Story[]
Adam, Bree, and Chase go on a rescue mission to Davenport's secret facility in the frozen tundra to save Dr. Evans from a volcanic eruption. Meanwhile, Principal Perry crashes in on Donald, Leo and Tasha's Christmas to tell them that she accidentally ran into their decorations and she has to wait for a driver to pick her up. At Dr. Evans' facility, there was an aftershock causing a crack in his gamma-sphere. Chase makes a temporary force-field around it and Adam, Bree and Dr. Evans planted explosives to the gamma-sphere, also destroying the secret facility. Later, Principal Perry cooks dinner for the family, but makes Donald pay for it. Principal Perry got a video game system but Leo wants a video game system too like Principal Perry's. The episode ends with everyone spitting out their food, as Principal Perry tells them that she has accidentally cut off a bit of her pinky while chopping the veggies.

- When Chase was wrapped in Christmas lights, the lights were on. However, they weren't plugged into anything.
- After Adam, Bree, Chase and Dr. Evans dive into the snow, they get up without even a flake on them.
- When Adam, Bree, Chase, and Dr. Evans run out of the facility, for a short second you can see them standing still, and then start to run.
- Tundras are very windy areas, yet when Dr. Evans and the team are outside, there is no wind.
- When Adam, Bree, Chase and Dr. Evans leave Facility X, their footsteps sound as if they're walking on a studio floor rather than crunching on arctic snow. Their voices also sound as if they're in a room rather than out in the open.
- In one of the shots of the gamma-sphere you can see a part of the Mission Creek High School gym wall.
