- “Good evening. This is Wilson, your rolling reporter coming to you live from the Border Bridge.”
- ―Wilson on the air
Rolling Reporter Wilson is the nineteenth episode of the second season.
Plot
Wilson is chosen to appear on a news report about the Border Bridge. He goes out to practise his performance with Dr. Ling's new rolling reporter wagon, but ends up having to babysit Hoot and Toot after Calley gets an emergency call.
Hoot and Toot try to help Wilson practise, but after Wilson starts chatting with Chatsworth, the twins get bored and decide to go on an adventure with the camera wagon. Wilson soon realises they are gone, and hastily starts searching for them; he only has an hour left until his report.
Wilson suddenly notices the twins have accidentally pressed the recording button of the car after seeing them on Vee's screen. He goes to the Ice Cave to get back the camera wagon, and after receiving a quick apology from Hoot and Toot, rushes to Border Bridge just in time for his report, which he carries out successfully.
