Story[]
As Donald attempts to repair Bree's damaged chip, the replacement chip keeps malfunctioning, much to Donald's frustration. Though Leo believes Douglas can help since he was the original creator, Donald refuses to even see his brother again. Realizing Donald won't change his mind, Leo finds Douglas anyway, who reluctantly agrees to help. While Donald is away, Douglas creates a new chip as close to the original as possible, and though is seems to work, it also malfunctions by causing Bree to run uncontrollably. However, Donald returns and finds out that Leo went behind his back when he sees Douglas. Donald is upset at Leo but Douglas defends him as he tells his brother that he was just trying to help, which gets the two brothers to argue. However, the two brothers put aside their differences when Leo suggest an idea in helping Bree. The three manage to keep her still, the Davenports' still can't find a solution. After several minutes, they finally find the error and collaborate for the first time in years, fixing Bree's chip and saving her life, since her heart would've exploded from the strain of her uncontrollable speed. Meanwhile, Adam and Chase try to find a way to replace Bree's speed, with varying success. While Chase manages to power up Davenport's motorcycle to go 400 mph, it runs out of gas almost instantly. After Bree's chip is fixed, Donald still kicks out his brother but does thank Douglas for his help. While watching Bree apologize for her mistake, Donald realizes everyone deserves a second chance and realized that he needs to forgive Douglas. The next morning, Donald finds Douglas as they recoiled and offers his brother a chance to move in with them temporarily, who accepts.
