Synopsis[]
Today's Darington's birthday party.
The episode begins at the Axle City Garage, which is decorated for a party. AJ and Gabby explain to the viewer that today is Darington's birthday and they are getting the garage ready for his celebration. Darington is excited and proclaims it will be the best party ever, but when he tries to show off the birthday cake, he finds an empty pedestal. Darington becomes disappointed, believing that his party is being prepared without a cake. However, Gabby informs him that the cake is at the bakery, which cheers him up. Blaze and AJ suggest picking up the cake while Darington and Gabby finish decorating. Darington gratefully accepts, and Blaze and AJ take off.
Arriving at the bakery, Blaze and AJ meet Clive, who presents the birthday cake to them. The cake is the biggest ever seen, and smells tasty. All it needs are candles, so Blaze and AJ go inside to find some.
Thanks to Crusher, the plate is going out of control.
Unbeknownst to them, Crusher and Pickle are approaching from down the road, with Pickle singing about everything he sees. Crusher is unamused, but when Pickle spots Darington's cake, he instantly brightens and wants to eat it, unaware of its owner. He constructs a flying robo-plate to retrieve it, but because it moves very slowly and he is impatient, he attempts to make it fly faster. This results in him shattering off the remote, causing the plate to fly out of control.
Crusher and Pickle chase the cake just as Blaze and AJ are exiting the bakery with the candles. When they see the cake flying past and Crusher in pursuit, they realize he's trying to steal it, despite knowing that it's for Darington's party. Blaze says they have to get back the cake first, and they hurry after it, as the sound of Burn Rubber is heard.
The cake flies down the city streets, and as Crusher frantically tries to follow it, Pickle comes forward with some mail that is addressed to them. He asks Crusher to open it, but he refuses due to not having any time for that. When they hear Blaze and AJ, Pickle infers that Blaze wants the cake but Crusher is determined not to let him get it. So he sends out bumper bots which bump him away.
Using Kinetic energy to bump the bumper bots away.
Blaze points out there's only one way to get past the bumper bots: they have to bump them away even harder than they do. AJ decides to use kinetic energy - the energy something has when it's moving. As Blaze charges for the bumper bots, he speeds up accordingly with help from the viewers and manages to bump all of them away. He and AJ then sing a kinetic energy song as they pass through the amusement park and try it out.
Crusher is still chasing the cake with a butterfly net, and Pickle has once again showed him the unopened mail which he refuses to open. When he attempts to catch the cake, he misses it and catches a woodpecker instead which pecks him all over.
Blaze using kinetic energy to break the wall.
As Crusher enters a tunnel, he hears Blaze's horn and panics, and builds a wall to stop him from following him. Blaze concludes only a powerful machine can break it - a crawler crane with a heavy wrecking ball. Transforming into one, he swings with enough kinetic energy from the viewer's help and breaks down the wall. They continue on, but they have to hurry as Darington's party is going to start soon.
Now in the forest, Crusher is still desperately chasing the cake and again refuses to open the mail Pickle gave them. He attempts to grab it with a fishing pole, but again he misses and gets the pecking woodpecker instead.
Using the bighorns help to get him to the other side.
When he sees Blaze coming yet again, Crusher really is in panic and he really does not want Blaze gets the cake, so he decides to make one last machine to stop him: a super slippery ice machine, to ice the ground, making it too slippery for Blaze to drive on and cannot move. To get across, he needs someone with kinetic energy to bump him forward. Blaze then spots a bighorn in the forest, and since bighorns love bumping things, he asks him to bump him. The request works, but it wasn't enough for him to get all the way across and Crusher gets on a log to finally get the cake. Blaze has the viewers find more bighorns for him, and with that, he makes it to the cake and gets it back, doing Crusher loses his balance and fall into the mud.
Crusher get invited to Darington's birthday party...
Crusher cries, saddened that he didn't get the cake. Blaze explains that it is for Darington's birthday party—the very thing they had been trying to tell him all along. Crusher apologizes, insisting he never would have touched someone else's cake if he had known who it belonged to, though he still admits he'd like a piece. He then agrees to open the mail Pickle gave him and is overjoyed to find it is an invitation to Darington's party. However, the party is about to start, so Blaze uses Blazing Speed to get them back to the garage in time.
...and the episode ends with everyone celebrating his birthday.
Returning to the garage, Blaze puts the cake in its proper spot, and all the guests arrive. Darington welcomes them in and starts his party, and soon it is all underway. Darington thanks Blaze for making this his best birthday ever, and everyone wishes Darington a happy birthday, ending the episode.
