Welcome to the Australian desert. Now where did I...? Got it. Okay, so your desert mission is to... well, to help me solve a mystery, actually. I've heard there are shrimp in the desert, but for some reason, I can't find them. So that's your mission: find me a shrimp. Bye. GABI: Shrimp in the desert? But that's impossible. Shrimp live in the ocean. Maybe there's an ocean nearby. Let's check the map. Yeah, see? We're here, and the ocean's just 1,700 miles away. That'll take us, what, six months to walk it? Oliver, I am not walking to the ocean. Well, what then? I don't see a seafood joint. Where else are we going to find a shrimp? (camera snaps) Gotcha. That look like a kangaroo? Uh... No. What are you even doing here, Clem? Taking photographs for Plum. We finished our mission already. So what's your mission? It's an impossibility is what it is. Yeah, we're supposed to find shrimp. In a desert. Wait. I know just where you can find some. And so where we're standing now, it was water. Like miles and miles. Ginormous. How it happened was first, it started to rain a lot, and then this desert became a lake. But then the sun came out and it totally evaporated in just three months. While we were looking at the lake, we saw some pelicans, and they were eating fish and shrimp. And I thought, "That is so weird. How did shrimp get into the lake?" So... how did they? I don't know. I can't figure it out. The shrimp must be here somewhere. They didn't come down with the rain. Here, shrimp-y, shrimp! Here, shrimp! Maybe we should look for shrimp eggs? They could be hiding out in this stuff. Hmm, I don't see anything. Let's try the Plink. Yup. Those round things sure do look like eggs. I guess the only way to know for sure is to try and hatch them. How would we do that? I hatched some brine shrimp for a science project once. All they really needed was water. H2O, at your service. Nope. Nada. It takes time, Oli. A week, maybe. Oh, man. If we have to hang around for a week, I want my skateboard. Why don't you just use the time-speeder? Good idea. Where's Cooper? Over there, making friends with a bilby. Shoo! Shoo! Do you hear me? (screams) Can you fast-forward seven days? We're trying to hatch some eggs. Seven days, fast-forward and go. Are those shrimp? (gasps): Those are shrimp! I don't believe it. I grew a baby shrimp. That is amazing. Thank you. If you're willing to stay a little longer, I might have another mission for you. (cheering)
