Synopsis[]
When the Bears find Chloe in the Library exhausted, they try to help her study, but only make things worse.
Plot[]
The episode begins with a shot of the public library. Students sit at tables studying and at computers, bleary eyed and tired. The Bears are returning books that are overdue and they each have an excuse on why they shouldn't be fined. Grizzly says that his was due on a holiday, Panda says that he didn't like his, so they shouldn't count it, and Ice Bear says that he lost his. The librarian sighs and says that she's going on break. Ice Bear is looking across the room and spots a familiar face.
Chloe is sitting at a table, studying and murmuring to herself. Grizzly is having trouble getting her attention, but when he does, the Bears find that she is very disheveled. She says that she has a huge Chemistry test the next day and that she's been studying for a few days straight. She says that the test is worth half their grade for the course. Panda volunteers to help her, and his brothers agree. Panda volunteers to print another practice test, Ice Bear says that he'll find Chloe her missing book, and Grizzly says that he'll stay with her and keep her awake. They all put their hands together, throw them in the air, and yell "Study Time!"
Panda sits down at one of the computers and is shocked at how "retro" it is. He finds the power button and boots it up. As he's waiting for the computer to turn on, which takes forever, he turns on his phone and scrolls through it. Next we see Ice Bear asking the same librarian from earlier for the location of Chloe's book, but as he's asking another person comes and asks for the same book, basically finishing his sentence. The librarian says that they only have one copy and their eyes widen. She says where they will find it and the race is on.
Now we see Grizzly and Chloe sitting at their table. Grizzly shows Chloe the book he's holding and he has highlighted the whole chapter. He asks if that helps and she bangs her hand on the table. He drags her away from the table so she can stretch for a little bit. Grizzly starts doing jumping jacks and tells Chloe to do it, but she only lifts her arms weakly. He brings her to a water fountain and splashes water on her face. She just moans. He sees the sign for a lower level and brings her down there, looking for food.
We go back to Panda and a loading screen. He is losing his patience. It finally shows up and he is relieved. He finds the print button, but when he hits it an error message comes up. He tries to get rid of it, but they multiply and swirl around the screen. He gets very frustrated and an older librarian comes over to help him. He thanks her. She moves pretty slowly, but the document finally starts to print. However, the page prints very slowly.
Back to Ice Bear and the student as they run through the library, trying to beat each other to the book. They find it and as they're fighting for the book, the bookshelf tips and they crash to the ground. Ice Bear emerges from a pile of books holding Chloe's book, but she snatches it out of his hand.
Grizzly drags Chloe up to a candy vending machine. He presses a few buttons on the keypad and after a second, he kicks the machine. Everything pours out of it. He scoops up some of it and hands a piece to her. He keeps giving her more and more until her eyes go wide. She has regained her energy, and starts going on a sugar rush. She speeds away, faster than Grizzly can see.
Panda is still waiting for the first page of the practice test to print. He pulls the rest of the paper out of the printer and it smears, leaving lines instead of words. He rests his head on the printer, defeated. Now he's sitting at the computer again, copying the test by hand. He has one page done and goes to check how many more he has, and he realizes that there are 200 pages in the test. He motivates himself by saying that he's doing it for Chloe. The old librarian lady comes over again and tries to take the paper so he doesn't have to copy it all, but he refuses, pulling it back. She grabs it, and Panda loses his patience and yells at her. She rips the paper into shreds.
The student is sneaking around a bookshelf. She opens the book, thinking that Ice Bear can't see her, but he parts a section of books on the shelf behind her. They start the chase again.
Chloe appears from running up the stairs and starts running through the library again. She grabs books off shelves and continues to dash around.
Now Ice Bear and the girl are sliding on the library ladders. She is about to grab the book but Ice Bear tips himself off the ladder and she keeps going, whizzing by. He delivers it to Chloe's table and Panda arrives right after him, asking for glue or tape. Chloe jumps onto her table, knocking the book out of Ice Bear's hands and onto another pile of books. The girl grabs it and runs away. He starts to go after her but Grizzly arrives and asks if they've seen Chloe. After a minute of thinking Grizzly brings them to the vending machine, a pile of snacks still sitting in front of it. They start to eat the chocolate bars. At first nothing happens, but after a few seconds, their eyes widen and their speech slows down.
We see time slow down. They walk up the steps and everything is super slow there too. They figure out that the sugar has slowed down time and now they dash through the library. They find Chloe, taking a book out of someone's hand. Grizzly asks what's she's doing and reminds her about her Chemistry test. She starts to panic, but he tells her to calm down and tells them all his plan. Panda goes to print the practice test, Ice Bear goes to get the book and Grizzly and Chloe go to find more studying stuff.
Panda types super fast and the pages fly out of the printer. Ice Bear searches for the girl, and when he finds her he takes the book before she can see who took it. Chloe and Grizzly run down aisles, dashing back and forth and laughing like crazy. Chloe speeds through the books one by one. The moon turns into the sun and everyone wakes up from sleeping on the floor. Chloe checks her phone to see what time it is and they discover that it is almost noon.
The Bears stack running with Chloe sitting on top. They are all starting to crash from the sugar. They arrive at the university and collapse at the door of Chloe's classroom. She begs to take her test, even though they're late. Her professor tells her that the test isn't that day. Chloe collapses, ending the episode.

Cultural References[]
- When Chloe and the Bears are dashing, the sound made is the dashing sound from the original The Powerpuff Girls.
- When the Bears are going checking the upper levels after getting a sugar high, one of the students has a hat with a tree on it. This is a reference to Dipper's hat from Gravity Falls.
- When Panda turns on a computer, a message is shown as its booting up. This message includes the name of the operating system, which is Doors. This is a parody of Windows, a popular line of operating systems made by Microsoft.
- Additionally, when the computer turns on, it greatly resembles that of Windows 98, with the startup sound to boot.
- The Internet icon on the computer is resemblant to the original Internet Explorer icon.
- When Chloe and the Bears go on a sugar rush, they move super fast while everything around them moves super slow. This could be a reference to Clock Up from Kamen Rider Kabuto.
- The sugar rush Chloe and the Bears went through could also be a reference to the sugar rush Mordecai, Rigby, Pops and Skips went through in the Regular Show episode "Sugar Rush".
- When Chloe eats so much sugar and goes all crazy with running, this is the same as when Mac from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends gets hyped up on sugar and runs fast but he's always never allowed to eat sugar so both Chloe and Mac get hyped up on the sugar and run around fast.
Errors[]
- Grizzly highlights a chapter of a book with a pencil but the ink that appears to have highlighted the page was that of a yellow highlighter.
- When Chloe is seen knocking a book out of a student's hand, her pupils are dilated. A few frames later when the Bears are seen talking to her, her pupils are normal again.
- When Ice Bear and the woman in a blue jacket race on their ladders, the black librarian's green sweater has sleeves.
