Synopsis[]
YouTube[]
Long distance is taking its toll on Talking Ben and Xenon, but not for much longer – she's coming for a visit! What could possibly go wrong?
IMDb[]
Talking Ben is thrilled because his online girlfriend Xenon is coming for a visit. There's just one problem - Xenon wants to go for a drive, and Ben doesn't know how. With the clock ticking, Ben desperately tries to learn how to use a car. But this might be one thing he can't wrap his mind around.
Plot[]
Ben is video-calling Xenon, when he says that he likes their long-distance relationship. This reminds Xenon about her surprise for Ben - she is going to be seeing him in town this weekend. Ben wants to do something romantic with Xenon, and Xenon has the idea to go driving with Ben, as she had so much fun driving with her work friend Albert - who works at the Gentle Mechanics division - last week. Ben agrees to drive with her, but deliberately hides the fact that he did not own a functioning car. Tom and Angela appear next to Ben on the bench, and Tom reminds him that he doesn't have a car. Later, Ben attempts to acquire a car before Xenon arrived at the garage.
Ben calls a car salesman but it turns out that he lacked the funds needed to purchase a car. Tom and Ben get the idea to repair the broken taxi that had been stored in the driveway and repurposed as a barbecue. After the car is fixed, Ben attempts to drive it, but lacks the driving skills needed to convince Xenon he could drive. So, he decides to turn the taxi into a remote-controlled car, whose path is pre-programmed so Ben would not have to drive the car in real time.
Xenon arrives to go driving with Ben. However, Hank, mistaking the remote - that Ben threw behind a rock - to be that of Ginger's remote-controlled car, uses the remote to try to drive Ginger's car, but instead it controls Ben's car. Ben's car speeds uncontrollably before returning to the garage.
Later, when Xenon is mad at Ben, he admits that he tricked Xenon into believing he could drive a car. Despite being deceived, Xenon chooses to forgive him, impressed with Ben's work in creating a life-sized, remote-controlled car. At that moment, Ginger is about to press a red button on the remote, to Ben's horror.
