When Griffin Rock's communication tower needs replacing, the Bots and Burnses take on part-time jobs to raise the money.
Synopsis
The rescue team watch Kade and his Brash Ball team practicing, with Blades giving a running commentary. Jerry's alarm goes off, and he has to rush off to make a delivery without even taking off his moose mascot costume. This leads into a discussion of what the plural of "moose" is, which Frankie resolves using her new phone, bought using her savings. With practice over, the team heads home. Meanwhile Jerry runs into trouble — having issues driving with his moose costume on, he crashes his truck on a mountain road and is surrounded by several moose. He jumps back into his truck, but a moose starts pushing it over the edge of the cliff. Heatwave comes across this scene, however he's unable to approach the truck thanks to the moose and he and his passengers realize the communications tower is busted so they can't contact the rest of the team. They use a flare to try to attract Blades's attention before Heatwave moves in. He manages to scare off all the moose, but the truck goes over the edge. Luckily Blades has arrived in time to save both it and Jerry. The team heads off to find Doc Greene and get the tower fixed.
Doc does his best, but says the tower is old and outdated and needs to be replaced. They head to town hall to talk to Mayor Luskey about getting a replacement, but it turns out the budget has been spent along with the rest of the town's savings on a new Brash Ball stadium. As it turns out, this is an inflatable Insta-adium he's bought online. Down at the dock, he starts the stadium inflating, confident that the town will be able to lure in the Brash Ball Big Bowl which will bring in a ton of money. They're still stuck for communications until then, so Cody hits on the idea of calling in Salvage to have a go at repairing the tower. Salvage tries, but in the process the top falls off the tower, though at least the phones are temporarily working.
Cody has a plan to raise the money to replace the tower — he suggests everyone get side jobs. Reluctant to involve any of the rest of town, the team starts going through the job listings. Boulder takes a landscaping job, only to discover it's just pulling weeds from Mrs Neederlander's lawn, while Graham takes what he thinks is a tutoring job, but turns out to be working as a nanny for Mr Harrison's kids. Chase opts for a job working as a taxi. Kade starts work as a clown for children's parties, much to Heatwave's disgruntlement. Blades and Dani have more fun giving traffic reports for Huxley Prescott, but they quickly discover a dumpster fire. The team have to abandon their side jobs to respond to the emergency. Later in the fire house, they review their takings for the day, and Graham calculates it'll take them over ten years to save enough. Meanwhile Chief announces the team has to be at tomorrow's Brash Ball game as some out-of-town officials are coming.
The next day, the team are all working their side jobs when Chase gets into an argument with his passenger, Mr Sharma, which almost results in Chase running over a pedestrian on the crossing Kade and Heatwave are looking after. As arguments break out, Chief announces that trying to hold down second jobs just isn't working. The team heads to the Brash Ball game, however Kade quickly realizes he's left his cleats at home and has Graham fetch them. Luskey greets the officials to the stadium. As Graham arrives and hands over Kade's cleats, he and Cody quickly realize what the combination of the spikes and the inflatable stadium are going to result in, however their warnings are in vain and the stadium rapidly begins to deflate, taking on water as it does so. The team works together to stabilize the structure longer enough to allow everyone to get out, though the stadium itself ends up sinking. After the Brash Ball officials storm off, the rest of the townsfolk realize the team had been taking on extra jobs to replace the tower and they all pitch in. A new communications tower is later successfully erected on the mountain.
