And when a mail letter opens from a computer, it reveals that the rest of the team are in trouble at the Arabian Sea! The trouble is that Rocket's anchor is stuck on the rocks at the bottom of the sea, because they can no longer blast off to home! So Quincy and his magic instruments can work together to rescue his friends, and they begin their solo mission.
So while going out of the house, Quincy sings his song of rescuing his friends at sea. The Arabian Sea is too far, but the rest of the team are counting on Quincy and he needs a plan to go faster! Luckily, the magic flute has a plan and he needs to help Quincy play it to see its amazing transformation! And the transformation of the magic flute is a big train.
Now, Quincy and the rest of the magic instruments ride the flute train and off they go to the Thar Desert and there are dunes!

Trivia[]
- This episode is similar to "Annie's Solo Mission", because all three characters are in danger and the other has to save them.
- This is the first episode to use the Tchaikovsky music.
- This is the second time that one of the members have to rescue all by himself/herself (the first was Annie's in Annie's Solo Mission).
- When the second season's first episode is premiered, the story continues after the storyline in general of the episode The Birthday Machine.
- This is the only episode where someone else declares "Mission completion!" at the end instead of Leo. In that case, it's Quincy.
- This is the only episode where the blast off sequences is featured near the end of the episode instead of near the beginning.
- This is the first episode to feature a shorter version of the blast off sequence to save time, with most of Leo's dialogue re-recorded.
- The colors of Annie's clothes were changed this season to avoid her having a color scheme too similar to Quincy's clothes (with her undershirt now light blue, her jean dress now pink and she also has blue shoes and white socks -- her clothing colors reversed).
- This is the first episode (other than Season 1) where Annie doesn't use her microphone, following Silly Sock Saves the Circus and The Music Robot from Outer Space until she will get one from a true story and its debut from the next episode.
- This is the only Season 2 episode not to feature the Super Fast segment (it will first appear in the next episode for airing order).
- This is the first episode (in airing order) to feature the Curtain Call Song in the end.
- This is one of two episodes in the series to have Quincy's name in the title, the other being Quincy and the Instrument Dinosaurs.
- This is one of the three episodes where the sound effects are muted in the theme song, but in the Russian version, with the other two being Brothers and Sisters to the Rescue and The Glass Slipper Ball.
Errors/Goofs/Statics[]
- Although Tchaikovsky's first and middle names are often transcribed from Russian as "Pyotr Ilyich" or sometimes as "Peter Ilyich", all episodes with Tchaikovsky music have his first and middle names as "Peter Ilich" on the sheet music.
- In the introduction, Annie wears her pair of purple and pink converse style shoes from Season 1. This becomes a recurring error in subsequent episodes.
