Mr. Stark tells everyone to prepare tomorrow because it's gonna be a long trip. He tells Jodi and Alex to prepare for a long night with him fixing wardrobe. Heather tells Caleb that she worried about the trip, but Caleb believes that her hunch is wrong. Heather didn't care and she will ask her father - who is a mechanic - for a bus manual. next morning people gather as Ms. Diona makes the announcement to wish XO-IQ and L3 good luck and hope that everyone is on their best behavior. She calls for Mr. Stark many times and he shows up all exhausted helping Jodi and Alex. Caleb asked where Jodi was and Mr. Starks tells him that she is with Alex and it made Caleb disappointed because she asked everyone for help except him. Everyone leaves for the bus except Corki waiting for a call from Jared. She sees Jared and told him hi, but he ignores her. She doesn't know why Jared is ignoring her and he explains that it's for them to practice their long distance relationship when Jared leaves and by talking mostly through video chat. The next day while Caleb distracts the bus driver, Heather checks the bus for any faulty sections.As Sun Hi comes outside the school with Linc, she realizes that although she has her suitcase, her lucky lipgloss, her phone and her backup phone, she has accidentally lost track of Jodi. Linc remarks that Sun Hi should keep better track of her friends and then turns to fist pump Alex. But Alex isn't there either. Sun Hi calls Corki to see if she saw Jodi, but she hasn't seen her. Sun Hi told her not to worry and will go out and find her. Sun Hi and Linc frantically rush back inside to find them.Corki and Jared have their first video call together even though Jared is just outside near the bus and Corki is still inside the school. We see Alex and Jodi in a classroom still sewing and Sun Hi tried texting and calling her phone, but no response. She bumps into Linc and they think both Alex and Jodi are together, so look for them as one. On the bus, Heather goes up to Caleb to ask him to distract the driver while she does a vehicle inspection on the bus. Jodi and Alex finished sewing wardrobe. Sun Hi and Linc finally trace down Jodi and Alex and Linc tells them that the bus is going to leave without them and they need to leave NOW. Everyone grabbed their stuff and rushed to get on the bus.
Caleb is distracting the driver while Heather is doing her vehicle inspection. Mr. Stark messes up counting by not paying attention, eating his muffin, falling asleep and turning around continuously. While Heather checks the bus for faults, Valerie consistently pesters her to sign the form to confirm that she is the CEO of Heather's jewellery club. Heather refuses because Valerie isn't even in jewellery club. Mr. Stark messes up counting by not paying attention, eating his muffin, falling asleep and turning around continuously. He tells them to turn off their phones and they are ready to take off. Heather and Valerie are too busy in their conversation and the bus goes, leaving Sun Hi, Linc, Jodi, Alex, Heather and Valerie. Sun Hi frantically calls people on the bus but no answer. Jodi and Alex asked Sun HI and Linc on how can they let this happen and why they didn't they the bus to wait for them. Sun Hi and Linc argued back because they went back inside the school for them. Meanwhile on the bus, Corki gets lonely sitting by herself and asked Darmala if she can sit with him. He agrees and they both sit next to each other and then proceeds to tell Darmala interesting facts. Darmala becomes intrigued and got to know Corki more and found out she is like a genius Mr Stark starts to read from a book called Martin Stork in a monotonous voice and nearly everyone falls asleep.
Corki suddenly realizes the bus is moving and that Sun Hi, Jodi are missing and tells Darmala that Linc and Alex are missing too. She and Darmala frantically try to call out and signal Mr. Stark. Mr. Stark is snoring and sleeping soundly so he ignores them. Sun Hi, Jodi, Alex, Linc, Heather and Valerie rush into Ms. Diona's office. Ms Diona is painting and asks them what is wrong. When they told her that the bus left without them she tries to ring Mr Stark but since his phone is off she gets nothing except his off-tune ring tone. Corki tells Jared to throw his squirrel mascot to her but he ends up hitting Mr. Stark in the back of his head. Mr. Stark wakes up suddenly and Corki and Darmala told him that they are missing people. With no word from Mr. Stark, Ms. Diona then proceeds to call the police to round the "run away" bus back to Mackendrick Prep. The bus arrives safely back at Mackendrick, everyone got out of the bus and Mr. Starks thanked the policemen. Ms. Diona yells at Mr. Stark for forgetting the students.
