Plot
Ben has been working on e-Levator levitating boots when he hits his head. He decides he needs an assistant to share his knowledge, and recruits Darren, Ginger's bratty and snotty rival from the tennis episode. Darren flatters Tom, Hank, and Angela, and later upstages Ginger in offering tickets to a local event. Frustrated, Ginger throws the boots and leaves. Darren offers to fix them while Tom, Angela, Ben, and Hank attend the event, but when they return, they find that Darren has stolen the boots and gave them to his uncle, who is the CEO. However, Ben is still able to control the boots, and teaches both the CEO and Darren a lesson. Ben promises to reconcile with Ginger, whom he had falsely accused of stealing the boots.
