Jeez, with Sneak gone, I gotta be in charge
and do all the sneaky work?
It's too much, boss.
Eh... Boss?
Wait! What do you mean you're in charge?
Ah, gee, boss.
What can we do to snap you out of this funk?
Ya... Ya... You want us to rustle up some trouble
with the Dream Bandit?
You're always happy when she's around.
Ooh! You could try to steal her watch again!
You're right.
I should find her...
in the Waking World!
Don't burn the place down while I'm gone.
See you later, Mrs. Castillo.
Hey! Zoey, Zoey?
What? Oh, hey, Mateo.
Are you okay? You walked right past us.
Oh, sorry, I...
I guess I've been a little in my head
ever since we fought the Never Witch.
Yo...
I swear I am still sore.
Wait. Can you be sore from a dream?
It's not that. It's...
Never mind.
Forget I said anything.
Well, Mr. Oz said the R.E.M. trials kick off tonight.
Could be interesting?
I guess.
Finally, everything will be as it should be.
Welcome to Castle Nocturnia!
Even the Tokyo branch is here at this hour.
I haven't seen Agent Takashi in years.
Uh, you ever feel like someone is staring at you?
We must be like celebrities now.
Just act natural.
Uh, this feels like a lot.
The Readiness Evaluation Metrics are a big deal.
Or, they were.
R.E.M.s used to be how the Night Bureau
evaluated Dream Crafting skills
and assigned agents to missions.
Mm, kinda fell by the wayside over the years.
Wait, so the Never Witch is stealing memories,
realms are disappearing, the Sandman is missing,
and we are having a dumb contest
to see who has the biggest imagination?
R.E.M.s are meant to sharpen your skills
and single out the most powerful Dream Chasers.
Now let's get cracking.
I want to hear what the challenges will be.
Hey!
Oh, look, Grand Inspector.
The Brooklyn branch is here.
I see they wore their funny little costumes.
And I see you wore your smirky little face.
Really?
You thought you could trip me up with a...
Ah, finally.
Now, if everyone can gather around,
-we can begin. -
It's so wonderful to have
these legendary premises
back at last.
Thanks to Agent Oswald's team, of course.
Without their royal blunders,
we never would've reclaimed it.
Let's all give the Brooklyn branch a big thanks.
See? They love us!
I see agents from across the globe.
I know it is daytime for some of you,
and I appreciate your commitment in these dangerous times.
As you all know, we are facing a threat.
The greatest one we've faced in our lifetime.
The Never Witch.
We must be vigilant and restore the Night Bureau
to its former glory with R.E.M. trials.
Now, as is tradition,
the trials will determine the three best Dream Chasers
for a special task force to take on the Never Witch!
Who will help restore the Dream World to greatness?
Hm? Which of you can prove you're better than the rest?
What lengths will you go to eradicate your competition?
Well, that took a weird turn.
Ooh, why can't we all just band together and defeat her?
The first 14 who successfully complete the first trial,
equipped with only their hourglasses,
will qualify for the second trial.
Only seven will move on to the third trial,
which as we have always done...
Tradition, Inspector Strick.
With no further ado, the first trial is...
- -Toss and Turn!
I love that one!
Wrangling a wild dream creature, rodeo style.
Tomorrow night will be an opportunity to prepare
and practice,
for those who need it.
The trials commence on the following night.
May the best Dream Chasers triumph!
We are good Dream Chasers, right?
Yeah, but that Astrid is one tough cookie.
Huh! She's no better than we are.
Banana Monster!
Where, where, where?
Zoey?
Are you all right?
Zoey?
No, you go first.
I'm embarrassed.
We'll go at the same time.
One, two, three.
Lullaby!
I knew that was your favorite.
It's yours, too.
You really think that's what we should play
at Battle of the Bands?
We've written 12 songs.
We gotta play something, right?
I can't believe we're doing it.
Lullaby is a little bit of a cheat.
I got the tune from my mom.
- -
She knows her stuff. It's catchy.
It wouldn't work without your harmony.
It's gonna kill at the Battle of the Bands.
If we win, it would be a dream come true!
You wanna talk about it?
The Never Witch made me relive some memories.
Some I'd rather forget.
A whole bunch, actually.
All at once.
And now they're stuck.
It's like a headache I can't shake.
Why don't you talk to someone?
Like us.
That's what friends are for.
It could help.
I had this friend, Miya.
She was an aware dreamer like us,
but the Night Hunter ruined everything.
-Miya! -
-Run! -
These Dream Realms were supposed to be fun!
They were, until these things showed up!
What are they?
How should I know?
- -
I want to go back to our landing.
What are you doing?
Keep running! I'll catch up.
Who are you and why are you butchering my song?
You...
From the moment we first met,
it was like he was out to torment me.
And not just me,
but everyone and everything that meant something to me.
But, uh, but... but... but anyway,
he's not our headache right now.
Let's focus on these trials.
Right?
It's beautiful!
Now, these bedbugs ain't nothing like
those little babies you let out of them crates.
Okay, so it's a little bigger. So what?
-It doesn't look that hard. -
Okay, first thing you gotta remember
is the trials are just about you and your hourglass.
No outside items allowed.
Creativity will get you everywhere,
so don't underestimate your imagination.
-Let's begin. -
Why is everything blobby with you?
Uh, it worked on the siren.
Focus, Mateo!
I am not losing to Royce
because your Dream Crafting is only one-note.
-Think different! -What about Logan?
All he does is change into Lolo and no one says a thing!
Uh, what did I do?
He's probably just shy.
He just needs a hug.
Come here, ya big softie.
Nothing like a good hug.
I'm gonna need some bouncy shoes.
Go on, Coop. Get in there!
Me? I... I... I don't know where to begin.
Then pretend it's a car or something.
Use your imagination.
