Episode Structure
- Episodes are organized into distinct missions, each identified by a three‑letter code (e.g., “Operation: C.A.L.’s” or “Operation: M.I.N.T.”).
- The series follows the activities of the “Kids Next Door” organization, a secret society of children who battle adult tyranny and other threats.
- While most episodes are self‑contained, the series includes several multi‑part arcs (e.g., the “Operation: I.C.E.” two‑part premiere, the “Operation: Rescue Note” three‑part finale).
