Plot

Olympia and Otis come across Oona holding a suitcase and shovel. She explains she's going to New Mexico to start a dirt farm because the Xs are coming around to see if everyone has a license to run their departments and Oona never got hers, and out of fear that she is going to get embarrassingly kicked out, she is planning to leave. Olympia asks Oona how to get the license and Oona explains she has to take a test at Department of Motorized Gadgets (DMG), something she's very bad at. Olympia decides to distract the Xs while Otis helps Oona study.

In the creature room, Olympia starts telling the Xs a story, but gets a furry arm as she touches a creature. Ocean begins to stop the spread.

Otis tests Oona on combining gadgets. He makes her combine two gadgets to get to fourteen. Otis asks her to pick a number less than fourteen, and she picks nine. Otis tells her to count on from nine to get to fourteen. When she learns fourteen is four more than nine, she combines gadgets nine and five to make fourteen. After it transports them to a parking lot, Otis gets a call from Olympia, who reveals she's part monster but promises to keep stalling.

In the medical bay, Olympia claims to Oro and the Xs that she has car noises coming from her mouth. When they don't hear anything, Olympia claims the car is parked. Oro then starts getting Olympia fixed up. When she puts a box on her head, she asks Oro what to do if she didn't have Car-itis, and Oro says she wouldn't want to put her head in that.

Otis tests Oona on combining gadgets with bigger numbers. He asks for number less then twenty-five and gets eighteen. Oona counts on once again to learn if they combine gadget eighteen and seven, they get twenty-five. Otis then gets a call from Olympia, who has a truck for a head. The Xs have a few departments left over and Otis must give Oona a dance lesson.

At the test area, Oona worries she'll do badly as Odelia apologizes for trying to destroy her. Oona asks Odelia to take it easy on her, and she agrees.

When Olympia goes to show the Xs an ice orb, she shows them how it works by freezing the door Owen keeps his license in, and it'll take an hour to thaw. In the meantime, Olympia plays an audiobook on her truck radio.

Odelia tests Oona on un-combining gadgets, which she didn't study. She has gadgets that add up to fifteen, and she must take away the right gadget to make the Hat-inator, gadget ten. She remembers Otis telling her she can do it, so she counts backwards from fifteen to get to ten and takes away gadget five. Odelia gives Oona her license.

Back at headquarters, Oona shows the Xs her license before being told to use a gadget to fix Olympia.
