Mech-X4 S2 E15

## Plot

To celebrate the defeat of Traeger, the guys and Leo are playing a board game in the robot. Spyder is feeling sick due to getting food poisoning. Veracity is touring a girls' school for geniuses. Ryan is crushing everyone else at the board game, which is surprising, because he's normally so bad. Leo usually wins, and the guys never get past the first round because they keep hassling Ryan. Mark reaches down to pick up the dice, but doesn't look under the table. Everyone is oblivious to the bomb underneath them. They all hear the ticking noise, but they think Leo's doing it. He leaves to go to the bathroom. However, the elevator doesn't show up. He remembers that he took it offline when he was doing the upgrades. Spyder feels nauseous, and finally sees the bomb under the table. The others think he's seeing things at first, but he makes them look under the table. Ryan can't use his power to stop it. There are no electrical components. Mark tells Harris to get a small drill from his toolbox, and he sends Spyder on a wild goose chase. He tells Leo about the bomb. Harris gives the drill to Mark. However, it speeds up. He can't jam it. There's only one minute left. It's made of gears. They can freeze them with a coolant from the power system. Ryan gets it, and they stop the bomb. At first, they think Harper planted the bomb. However, it used an egg timer, which means it was placed there within the last hour, and Harper left days ago. Harris and Leo designed the security system to keep Grey out. They check the cameras, and see that the footage jumps from 6:09 to 6:42. The last half hour of footage was erased, but only on the interior cameras. The exterior cameras didn't show anyone coming or going. This means one of them planted the bomb. Ryan went crazy in the Arctic, Harris turned into a monster, and Harper could've given any of them a brain monster to control them. They decide to go over what they did right before the game. The culprit would just lie, but when the others find the hole in their story, they'll know who it was. Mark was working on an engine rebuild. He texted Georgia, passed Ryan in the hallway, and asked Leo for a tool. However, Leo says that the tool he borrowed wasn't a wrench, or any tool you'd use on an engine. It was a needle. They others ask to see the engine, but he says no. They see he was actually working on embroidery. Georgia got him into it for cosplay, and they do it while they watch basketball. The sewing machine is still warm, so he did work on it before the game. Spyder claims that he was working on math in the med bay to cure his food poisoning. Harris tells him it was a fever dream. He took care of him in the med bay, and then he woke up and threw up on his sneakers. Spyder saw Harris before and after he fell asleep, and Ryan saw him too. Harris still had enough time to plant the explosive though. However, Leo cut the power to the elevator, so it was literally impossible for Harris to do all that in such a short time. Ryan claims that he wanted to do some training exercises before the game. He saw Mark in the hallway, and then trained in the control center the whole time. Leo says that when he cut the power to the elevator, it also cut the power to the control pad, so that's a lie. Ryan lied because he cheated in the game. He was tired of losing, so he teched out the dice to control them. That's how he was winning. He got the pieces from the med bay while Spyder was asleep. Harris saw him, but he claimed he was just checking on Spyder. He shows them the chips in the dice to prove it. That's everyone… except Leo. He says he would never try to blow up his own robot. And them, of course. He was in his workshop the whole time, doing upgrades. He installed a neck massager on his chair, and the paint should still be wet. When they get there though, they see the blueprints for the bomb, and all the materials to build it. He says he didn't put any of that there. He admits that he is keeping something from them, and uses a secret code to make the wall flip around. They find him in the control center. He wants to leave until they cool off, but they won't let him. He uses another code to get weapons. There's no tech in them. He built them after what happened to Ryan in the Arctic. He's disappointed in them, especially Ryan, for turning on him. He protected him when he was a baby, and never gave him up when Harper had him in prison. He causes a blackout, chains them all up, and escapes. Later on, Ryan talks to Harris. He thinks he should've realized that something was off with Leo. Harris tells him that none of them saw it coming. Leo was locked up for years, and they were working with the guy who did that to him. They think it drove him crazy. Ryan thanks him and leaves. However, it turns out that Harris really *did* plant the bomb, and framed Leo. He's following orders from Traeger, and it's possible that he doesn't even realize it. Traeger tells him not to fail next time. He may have driven off Leo, but he has to kill Ryan next time.
