Plot
Owen has his super ball confiscated and locked up in Chef's office. Duncan, seeing an opportunity to get help escaping the daycare, leads an away team into the vents to recover Owen's ball.

Synopsis
Owen searches the daycare for his friends to show off his new uber bouncy ball. After Noah reminds him that Chef will take the ball if he's caught with it, due to the rule of no outside toys in the daycare, Duncan pressures Owen into bouncing it. Chef then takes the ball and adds it to a vault of toys, and Izzy watches him input the code.

After seeing the vent in the ceiling is open, Duncan convinces the others to break into the vault and steal the ball back, while secretly planing on only using them to help him get in the vents. After creating a map, Duncan, Izzy, Courtney, Harold, Jude, and Owen take the vents to Chef's office, with Noah staying behind to distract Chef. After successfully breaking in, Duncan ditches the rest of the group in order to escape.

Meanwhile, Noah tells Chef the rest of the children are playing hide and seek, and Chef accidentally tells Noah he's bad at a lot of things, upsetting him. In an attempt to cheer him up, Chef tries to list things he's good at but instead, again, only lists things he's bad at. After being lost in the vents due to Duncan leaving with the map, Owen smells pizza, and uses it to lead the others back the right way, however he and the others get stuck in one vent.

Outside, Duncan uses duct tape and an umbrella to attempt to escape, and ends up accidentally taping himself up. He then slams into the window and gets caught by Chef. After bringing Duncan inside, Chef questions where the rest of the toddlers are as the vent they're in breaks and they crash through the ceiling. After Chef realizes what they did, the uber ball falls out of the vent, bounces around and destroys the daycare.
