Synopsis[]
After Aunt Cass nearly discovers Hiro's secret membership in the Big Hero 6, Hiro decides to play matchmaker and find Aunt Cass a boyfriend to distract her.
Plot[]
Representing the Frederickson family in his father's place, Fred invites Hiro, Baymax and Go Go to the unveiling of a new product at Krei Tech Industries called "Buddy Guard": A small military grade drone designed to be a personal bodyguard. It is capable of countering any attack, armed with lasers, bolas launchers, and Flexible Display Technology that can turn it invisible.
After the presentation, Hiro compliments Krei on it. Krei thanks Hiro and says that, coming from him, it means a lot. However, the flexible display technology was designed by Doctor Mel Meyer, who is not pleased with what Krei has done with his invention. He originally wanted it to be used for fun things at surprise parties. When Krei refuses to give back Mel's plans, he vows to get back at him.
Meanwhile, Hiro struggles with keeping his Big Hero 6 identity a secret from his aunt Cass, who almost busts him from time to time. He cannot just tell her he is a superhero because, according to Fred, she would go berserk. So, he decides to find her a date to distract her.
Later at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, Hiro and his friends are visited by Krei, who wants them to inspect the Buddy Guard. Taking up what Hiro and Go Go said earlier about safeguards, it turns out the drone has some glitches that his employees could not decipher. He personally wants Hiro and his friends to make sure the drone is safe in exchange for keeping their Big Hero 6 identities a secret, much to their shock and dismay. As Krei leaves, he bumps into Cass, who catches him and keeps him from falling. When Hiro asks why she came, she tells him, "You forgot your chemistry homework." Krei plays on the words telling Cass, "I think I'm feeling a little chemistry right now." which Cass takes as flirting on Krei's part. Much to Hiro's displeasure, Krei and Cass instantly fall for one another. Hiro tries to get his aunt away from Krei, leading him to learn her name at first thinking her name is actually 'Aunt Cass'. She tells him, "People who aren't my nephew just call me Cass." Krei asks her out for dinner, and she accepts, "I'd be delighted to, Mr. Krei." he then plays on her words again and tells her, "People who aren't your nephew call me Alistair." Go Go then tells a miserable and disgusted Hiro, "Looks like you got what you wanted. Congratulations."
By evening, Hiro is still unhappy with his aunt dating Krei. While it was his idea to get Cass to date, he did not want it to be with Krei. Krei then shows up at the Lucky Cat Café with a bouquet of flowers. Krei comments that it's the third time he's seen Hiro that day. Hiro replies, "Yea, third time. But it's not the charm."
Krei steps in, ruffles Hiro's hair, and says, "Ha! Funny, I think." Then tells him, "Jokes aren't really my thing. Is your aunt ready?" Cass answers the question herself, "She is." and shows up, dressed and ready to go.
Krei stands in awe of her as Baymax tells him, "Mr. Krei, your heart rate is elevated. Are you feeling well?" to which Krei tells Baymax that he feels, "better than well." He presents the flowers to her, and she gives them to a sulking Hiro before leaving. After angrily dumping the flowers in the toilet, Hiro worries about what might happen if Cass and Krei's date goes well. He asks Baymax, "They couldn't get married, could they?" Baymax tells him that they could since they're legally allowed to, "Mr. Krei would then be your uncle." Hiro is horrified at the idea, "Uncle Krei?! Not happening!" and goes to spy on them. Meanwhile, Honey Lemon, Go Go, and Wasabi are still working on the drone. Wasabi tells Go Go, "You and Hiro were right. It wouldn't take much of a glitch to scramble this thing's programming." Go Go asks where Hiro is. Honey Lemon tells her that he just texted her, "He's busy following Krei and Aunt Cass on their date." Fred later shows up with some dinner for everyone: Noodle burgers and coke, "Who needs a noodle burger break?" To which Honey Lemon and Go Go answer in the affirmative saying they were starving. Fred accidentally spills coke on the drone, which causes it to power up and attack them. They eventually disable it and realize that its threat assessment program was shorted out when it got soaked, making it think they were all enemies.
Hiro and Baymax follow Krei and Cass to a fancy restaurant, and Hiro sneaks in through the backdoor using Baymax as a decoy. He finds Cass and Krei sitting at a table, getting more and more acquainted with one another. They both realize that they love origami. Hiding under a serving trolley, Hiro causes a waiter to trip and spill Krei's food on his shirt. He gets ticked off, but then tries to be calm and forgivable in front of Cass. Then he goes to the washroom to get cleaned up, where he is ambushed by Doctor Mel. He has him tied up, and then walks out of the washroom looking like Krei, wearing his flexible display invention around his face. He prepares to go back to Krei Tech to steal back his plans but is forced to take Cass along when she thinks he is the real Krei. Both Hiro and Baymax notice something is off, which is confirmed when Hiro finds Krei tied up in the washroom.
Upon arriving at Krei Tech, Mel breaks into Krei's office, but Krei and Big Hero 6 are already there waiting for him. After taking back the the flexible display plans from Mel, Big Hero 6 tell Krei that he cannot sell those drones because of what happens when they get wet. Krei agrees to delay shippings until they are perfected. He then tries to get the drones to apprehend Meyer, who gets behind Fred. He ends up tickling him, causing him to ignite his flamethrower, setting off the sprinklers. The drones get wet, and they go haywire like before. They easily beat Big Hero 6, and then chase after Mel. Cass is still in the limousine showing pictures of Mochi to the chauffeur. Mel shows up and gets in the back, while Cass takes the wheel when the (totally not interested) chauffeur runs off. Racing through the streets, the drones chase after Cass and Mel. Hiro and Baymax eventually catch up with them after breaking free of their restrains. Baymax destroys two of the drones, and Hiro hitches a ride on one until it crashes. Cass and Mel escape to the woods, but one remaining drone catches up with them. Cass and Mel try to escape on foot but become cornered until Baymax's rocket fist takes out the last drone. Afterwards, Mel is arrested, Cass dumps Krei after seeing his true colors, and Hiro has decided to stop meddling in his aunt's personal life.
