Synopsis
When Molly and Scratch learn about Patty’s old flame, Bobby Daniels, they attempt to reunite the lovebirds.
Plot
Molly and Scratch are hanging out with Patty who is reminiscing on her adventurous old times with her friend Linda. She adds that her motto is "no regerts" (which she accidentally misspelled). However, the one "regert" that she has is that of her former flame Bobby Daniels, a bad boy biker who was nevertheless kind and considerate. Despite promising to travel the world with him, he bailed on her and she has been alone ever since. Molly and Scratch resolve to go look for him and immediately discover that he lives in Mewline and works at the library. Upon arriving with Pete, Molly and Scratch find Bobby and discover, to their surprise, that he has dropped his whole biker image.
Bobby is reminded of Patty and begins longing to see her. To prepare him, Molly and Scratch try to get him to get his biker image again, though his old age has made it impossible for him to reclaim his former glory and he gives up on trying to see Patty again. Undeterred, Molly has him follow a fake address to the retirement home where he happily reunites with Patty. The two of them spend the day together where their chemistry reunites. However, Patty is still upset with Bobby for leaving her without explanation. Bobby reveals that he got a letter from her telling him to leave, but she claims that she did not write one. At that moment, a masked rider comes and kidnaps Bobby.
Patty gives chase on her scooter with Molly and Scratch also in pursuit, though given the slow moving scooters the two of them are able to easily catch up on foot. Patty's scooter runs out of battery, forcing Scratch to possess it and get her to catch up and rescue Bobby. The driver of the other scooter turns out to be Linda who was jealous of Patty's friendship with Bobby and was afraid of him taking her away from her. Patty chastises Linda for her behavior and sends her home so they can talk later. Patty and Bobby rekindle their love and ride off, slowly, into the sunset where their scooter powers down; forcing Molly and Scratch to once again help them.
