	[[Huxley Prescott]] interrupts programming to cover a daring rescue, as [[Boulder]] and [[Graham Burns]] try to prevent a truck of dangerous chemicals from plunging from a cliff. As Boulder strains, the other [[Rescue Bot]]s arrive. Aware they're being recorded, they first rescue the driver, and then pull the truck to safety. Unfortunately the tank pulls loose and falls, but [[Chase (RB)\|Chase]] executes a daring last-minute save. For a moment, the Burnses think their cover is blown, but Prescott is distracted by what he believes to be a crop circle, but is actually just a path cut for [[H.B. Luskey\|Mayor Luskey]] and [[Mrs. Luskey\|his wife]] to have their picnic.

	Boulder and Graham are called to [[Perkins (RB)\|Mr. Perkins]]'s farm to check out reports of aliens in his cornfields, to instead find cows. [[Dani Burns\|Dani]] and [[Blades (RB)\|Blades]] head to the town square where a UFO is supposedly taking off, to find [[Milo]] in a balloon going alien hunting. [[Heatwave (RB)\|Heatwave]] and [[Kade Burns\|Kade]] rescue [[Neederlander\|Mrs. Neederlander]]'s cat from a tree and assure her he wasn't abducted by aliens. At that point, the power goes out all over Griffin Rock and air raid sirens sound. Chief Burns is approached by the panicking Mayor. Burns contacts base and tells everyone to get to the [[Griffin Rock power plant\|power plant]], but is cut off as communications black out. Prescott makes another news flash warning everyone to get off the island. Predictably mass panic sets in as the island's population tries to evacuate, and the [[Griffin Rock ferry]] is endangered as it's overloaded, forcing Dani and Blades to tow it to safety.

Graham finds Prescott's SETI dish is responsible for the power drain which will eventually cause a massive explosion. Unfortunately the power drain traps the humans in the power plant, so the Rescue Bots must go driverless to deal with the dish.

[[Dani Burns\|Dani]] and [[Blades (RB)\|Blades]] head to the town square where a UFO is supposedly taking off, to find [[Milo]] in a balloon going alien hunting. [[Heatwave (RB)\|Heatwave]] and [[Kade Burns\|Kade]] rescue [[Neederlander\|Mrs. Neederlander]]'s cat from a tree and assure her he wasn't abducted by aliens. At that point, the power goes out all over Griffin Rock and air raid sirens sound. Chief Burns is approached by the panicking Mayor. Burns contacts base and tells everyone to get to the [[Griffin Rock power plant\|power plant]], but is cut off as communications black out. Prescott makes another news flash warning everyone to get off the island. Predictably mass panic sets in as the island's population tries to evacuate, and the [[Griffin Rock ferry]] is endangered as it's overloaded, forcing Dani and Blades to tow it to safety.

	The team reaches the power station and venture inside to find Cody, who has come to help. The Rescue Bots, left outside, are on-edge. Graham finds Prescott's SETI dish is responsible for the power drain which will eventually cause a massive explosion. Unfortunately the power drain traps the humans in the power plant, so the Rescue Bots must go driverless to deal with the dish.
