Jake must be the Oracle Twins' body guard as the mischievous goblin, Herbert, has planned to capture them and force Kara and Sarah to make predictions of the upcoming Ogre Bowl, on Friday, so he wins a large amount of money.

Unfortunately, while protecting them, Kara has a vision of the test, and Jake uses Kara and Sarah to try and get the answers on the test.

Notes

add »
When the Sara told Trixie and Spud they were tying the knot they thought she meant getting married when she literally meant they were going to tie a knot. (edit)
This is the second appearance of the Oracle twins. The first appearance was in 'Dragon Breath'. But they were only in one scene. (edit)
Tara Strong is best known for her voice acting as Raven on Teen Titans. She voices the Oracle Twins. Their names rhyme. Tara, Kara, and Sara. (edit)
Goblins have a sensitive sense of smell. This can be exploited as a weakness by introducing their surroundings to an awful odor. (edit)
At the end of the episode, Sara sees the future and tells Jake that Rose has a dark secret but doesn't tell him what it is. This is a foreshadow to the episode 'Ski Trip'. (edit)

Quotes

add »
Gramps: Uhh Jake, cutting one corner just leads to two more.(Uses scissors to cut a corner off a piece of paper)
Jake: Uh, you just cut up my homework. (edit)
Rotwood: Mr. Long, Friday's test counts for you know what, 50 percent of your grade. So, if you don't shape up by then, you will get the destined pleasure seeing me, Professor Rotwood, in the Bermuda shorts with the flippy floppy sandals.
Jake: (Confused) Meaning?
Rotwood: Summer school! (edit)
Fu Dog:(While sitting on a newspaper) I'm just practicing my paper trails, talk about your yellow journelism he he he (edit)
Jake: Hey yo, Mr. Rotwood!

Rotwood:: Nein! It's Professor!

Jake: Yeah yeah yeah... I just wanna say... I'm looking forward to your test today, but you might need to invent a grade higher than an "A!"
Hop!

(starts beatboxing a rhythm) (edit)
Sarah: Hi Jake! Remember us? You will.
Jake: Oh yeah. The oracle twins. So are you the one that only sees the good stuff or the bad stuff?
Sarah: You're gonna get a nasty case of poison ivy all over your head in July. A pox upon your face. HeHe!
Jake: Right. Bad Stuff. So that must make the one that sees the good stuff. What's up?
Kara: You're cavity free this year.
Jake: Yeah!
Sarah: Root canal next year. (edit)

Trivia

add »
At one point Fu is watching his Grandmother as she's out in the field bashing at the Ogres during the game. But when the first period bell rings and the scene quickly switches to Jake and Fu, you can clearly see his Grandmother right in front of him. How is it possible she got in her seat that fast? (edit)
Sara said that Jake would get a question wrong on the test and told him the answer. If she told him the answer, he would get the question right and her prediction would be wrong. (edit)
When Sara said, "You're gonna get hit by a boulder going 180 miles per hour, WOW, thats gonna hurt!" It actually didn't hurt Jake, since it was just a tap, so the oracles are wrong!

Re: Not everything they say is a prediction. Clearly she's just commenting on her own prediction. (edit)
Response to supposedly the Oracle Twins visions always come true, however if Rose was supposed to fall down the stairs but was saved by Jake. Wouldn't that show their predictions can be altered?

Well no, the oracles said Rose was going to fall down the stairs, they never said she was gonna land. She did fall, but she got caught. (edit)
Sara said, "Remember us? You will!" Why is that a bad thing? She only sees bad.

(Re: It's probably because Jake thought they were a pain bothering him about visions) (edit)

Allusions

add »
Title: Oracle of Delphi
The oracle Fu Dog is refering to is a famous oracle in greek mythology. She was the one who told Heracles not to kill himself (after he killed his sons) but to purify himself, by sending him to do the 12 labours. (edit)
Title: Spiderman
When Jake catches Rose and her books before she fell down the stairs is similar to a scene in Spider-Man when Peter catches MJ in his left and and her lunch before they reach the ground. (edit)
