	The rescue team is preparing to celebrate "Earliween", a [[Halloween]]-like celebration set at a warmer time of the year so that it's possible to see the kids' costumes, when [[Quickshadow]] calls in to report that two humans are trying to steal her—apparently [[Evan (RB)\|Evan]] and [[Myles]] have escaped from jail. Before the team arrives, Quickshadow manages to break herself free using her spy movie gadgets; Evan and Myles run a thermal scan as she's escaping, discover that there's nobody inside, and conclude that she's a self-driving car with a really impressive security system. Before they can get any further, the rescue team shows up, and they're forced to flee the scene. Quickshadow got a picture of Evan and Myles, and the rescue team recognize them immediately when she shows them the picture. [[Kade Burns\|Kade]] comments that they probably thought she was the car from the [[Maven Danger]] movies and worth millions, which she's somewhat offended by. [[Heatwave (RB)\|Heatwave]] asks why she's come over, and [[Charlie Burns\|Chief Burns]] explains that he asked her to come help with Earliween security. Heatwave suggests guarding Quickshadow until Evan and Myles are captured.

	Later that day, [[Blades (RB)\|Blades]] is trying to decide on a costume when Cody arrives to tell everyone about his history class, in which his teacher let them listen to "[[Crustaceans from the Cosmos]]", a radio show which apparently freaked everyone out when it originally aired 70 years ago. The team leaves to head downtown to hand out candy, and Cody hitches a ride in Quickshadow. Evan and Myles manage to sneak a remote control device onto her as she passes over a manhole, and promptly take control of her to steer her towards the piers. The rescue team follow her, with [[Chase (RB)\|Chase]] leading; Myles takes great enjoyment in being a really incredibly terrible driver, which keeps the team from catching up with her. He also has use of all the spy gadgets, including net launchers and oil slicks.

	The team doesn't manage to keep Quickshadow from making it into the water, and Myles forces her into her aquatic transformation and sails out. Every member of the team except for Chase and [[Graham Burns\|Graham]] head out into the ocean; Chase and Graham, left with nothing else to do, go to dispense candy. [[Cody Burns\|Cody]] concludes that there must be something physically attached to her. [[Boulder]], being carried by Blades, grabs Quickshadow; Cody manages to open a door and jump into Heatwave, and Quickshadow tells Boulder to drop her over a rock. She transforms in midair, finds the device, and lands in a way that scrapes it off. Evan and Myles manage to get video of her talking afterwards.

	Blades is all ready to go to the party when Cody notices an out-of-place pumpkin, which promptly starts showing a transmission from Evan and Myles. They have video proof that the Cybertronians are real, and are threatening to upload it to the Internet unless the rescue team hands over Quickshadow within an hour. Boulder suggests that they just publicly announce that they're aliens; when the others object to this, he comes up with the idea of making an obviously fake video which will discredit Evan and Myles. The citizens are more than willing to help, viewing it as a nice Earliween prank.
