Plot

Monster High has had a centuries-old tradition surrounding the roller-skating competition "Skultimate Roller Maze" (SKRM). When they are opposing the Gargoyles, whichever team loses will get the other team's crest. In the latest game Monster High had their crest taken away after losing to the Granite High Gargoyles, as the opposing team had cheated. Without the crest the school is deteriorating at a rapid pace, making it a necessity to win back the crest as soon as possible, however the last game left many players too injured to play. Several of the girls decide to take on the Gargoyles themselves, much to the consternation of the boys, who claim that only boys can properly participate in SKRM. They also remind them of Robecca Steam, who tried playing but was allegedly demolished and never heard from again.

The all-girls team begins practicing and slowly improves, but is disqualified at their first match due to Frankie's nervousness. They don't allow this to dissuade them from playing and also find various missing parts that allow them to rebuild Robecca Steam, who encourages them to be themselves and continue playing. This gives them the drive to keep playing, especially after a female student transfers over from Granite High and joins their team. The team then manages to progress to the point where they are able to play against the Gargoyles once more during the finals. Despite some injuries, the Monster High team wins but choose not to take Granite High's crest as they know that this will cause the same decay in their school. Like the "tradition" of male-only teams, they see this as a harmful tradition that needs to be stopped.

The episode ends with a role call of the new co-ed team: Clawd, Operetta, Manny Taur, Gil Webber, Lagoona Blue, Heath Burns, Rochelle Goyle, and Robecca Steam.
