A new season opens in Odyssey with Whit's latest invention and Connie rather too fond of the Inspiration Station.

Barrett's video game vanishes without a trace, Camilla takes on a baby blue jay to prove she can handle a pet and a talking portrait of Frederick Douglass tells Olivia the remarkable story of the Jubilee Singers.
