An old friend is back, but there's something strange about him...

IMDb
Talking Ben feels terrible about a fight with Talking Ginger and wants to make it up to him the best way he knows how - with a customized gift signed by the coolest guy on earth, Will Z. But when Will Z comes to visit, something about him seems wrong. Is it possible there's such thing as being too cool?

Plot
In the previous episode, Ben chose Darren over Ginger as a friend, and kicked Ginger out of the garage. Now that he realized Darren's true intentions, he had to apologize to Ginger for mistreating him. He decided to build him a custom hoverboard, but he also planned on getting Will Zee, Tom's coolest friend.

Tom tried to call him, but the automated voice told him that Will was "too cool for phones." So, he tries different methods to reach him. His final attempt was to send him a video on FastaPic of dolphins in a dune buggy. He waited a little before announcing that Will didn't get the video.

Just then, the lights start to flicker, a rope starts to swing to and fro, some funky music starts to play, and the windows and doors open and close. Then a giant golden vortex opens up in the ceiling and a shiny Will Zee floats down. Will floats around and parkours around the garage, and speaks a "language of coolness."

Ginger opens the door, and Ben invites him in, to which Ginger refuses at first but sees Will Zee and gives him a fist bump. Ben offers Ginger the hoverboard and asks Will to sign it. Will traces his finger, and his autograph mysteriously appears on the hoverboard in gold ink. Ginger gladly accepts the apology.

However the friends struggle to understand Will's language. Hank is worried that something was wrong with Will. They consult Dr. Internet Doctor, who diagnoses Will with "extreme coolness." He transfers them to the "coolest doctor," a physicist, though it was really the same person in a different outfit.

The "physicist" explains that Will's inner nerd is gone, and without it Will would be sucked into the Coolverse via a portal. The portal grows stronger and tries to suck Will away. So, the doctor suggests Tom using his inner nerd to wake up Will's. Tom turns to Ben, assuming Ben was nerdy enough. Ben denies it, even Irish step dancing while reciting pi. Just then, the portal grew significantly stronger, so thinking quickly Hank throws some nerd glasses onto Will's face, which turns into shades. Angela tries yodeling with an accordion, and Tom tries miming.

Unfortunately the portal was just too strong and the portal sucked Will Zee away. Saddened, Tom reminisces about how he used to sing the Pajama Pals them song. So, they get an idea. They all sing the Pajama Pals theme song, and soon Will Zee reappears and joins them. His inner nerd was awakened and he was kicked out of the Coolverse. They all continue to sing the Pajama Pals theme song until the episode ended.
