**Brown And Away** is the nineteenth episode of Season 6 of California City Show and the 263rd episode of the entire series overall. It aired on CCTV Network on May 12, 2023.

## Synopsis

Levar along with his son Matthew, as well as Sean, Julia, Jubilee, Adam, Sailor, Hugo, Mort Jr., and Pedro travel to the interborder library and lodge which has a large library and artifacts from the 1800s inside of it, as well as 24 rooms. This building, which is actually a large vehicle, sits on the border between California and the Arizonian republic, with the bedrooms and main entrance being in the Californian side and the vehicle cockpit on the other side of the border. Chelsea, Mort, Bev, and Dave also go as well, with both the former and latter of the four being father and daughter owing to the fact that Sailor is Chelsea's daughter, while Chelsea herself, along with Julia, Jubilee, and Adam are all Dave's kids, though Chelsea however is already a legal adult, unlike the latter three.

Upon entering, a tour guide instructs them not to cross the border out of the states as the other side of it is a totally different country and it is illegal to cross without going to a checkpoint beforehand. Everyone obliges, but Mort Jr. and Hugo decide to skip around the structure and into both the states and the Arizonian republic, particularly the province of Clifford. Mort sees them from a window inside the building and yells at them to stop. Meanwhile, Levar decides to take charge of all of the kids, and initially the grownups in order for them to take responsibility of their kids during their stay.

Later in the late evening as the kids are getting ready to go to bed for the night per parental instructions, Hugo decides to open the forbidden vault door that leads to the engine room and Sean, Hugo, Mort Jr., Adam, and Pedro all go inside of it to see the building's massive engine that powers it. Pedro eventually becomes scared and decides to leave, while the others remain and try to get a good look at the massive engine. Revealing to be a 280-liter engine, the four kids curiosity leads to the engine starting room and kill switch that control the engine (ironically the engine and the starter itself are at the back of the structure while the main cockpit is at the front). Before Hugo's curiosity leads to him trying to start the engine, the tour guide rushes in and snaps at them for breaking into the engine room which is to be accessed only by the mechanical engineers. Mort becomes furious at both Hugo and his son Mort Jr., as well as Sean and Adam and the kids' parents send them to their rooms until seven o'clock in the morning.

At around three o'clock in the morning, Hugo gets up and decides to go to the cockpit room at the front of the building, which leads to a large plethora of supercomputers, infinite instrument clusters, dozens of buttons, switches, and levers, and four pilot seats. There is also another starter and Killswitch for the back engine, as well as a completely separate starter and Killswitch for another, even smaller engine at the front which provides power to the building while stationary. One of the inspectors catches Hugo in the cockpit and makes him leave. Mort sees him and ultimately yells at him to go to his room.

Eventually, the library suddenly starts to roll, leading to panic and everyone inside must get together to try and fix it and get it back in its place. However, the vehicle's complicated controls, as well as highly advanced technology used to power it, the grownups are unable to try to stop it on their own and instead must get the engineers to try and stop it. Eventually, one of the engineers notices and rushes into the cockpit, only to yell at the grownups for breaking into it. However, considering the dire situation, the engineer goes in and tries to pull the brake lever, but after pulling it back, the vehicle starts to roll again, so the engineer pulls it again and tries to figure out the issue, which is revealed to be a worn out brake that collapsed. The engineer tries to fix the problem by connecting all the cables back together after having disconnected automatically. Eventually, the engineer pulls the brake lever and the problem is fixed, and now tries to reverse it to get it back in its place, which is in the middle of the border. It isn't until one of the pilots comes in and actually reverses it back. They intially blame the kids for it, but the engineer tells them that neither of them could have done it and that the cables are known to snap automatically from time to time. However, Mort still expresses frustration with Hugo after he went into the cockpit, but glad that he didn't do anything to the brake cables. In the morning, the group resumes and decides to hang out again for another night before going back home.

Meanwhile, Lamar meets a new person who has a good taste for coffee and hot chocolate.
