Grandmaster Glitch tries his hand at stunt flying, but the Grimbots are unimpressed, giving him a unanimous thumbs down. He tries again, but it's one loop-the-loop too much for poor old Grim HQ and it crash-lands in the branches of a baobab tree. Meanwhile, the Go Jetters enjoy the peaceful nighttime views of the Avenue of the Baobabs in Madagascar - a stand of trees known as 'the upside down trees' because their branches look like roots, reaching up into the sky. Lars makes friends with a baby lemur whose family has been scared away by a bright light and loud banging in the distance. The team investigates and discovers the cause: Grandmaster Glitch is illuminating Grim HQ with floodlights, while his Grimbots try to dislodge it from the tree.

Glitch has attached huge rocket boosters to Grim HQ in an attempt to become the first Grandmaster in space. As he thunders up into the night sky, it looks like he may actually do it this time. Then the boosters splutter to a stop and he crashes back to Earth. Glitch clambers to his feet amongst the wreckage of Grim HQ and demands the Grimbots find him another spaceship. Meanwhile, the Go Jetters arrive at the Seattle Space Needle, a huge spire with a futuristic viewing platform made to look like a flying saucer. Suddenly the ground begins to shake. Kyan thinks it's his stomach, Xuli thinks it's an earthquake, but Foz spots the real cause - Glitch has attached four of his huge rockets to the saucer to turn the Space Needle into a spaceship!
