YouTube
Long distance is taking its toll on Talking Ben and Xenon, but not for much longer – she's coming for a visit! What could possibly go wrong?

IMDb
Talking Ben is thrilled because his online girlfriend Xenon is coming for a visit. There's just one problem - Xenon wants to go for a drive, and Ben doesn't know how. With the clock ticking, Ben desperately tries to learn how to use a car. But this might be one thing he can't wrap his mind around.

Plot
Ben was video calling Xenon, when Xenon announces that she was coming to town. She said she really wanted Ben to take her for a drive. Ben didn't want to, but then she mentions a man named Albert who had driven her recently, so Ben agreed, feeling challenged. However, he didn't have a car.

After browsing cars online, Ben realises that he had the taxi, only it didn't have an engine. So, Ben builds one from scratch while the others scrub the car clean. Then, when Ben took the car for a test drive, he crashes into the garage; apparently he only took the written part of his driving test. Then, Ben realised that he could turn the car into a remote control car. He programmed the remote to automatically control the car.

Xenon arrived, and goes on a drive with Ben. However, Hank finds the remote and messes with it, thinking it to control Ginger's car, causing Ben's car to go haywire. Then Angela comes and tries messing with it. Ginger arrives and shows his remote to his remote control car. Then, Hank presses a button that sends Ben's car home.

They arrive with a thud, and Xenon gets mad since Ben acted as if he never drove a car. Ben confesses that he had a remote automatically control the car. Xenon acts happy for Ben, since the drive was full of "science and adventure." Then, Ginger presses a red button to Ben's horror.

 * When Ben says he's had it with Ginger's remote controlled car, Ginger says, "Hey!" too late.
 * When Angela says what a relationship without honesty is like, Tom's nose goes flat. This happen when she's groaning as well. But it goes back to normal after Ben says, "And then she'll probably leave me for Albert with the car!"
 * At 1:08, Xenon says that she will see Ben in "172 thousand seconds," but the captions write it as 172,00 seconds.
