Smidge, Guy Diamond, Cooper and Biggie steal Branch's remote control —whom he dubs as "Gary"— and take it out for a spin.

Guy Diamond, Cooper and Smidge are attempting to hug the sun when Biggie approaches. They ask him if he wants to join in on their fun. He refuses, saying "Sounds a bit too risky for my liking", to which earns him criticism. As they point out, this is his response to everything; Biggie corrects them that sometimes he just screams and runs away.
The trio inflate Smidge's hair until she begins to float away, but gets stuck in a tree. Branch appears and using Gary rescues her. When her hair deflates, Branch and Smidge float in midair for a few seconds. Smidge comments on Branch's eyes before gravity takes over. Branch uses Gary to activate a slide, breaking their fall. The trio get really excited about what Gary can do. Branch states that Gary has all sorts of buttons that control things hidden throughout Troll Village. When they reach for him, the trio are told Gary is not a toy. He should only be used in an emergency and only by himself. He then walks off after saying Gary needs to go back home as Branch is due to a wedding that King Gristle Jr. is holding for his pet alligator Barnebis.
Smidge suggests that they take Gary for a joyride. Biggie warns that Branch is really protective about Gary and panics if he gets out of his sight. The scene changes to Branch buying ice cream for him and Gary, only for Branch to panic as he thinks Gary is missing, after disturbing several trolls he finds he was where he left him the entire time. Smidge ensures Biggie they'll have Gary back before Branch notices. Biggie tries to get away but is pulled into their scheme anyway.
Poppy is at Branch's bunker waiting for him as he finishes wrapping his wedding present - a pair of nunchucks. Poppy states that she'll explain why his wedding present is not suitable on the way to the wedding. As the hatch to his Bunker closes, Smidge uses her hair to stop it closing. This allows them entry to the bunker.
The four Trolls begin to experiment with Gary using various buttons. As things take off, Biggie realizes he's having the most fun he has ever had. As the 5th hug time activates, Biggie gets worried as they've been messing around too long with Gary. Biggie states they should be getting him back to the Bunker, but Smidge states there's only one more button to push.
Branch returns to his Bunker as the Bride left the Groom at the alter, meaning Branch gets to keep the nunchucks. As he swings them, they get caught in Poppy's hair. Branch finds out Gary is gone.
Smidge smashes the glass to the last button and activates it, taking the four Trolls on a wild cart ride. When the ride finishes, they're busy exclaiming how much fun they had when barking alerts them. Branch is looking for Gary, and they're in trouble if he finds them.
Poppy tries to calm down Branch, but he won't. Smidge is panicking as the critters he is using finds Gary's scent. Guy gets Smidge to pull both his fingers, causing him to fart a large cloud of Glitter. They flee Branch, but are too busy panicking to think where to run, as they can't tell where the critter barks are coming from.
Biggie grabs Gary, stating he took a risk today and had fun. He starts to use Gary just as Branch shows up. Biggie escapes and heads back to the bunker. He arrives just ahead of Branch, and places Gary under his bed. As Branch finds Gary, Biggie sneaks out of the bunker.
Outside the bunker, Guy and Cooper congratulate Biggie. Smidge turns up on a Cuddlepup adult asking them if they want to ride it. The others run away from her.

*The title is a combination pun on "Remote control" and "Out of control", which refers to a situation that has spiralled out of hand and resulted in uncontrollable chaos.
*Branch and Smidge floating in midair and then falling later is a reference a common logic rule in classic cartoons: "gravity does not work until you look down". They don't look down, but fall anyway.
**This is part of a running gag in the series, which was started by the Season 1 episode "Fun Branch". Although, this was only the second time the gag occurred; it wouldn't happen again until the Season 3 "Coop, Where's My Guy?", and the regular basis of occurrence wouldn't start until Season 5.
*The "super cool smashy thing" is a reference to Gallagher, a comedian who smashed watermelons as part of his act. Gallagher would be later referenced again in "Guy Misses Out".
*Biggie noticeably appears without Mr. Dinkles in this episode.
*An instrumental of Boom Da Party plays while Biggie, Guy, Cooper and Smidge drive in the cart.
*Since a hug time takes place every hour, it could be assumed that Biggie, Guy, Cooper and Smidge took Gary for 5 hours.
*The four aforementioned Trolls fly through the air in front of the moon, ignoring that it's actually daytime. This is a reference to E.T..
*After Barnebis' wedding, King Gristle Jr. took Bridget on a picnic.
