The beginning of this episode of Doc McStuffins, starts with Doc and her dad traveling inside of a car when Doc's dad abruptly stops it after a stoplight turns red quicker than he anticipated.
Doc and her father are temporarily shook up from the incident, but Doc's dad remarks that he's glad that they were all wearing a seatbelt, before continuing the drive home.
Later on, while Doc is playing in the backyard with Lambie and Stuffy, a toy rocket belonging to her neighbor Carlos suddenly appears in her backyard! The toy, Star Blazer Zero, seems initially fine after the crash, but Carlos later finds out that the toy fell apart during the crash. Doc agrees to take a look at Star Blazer Zero after Carlos asks her to and takes him, along with Lambie and Stuffy, into her clinic.
Doc is soon able to diagnose him with "Fall-Apart-A-tude" and puts Zero back together, with the help of Hallie. However, after a test-flight, Zero falls apart yet again.
Hallie suggests to Doc that she should find a way to keep Zero from falling apart and that prompts Doc to remember about the car ride she had with her dad earlier. Since a seatbelt helped her out then, she decides she should fashion a similar one for Zero to wear.
Once doing that and after a successful test flight where Zero doesn't fall apart, Doc returns him to Carlos, explaining that the seatbelt will prevent Zero from falling apart when he falls again.
With the toy fixed for good, Carlos and Doc continue playing with him as the episode ends.
