Synopsis
When Andrea makes an app that threatens small businesses, Molly and Scratch must save the day.[1]
Plot
Molly has joined the coding club and is trying to create an app. Andrea is curious as to what Molly is doing and, despite never having coded herself, manages to fix her app. Andrea takes a great interest in coding and develops an app for Davenport's that allows people to order whatever they want from anywhere and it will immediately be delivered to them. Molly is happy and excited as Andrea credits her for giving her the idea and the McGees, as well as the rest of Brighton, become obsessed with the new Davenport app. After a month, Molly discovers that her favorite bath bomb store is closing due to competition with the app. Shortly afterward, Molly realizes that all the other stores are closing too.
Molly rushes over to Andrea to inform her about the closing of the stores, but she is too distracted by the app's success to take notice and once again thanks her for giving her the idea. Molly gets together with the owners of the closed businesses and start their own delivery service. However, Molly is unable to do it all herself, mainly because it is just her tugging a wagon, and still fails to compete with Davenport's. She next leads a protest against Davenport's to shut down the app. While Max and Dorothea Davenport refuse to close it, Andrea is shocked that her app has been causing harm towards others and teams up with Molly to shut it down.
Molly, in her Millie disguise, tricks Max Davenport into leaving his office so that Andrea can sneak in and use her laptop. Molly and Scratch manage to get Max far away just long enough for Andrea to switch out the app and turn it into a cat app that Molly had been working on earlier. With the app now officially gone, Andrea feigns being a beginner coder as businesses start to open back up. Andrea apologizes for the trouble the app caused and promises to use her coding for good from now on. Though Scratch tries to get Molly to convince her to make another app. Elsewhere at the company Bizmart, the mysterious CEO is convinced to expand a new venture into Brighton.
