Lab Rats 1x6 Jun 2026
If you haven’t seen Season 1 in a while, queue up Episode 6. It’s the perfect 22-minute reminder that sometimes, the best superpower is learning how to share.
The episode features the series' core cast in their early-season dynamics:
Leo quickly discovers that Grandma Davenport is a "smother"—a combination of smothering and mothering. She treats Donald not as a billionaire inventor and CEO, but as a helpless child. She brings baby food, oversanitizes his environment, and constantly critiques his lifestyle. Leo finds himself caught in the middle of a cringe-worthy dynamic where the authoritative Donald Davenport is reduced to a nervous child seeking his mother's approval. This subplot serves as a foil to the A-plot: while the bionic teens are fighting to establish their individual identities, Donald is fighting to assert his adulthood. Lab Rats 1x6
is that episode.

It also delivers one of the best one-liners of the series. When the claw finally activates on its own and starts chasing Davenport around the lab like a possessed cat, Adam looks at the camera and deadpans: "Told you it needed an off switch." She treats Donald not as a billionaire inventor
The episode takes a sharp turn when Leo, trying to mediate (or show off), ends up launching the claw into the ventilation system. The team has to work together—without super speed or strength—to retrieve it before Davenport returns.
What is the Velocity Claw? Only the coolest (and most dangerous) piece of hardware in the basement. It’s a high-speed, retractable claw that allows the user to climb walls and slice through metal like butter. Naturally, Adam wants it. Bree wants to prove she’s responsible enough to use it. Chase wants to analyze it. And Leo? Leo just wants to survive the hour.
