Plot[]
The episode begins with Mordecai and Rigby getting out of Benson's car while taking an order of pizza to the dome. In the meanwhile, Rigby begins to rap along to the rhythm of Mordecai's beatboxing. While swinging a pair of keys around his index finger, it comes flinging off and breaks open a window of the dome.
As the duo look in the crash-opened window, Mordecai tells Rigby that they have to get the keys back but Rigby questions how they are going to do it. The two of them decide to ask the scientists, that are sitting at a table nearby, if they could retrieve it but one of the scientists tells them that they are not to mess around with the "test subjects" and where the keys have landed, is in Langer's penthouse which is off-limits.
Mordecai asks them if there is anything that they can do but the same scientist mentions there could be but they just won't do it since they are on their lunch break. Noticing how stale the food bars are, Mordecai tells them if they would like real food such as pizza but the scientist tells them it doesn't matter and that no one is able to get past through security to get into Langer's room. Next to him, Tobias tells him that Mordecai and Rigby could get in along with their help.
After huddling up and taking a decision, the four scientists decide to help the duo but are going to need 4 extra large pepperoni pizzas and that they will meet up with Mordecai and Rigby in an hour.
Back at the Park House, Mordecai and Rigby reach their room along with the pizzas as requested. They knock on the door and two of the scientists check with a test tube to see if the pepperoni pizza is indeed "real". After checking that it is, Mordecai and Rigby enter their room, only to see that the scientists have remodeled everything. Mordecai asks where the keys are and the scientist mentions that it's still at the same place as before but in the way they are helping Mordecai and Rigby is by turning the bedroom into a command room since Langer is overly strict with security such as infrared lasers, booby traps, and cameras all over the place. The science tells the duo that they only have an hour to retrieve the keys before Langer is done with his workout routine.
Coming to an agreement, Mordecai and Rigby go back to the dome while listening to the scientist's instructions in the earpiece provided by them. As the guards are distracted by a robot that Rachel, female scientist, made, Mordecai and Rigby are now able to get to the entrance and begin phase 1.
In order to enter inside, the scientist tells Rigby to take out of the backpack a plastic bag, which consists a pair of fake teeth but are molds of Steffen's teeth for the dental lock. The entrance door opens and the duo get inside. As they are walking, the scientist tells them to get into the elevator that will take Mordecai and Rigby to the second floor. After reaching their destination, they are going to have to get through hallway "L".
The scientist tells them to take out of the backpack a black box and to turn it on which turns out to be a fog machine. The other scientist, Steffen, tells the duo that they are not going to trigger the alarm as long they follow instructions and not mess it up. After doing different types of jumps, they successfully reach the end of the hallway and Langer's room is just nearby.
In the next room, Steffen tells Mordecai and Rigby that it is filled with motion detectors and the only way to get past through is by moving very slowly. Along with facial recognition device, Steffen tells them that they are going to have to make different faces in order not to get caught. Successfully reaching the end, Mordecai and Rigby come face-to-face with a puzzle password but Rachel tells them to reach into the backpack and take out a suction cup shaped tool. Sticking the tool on the door, it falls off but Rachel tells that one of them is going have to lick it in order for it to be stick firmly.
After Mordecai licks the suction cup, the device lets an out a laser beam that encircles around it and Mordecai and Rigby enter the room. Fascinated by what's inside, Mordecai and Rigby rush to where the keys are but the scientist tells them not to pick up the keys from the pedestal without further notice but the duo have already done so. As the pedestal sinks to the bottom, a giant globe comes tumbling down towards them along with an alarm blaring throughout the dome. The scientists tells them to just keep running straight ahead and to close the blast door.
Even though it doesn't work, the duo keep on running and enter in a yellow room that has a doorway that will take them to the main entrance. After losing the giant globe ball, the scientist tells them that the emergency lockdown sequence has been activated and to get out of there. While using a pair of jet packs, they successfully escape the room, only for two robotic guard dogs to stand in their way. As one of the robots becomes destroyed with a chemical experiment, the other crashes onto the exit wall of the dome.
Now that they are outside, Mordecai and Rigby fall to the floor and reassuring the scientists that they have successfully retrieved the keys. As the scientists begin to cheer, one of them asks if Langer knows that they have helped the duo but the others mentions that it's not a big of a deal, only for Langer to notice that he has spying on them this entire time on his phone.
In the end, Mordecai and Rigby give Benson back his keys since they borrowed his car without asking. Benson begins to get angry but Mordecai assures him that the car is fine and no damage has been done. Seeing that it is how it is, Benson tells them that they can use the car at any moment. In the end after Benson leaves, Rigby tells Mordecai that he wants to go on a pizza run, only for him to spin the keys and letting it crash through the same window as it did in the beginning.
