The Lab Rats plan to gain good publicity by having cameramen film them during a mission, but it turns into a disaster when they fight for screen time. After the mission, the president orders the team to stay away from the public in order to let him settle things down. However, it goes wrong when Leo and Principal Perry are holding back angry protesters who want the Lab Rats gone, and Leo accidentally uses his bionic arm. As the protesters become even more enraged, they try to storm the house; Adam panics and uses his bionic super breath to blow everyone off the premises. However, Chase criticizes Adam's actions and the Lab Rats start fighting. They eventually decide to break the team. Three weeks later, the Lab Rats refuse to talk to each other, but they are forced into action when Krane plans to use his Triton App on everyone in the world. A large battle ensues, pitting Leo, Donald, Douglas, and the Lab Rats against Krane and his bionic army. Most of the soldiers attack Adam and Bree, who manage to take them out. Chase has a one-on-one battle with S-3 and Leo has one-on-one battle against S-1. Donald and Douglas attack the soldiers surrounding the satellite, but Krane keeps them from getting too close. Eventually, the Lab Rats and the rest of the team manage to hold back many of the soldiers, but they are running out of time to stop Krane. Douglas then reveals that the Lab Rats can fuse their abilities to stop Krane. They succeed, blasting Krane into the sky and breaking his control over the soldiers. However, their victory is cut short when they find out that Donald is in serious condition after the battle. Later they find out that after the surgery, Donald is still in a very delicate condition. Leo is made an official member of the Lab Rats and gets an upgrade to his bionic arm.

Donald is in critical condition after the battle with Krane and his soldiers; Leo visits him in the hospital and in an attempt to save him, he risks his life to perform a dangerous bionic process, accelerating his aging process, thus turning him into an old man. Meanwhile, after being deactivated from the Triton App, Krane’s former bionic soldiers have nowhere to go and follow Adam home. The Lab Rats try to protect them because they aren't evil anymore. However, the president doesn't get this and tries to have them arrested, but changes his mind when the soldiers use their powers to heal and save Leo who almost died of old age. Right when they are going to be taken into custody, a newly healed Donald strikes up a deal with the president to build an academy for the soldiers.

Leo finds out that he will be a student at the bionic academy, not a mentor like Adam, Bree and Chase. Chase engages in a battle against a former nemesis and Adam mentors a younger student.

Donald leaves the Lab Rats in charge of the bionic academy while he celebrates his anniversary with Tasha. Leo invites Janelle to the island, but gets distracted by his nemesis, Spin. Spin challenges Leo to a bionic battle. Meanwhile, Adam tells Bob to do all the things he can't do when Donald is around. Bob goes ahead and steals Donald's plane, but he then hits a button that deactivates the auto-pilot. Sebastian and the Lab Rats work together to save Bob. Back at the bionic battle, Leo tries to impress Janelle by battling with Spin. Spin gets the first attack and knocks Leo over. Leo then fights back and hits Spin in the leg. Janelle rushes over to Spin, who is crying, and helps him up. Janelle gets upset at Leo and takes Spin to get a smoothie. It is then revealed that Spin faked the injury so Janelle would spend time with him. Leo tries to prove that Spin is faking it by taking his crutches. Janelle then yells at Leo and carries Spin away. Leo tries again by filming Spin admitting faking the injury, but Spin then smashes Leo's tablet. Janelle walks in and yells at Leo and Spin. Leo and Spin then become her servants and they must give her the vacation that she deserves. Later, Adam uses Donald's jet wing to fly up to the jet and save Bob. When Adam tries re-activating the auto-pilot, the plane begins to fall. Adam helps Bob conquer his fear of heights by jumping out of the jet. Bob takes Adam's parachute and Adam jumps out to try to get it from Bob. At Donald's house, just as Donald finishes setting up the table, Adam and Bob fall through the ceiling. Donald is disappointed with the Lab Rats. Adam confesses and tells him that he wasn't a good mentor. Bob tells Donald that Adam was a good mentor by boosting his confidence. Donald then tells him that his plane was a smart plane that even without the auto-pilot the plane would land itself automatically.

When Leo is chosen for a mission over Spin, Spin recruits Bob to join him on an unauthorized mission to prove themselves. They both end up stuck in quicksand and call Leo to save them. After Leo rescues them, Donald decides to move Leo up a color. Meanwhile, Principal Perry returns saying that she wants a job as head of security at the academy. After countless attempts, Donald agrees, leaving Leo in a particular despair. Meanwhile, Sebastian tries to help Chase get revenge on Adam with a virtual reality machine. After that, Chase tells him about his creator and how they took him out. Later, Sebastian injures Donald with the machine used to prank Adam. When the Lab Rats take Donald to the medic, Sebastian turns evil and says that if they took away his father, then he is going to take away theirs.

Sebastian has secretly formed an evil rebellion to get revenge on the Lab Rats for destroying his father. Meanwhile, Leo is trapped with the other bionic people who also want revenge, but Leo manages to convince Spin and Bob to help him, and, in the end, Sebastian is defeated, his rebellion is brought down, and he and his comrades are taken to a facility. Meanwhile, Donald successfully convinces the others that he has the best interest for them at heart while Adam still blames Chase for everything that happened after the rebellion is over.
