Plot
The episode begins with the town hall flooding. The scene cuts to Ben introducing a cake he had baked. The cake is not well made, however, and the gang are all disgusted. Tom then comes into the garage with a sack in his hands, Angela questions him and Tom tells them that it's a literal priceless piece of art. Ginger tells him that it's weird and that he would show his FastaPic friends for Tom to interrupt him and say that nobody can see. Tom says he's under a lot of pressure and Ben says he has the antidote for stress, cake. Ben shows his cake forward for the gang to back away.

Ben starts saying how he can do things without technology, like laundry, dusting, and dish washing. This all backfires so Ben goes to Angela for help.

Angela explains how she doesn't often use technology. Angela asks Ben how he did on his first test, shopping. He apparently did well but all of his groceries fall out of the bag and onto the ground. Angela notes that she saw Mel and Flo and Ben tries to hide from them but they after find him and tell him that he was kicked out of the science community and starts mocking him. Ben tells them that he wasn't kicked out but he left so others could succeed because he was rich. Mel and Flo don't believe him but Ben says he had a famous piece of art delivered to the garage. Mel tells Flo that they should've gone and made fun of babies for their disability to count. Ben bumps into Angela who his angry at him.

Jeremy tells Tom he thinks he was in a petri dish with the squiggly guy once but Tom knocks Jeremy away with his broom, telling him to get his slime away. Ginger quickly runs down with hot mustard water balloons but Tom takes them away. Hank tells the gang his muscles were cramping from watching TV all day and that he wanted to bump into things. Tom catches their attention and tells him that he needed to protect squiggly man. Tom slips and sends a balloon flying at squiggly man but Hank catches it with a burger bun and tells him to be careful.

Angela tells Ben to go back to Mel and Flo and tell them that he lied so he does. He enters a lab to see Mel and Flo planning how to steal the squiggly painting from the garage so Ben runs back, going to warn Tom. Tom is stressing over the painting when Hank tells them all the go to the movies. Tom disagrees but when Ginger almost knocks the painting over, he agrees.

Meanwhile Ben decides to set up traps all over the house, like spilling marbles all over the floor. When Mel and Flo break in, they fall for all Ben's traps. However, they were still able to get the painting. They were about to get away, when Ben swings on the ceiling fan and kicks them into an oven, which malfunctions their jetpack. He shoots water at them, which fly them out the door.

Ginger, Tom and Jeremy come home to find the painting is exactly where it was, and Tom was relieved.
