkey flower.

That was incredible.

It's what she does.

What can you tell us

about
the oxalis normalis?

Order oxidalis.

Family oxilidacii.

Hasn't been spotted
in over 20 years.

Until today.

Where did you find this?

It just landed
at our feet.

I see.

Do you know what
direction it came from?

It blew in from the east.

We were near Normal
and Rockland.

The east? You're sure?

Positive.

Interesting. Okay.

Let's take a look
at a soil composition map.

- Uh, thank you.
- Yeah. Okay.

The normalis is so rare
that at this point

it's more legend than science,

which, to botanists, makes it

the girl who keeps
getting away.

Anyway, uh,
from what we do know,

the flower should be in
one of these four areas.

Those areas have low nitrogen
and high phosphorus,

so not them.

That's true. Even if
it did grow there,

it would need more
balance to bloom.

And this area was
paved over years ago.

Strip mall.

That's where
the Shrimp Blimp is.

That place is awesome.

* The Blimp
don't skimp, y'all *

Nothing?

Oh, well. More for me.

I guess that leaves
spot number 4, then?

No. That area has a high
clay concentration.

The oxalis can't grow there.

So, then, where
does that leave us?

That leaves us nowhere.

Now, whatever that was,

it was not
the oxalis normalis.

All right, I'm taking lunch.

Better luck next time, kids.

Hmm.

That was weird.

She ran off
with all the subtlety

of a diabolical
mastermind.

Do you think she was trying
to throw us off the scent?

I'm sure of it.

She's probably racing
to the flower right now.

Yeah, but where
is she going?

We've ruled out all
four possibilities.

In graphic novels,

when you're dealing with
a diabolical mastermind,

you try and best them
through their minions.

- But how?
- Simple.

There are seven steps.

1, ask directly

because he won't expect that.

2, sow the seeds of discord.

3, harvest the seeds
of discord.

4, appeal to his ego.

- 5--
- She's at the fourth spot.

I can hear you guys.

But I thought the flower
doesn't grow in clay.

Normalis isn't like
other oxalises.

It actually thrives in clay.

That's why
she took her boots.

A minion doesn't
just turn on his own.

Why is he--

Why are you telling us this?

I'm a sucker for underdogs.

Get going.

Thanks.

Gortimer: Okay, okay,
I've got another one.

Would you rather--

No. Come on. I'm still
trying to figure out

if I'd rather have hiccups
for the rest of my life

or an itch I can't scratch.

Travel back in time
or forward in time?

- Ranger: Back.
- Mel: Why?

To bring Neanderthals
chocolate ice cream.

They would flip out.

Whoa.

Castaway Cave.

Wow. It's been what,
five years?

It looks--

Not as scary.

Okay. A little scary.

If that scared you,
I wouldn't come in.

We've already
been in there.

Yeah, we found
this place.

We used to play
here every day.
It's ours.

Well, my friends and I
play here every day now,

and it's ours.

Hayden Hollow? Who's Hayden?

Wait. Where's our rock?

It said
"Castaway Cave" on it.

Must have rolled away.

It had a flat bottom.
I highly doubt that.

Whatever.
Let's just go.

This isn't over. We will
reclaim our dominion.

Gortimer: We've covered
pretty much the whole area.

What if we're looking
in the wrong place?

Plus it's getting
pretty late.

Great. There's no flower,
I'm covered in bug bites,

and Castaway Cave
is Hayden Hollow,

whatever that means.

Just forget about it,
the way I forgot

about making a complete
fool of myself

in front of Abigail.

I thought
if I said it out loud,

I might actually believe it.

Okay, you need
to stop whining,

and you need to whine
slightly less.

What am I missing?
Where's this flower?

Mel.

Look.

Huh. I thought
it would be bigger.

Are we sure this is it?

It-- It's a match,

but it doesn't look
like it can make you fly.

It's none of the things
the legend said.

Still, it is kind of sweet.

I mean, look at it.
It's like this little jewel.

It's actually kind of sad
it only lasts 24 hours.

Maybe that's part of
what makes it special.

- Stop!
- What?

I'm taking that.

I've been searching
for that flower

for half my life.

No, this is
for Ranger's grandpa.

It's his last chance
to see it.

I don't know who
Ranger's grandpa is,

but he's not here.

None of us would be
if it weren't for him.

None of us would be here
if it weren't for my research.

Mel: He discovered it.
He sneezed eight times.

Oh, he sneezed?
Why didn't you tell me?

Well, then of course
he can have it.

No. No. I did
the field work.

I wrote the papers.

That flower
belongs to me.

Mel: It belongs
to Ranger's grandpa.

It doesn't belong
to anybody.

What did your mom say?

Take only memories

and leave nothing
but footprints.

That's a lovely sentiment,

but science isn't sentimental.

This flower only gets
24 hours to live,

so why do we think
it's our right to take it

just because it's here?

But, Ranger,
you hiked all this way.

Don't you want your
grandpa to have it?

If he could, yeah,
but he can't

any more than we
had Castaway Cave.

We borrowed it
for that summer.

It never belonged to us.

We all
got to see it.

That's what's ours.

It's perfect.

If you guys aren't
going to take it,

then I will.

- What?
- What?

Okay.

I guess you were right.

Here.

Thank you.

[beeping]

Holly Fox.

Yeah.
You're Ranger, right?

Yeah.

It's your mom.

Uh, hey, Mom.
What's up?

Ranger, Grandpa's
in the hospital.

W-What? What happened?

It looks like
he has a blood clot.

Is he going
to be okay?

- Mom!
- Ranger, honey,

the doctors
are in with him.

I'll know more
when they come out.

My grandpa's in the hospital.

We can take my car.

Mom, the lady from
the Botanical Society

says that she'll
drive us there.

Tell Grandpa
I'm on my way.

[monitor beeping]

Do you need anything?

I know this is easier
said than done,

but just try to relax
and not jump to conclusions.

I should have taken it.

The flower?

Grandpa could
use it right now.

How were you
supposed to know?

What was I thinking?

Why did you let me say that
about footprints and stuff?

It was pointless.

It was
really beautiful.

Who cares?
Grandpa needs it.

Hey.

It wasn't a blood clot.

Grandpa's
going to be okay.

The pain in his leg
was just an infection.

They've got him on an IV.

They're going to keep an
eye on him overnight.

- Can I go see him?
- Yeah.

There he is.

- Hi.
- So.

So what?

Did you find it?

You did? Where is it?

Grandpa, I'm sorry.
I didn't know you were sick.

I should have picked it.

Whoa. Whoa.

What's going on?

Well, we got there,
and we saw the flower.

- Yeah?
- It wasn't big,

but it was, you know,
really cool.

And it just didn't
seem right to take it.

Wow, Ranger.

I'm so sorry.

Are you kidding?
I'm proud of you.

Why?

You saw something.

You knew it was special.

And you were smart enough
to keep it that way.

You're only 14?
I'm impressed.

But you might never
get to see the flower.

Well...

Did you get a picture?

[sigh]

No. I was so caught up
in the moment,

it didn't occur to me.

And now it's gone.
It blew away.

W-Why are you smiling?
I feel horrible.

Would I rather see a flower

or watch you turn
into a fine young man?

That's an easy one.

You did the right thing, bud.

I'm glad you're okay.

Me, too.

Gortimer:
Most days are ordinary.

You wake up.

You make breakfast.

You don't think
twice about it.

But sometimes in a moment,

an ordinary day becomes...

a day you'll never forget.

Dad?

Mel?

Gortimer.

Mom?

What's going on?

It's Laura.

She was...

in a car accident.

Is she going to be okay?

No.
