In the middle of their date, Brigitte ends up talking on the phone for a long time, causing Colt to realize he doesn't really like Brigitte that way. He chats with the rest of the gang to come up with a way to dump her. Chet suggests he cheats on her, but not actually cheat on her, just make it "look like you're cheating". During this conversation, Chet see's the mascot sneaking around and chases after him. Colt goes to class, bumping into fellow student Amelia Earhart. The two begin talking, and Colt realizes she is the perfect girl to use for their plan. Meanwhile, Chet is busy chasing the mascot, becoming late for class. Melvin and Brigitte are attending chess club when Rex and Bullet show up, challenging to a chess battle for their scooters back. They agree, and set the battle on the next day. Over the night, Chet is drugged by the mascot in his sleep, causing him to sleep through his class and miss it again. In the morning, Melvin and Brigitte have their chess battle with Rex and Bullet. Colt shows up with Amelia, knowing Brigitte will be there, and kisses Amelia behind her back. Brigitte turns in time to see this, and leaves him and Melvin. Melvin realizes he lost the chess game, and Colt is slapped by Amelia for being used. Melvin goes to console in Chet, finding him sleeping on the floor. Chet tells him that Colt is just that way, and he should get used to him being a jerk. While thinking of past events, Colt is kidnapped by Rem, awakening in front of Tyler Marks. Tyler tells him he has a hatrid for him, and informs him that Rem is in fact a robot created to destroy Colt. Colt simply leaves the room, realizing he was never actually tied up. Meanwhile, Brigitte walks in on Emilio and the mugger drawing up some kind of plan on a table. On Cotl's way out of his kidnapping, he is kidnapped once again, this time by the mysterious mugger.
