Plot

As the Xs put things in a box, Olympia comes over. The Xs explain that they're firing Orson because, due to the fact that he's a baby, they find him useless. They give him a very generous exit package... a large basket full of baby things. They explain they give it to everyone they fire, but it's the first time someone would appreciate it. When Olympia argues that Orson won agent of the month award whole a bunch of times, Xena thinks it has something to do with Orson's cute chubby cheeks. Olympia then points out that Orson is the only agent who can drive the surveillance Ice Cream Truck, but Xavier reveals his speeding tickets from the previous day. Olympia then decides to tell the Xs a story about Orson that will change their mind.

Olympia and Otis needed to know where the villain league was meeting, and Multimedia Mike was helping them. He did silly things to show where the villain league had met in the past. When he was done, they were left with tons of information, and they didn't know how to organize it. When they saw Orson sitting in the corner stacking wooden blocks, they thought he was trying to tell them to organize the data into a bar graph. The tallest bar was the park, so Orson drove them there and they stopped the odd plan. However, the Xs didn't budge, saying that Orson wasn't telling them to make a bar graph. The only reason he was stacking wooden blocks was because he was a baby.

Owen then came over and told a story of his own. He and one hundred other Security agents were hiding trying to catch The Shapeshifter, and everyone was hungry. However, some wanted pizza, some wanted sandwiches, and some wanted hot dogs, and Owen only had time to go to one restaurant. He made everyone write down what they wanted, and he was left with tons of data. When they saw Orson eating pie, they thought he was telling them to organize the data into a pie chart. Hot dogs had the biggest section, and that's what Owen got everyone instead of pizza. Once again, the Xs didn't budge.

Ms. O then came over and told an "all work, no play" story about Orson stopping headquarters from being destroyed. Two Hydraclops were headed right for headquarters. Oona explained they needed to scare them off with something they were grossed out by. Oona's research showed that one Hydroclops didn't like gooey stuff like jam, glue, or egg yolks, and the other didn't like yellow stuff like tennis balls, school buses, and dandelions. When Oona got ready to load up the to catapults with everything, Ms. O revealed a problem: they only had one catapult and time for one shot. Ms. O used a venn diagram to find out that both didn't like egg yolks. Unfortunately, the yolks missed them, so everyone had to abandon headquarters immediately. Just then Orson grew to one hundred times his size, got a diaper that fit, walked into town, and scared both Hydroclops away for good. That convinced the Xs not to fire Orson.
