They follow the bot to a large hoard of valuable items in the forest. They fight off the bots on the scene with the help of Roy. However, they also find the surfboard Tom wanted, along with Tom's journal that claimed that he was willing to do anything to save his business. The friends were suspicious of Tom until they saw the bots marching and saluting at Tom. his friends thought that Tom sabotaged The Helping Hand and all of them sadly rejected Tom and leave him.

Under disguise, Tom heads over to the garage to explain it was a mistake, only to find Roy at the door. Roy admits everything, he hacked The Helping Hand then planted Tom's journal in the forest. He throws Tom to the ground, exposing his identity. The angry mob chases Tom from the town.
