Chase and Leo enter a local "create-your-own battle bot" competition where they hope to defeat the returning champion. Davenport asks to give some input, but ends up taking over the entire robot build. When Chase and Leo kick him off the team, Davenport becomes determined to win on his own.

The Lab Rats confide in Leo their frustrations at having to constantly train and their desire to do normal teenage things. Leo explains the concept of going on strike so they face off against Davenport, who then calls their strike bluff and raises the stakes by recruiting Leo as a Lab Rat "scab" for an upcoming demonstration.
