“Bionic Houseparty” is the 23rd episode in Season 3 of Lab Rats. It first aired on February 2, 2015. This is the 69th episode overall.
Plot
Davenport lays in critical condition after the battle between the Lab Rats and Victor Krane's bionic soldiers. In an attempt to save him, Leo risks his life, to perform a dangerous bionic process. Meanwhile, after being deactivated from the Triton App, Krane’s former bionic soldiers have nowhere to go, and follow Adam home.
Story
The bionic soldiers have nowhere to go so they follow Adam home. Leo visits Davenport in the hospital to find out he wasn't doing as well as Tasha said. Mr. President tells Chase and Bree that he is looking for the soldiers and Chase and Bree decide whether or not to tell him they have the soldiers. Leo uses his energy tranference ability to save Davenport but that causes him to age faster. The President sends Agent Reed to pick up the soldiers but the first time she comes they Geo-leap away. In the end Davenport makes The Davenport Bionic Academy to send the bionic soldiers their so they can train and go on missions like Adam, Bree, Chase, and Leo.
S-1 is mentioned by both Leo and Adam in this episode.
This episode bears similarity to Crush, Chop and Burn, with the soldiers partying like teenagers and the President planning to have them placed in cells.
Leo states that Tasha still doesn't like Adam, Bree, and Chase living with them.
Leo near death
It appears the public has forgiven the team after their power surge blunder and now accepts them again. However, they're still mistrustful of the surviving members of Krane's Bionic Army.
The team tried to protect the soldiers from being captured.
S-1 is the only soldier not accounted for. Sebastian's signal may not have reached since Leo blasted her unconscious at the junkyard.
As a running gag, Sebastian kept doing the opposite of what Chase says.
The soldiers proved themselves to be good by transferring their energy to Leo in front of the president.
Donald and Leo both almost died in this episode.
This took place 24 hours after Rise of the Secret Soldiers, and deals with the aftermath of Krane's disappearance.
Leo saved Donald's life by transferring energy from himself to him.
Bionic Limbo
This caused him to make his aging process much faster.
Ironically, Leo's right (bionic) arm is the arm he uses with his walking stick when he turns old.
Tasha didn't know Douglas gave Leo an energy transferrance ability.
Goofs
Adam says, "S-1 through 29, welcome home!" despite the fact that S-1 was blasted away by Leo in the previous episode. Given that Adam isn't very bright, he may have just been unaware of S-1's absence, or he misidentified the soldiers. It's confirmed in One of Us that she wasn't among the soldiers rounded up.
Leo saves Donald with his energy transference
When Leo accidently causes Davenport's heart to stop in the hospital, the heart monitor states that Davenport's has a heart rate of 120 BPM, however a normal human's BPM is 60 to 100 BPM, meaning that Davenport's BPM should be spiking rather than stopping.
Also, during the scene, the BPM doesn't change.
When the camera switches to Donald after the Lab Rats are arguing for the bionic soldiers to remain free, none of the soldiers are visible in the background. When the camera switches again, all of them are still in the living room.
