"Countdown to Catastrophe" is the three-part season finale of Big Hero 6: The Series. It premiered on October 13, 2018 and is collective the twenty-second, third, and fourth episode.

Plot

After stopping Globby from stealing a piece of Krei Tech, Hiro learns from Krei that it was a broken piece from a failed Energy Amplifier. Inspired, Hiro decides to focus on recreating it for open house finals, only to be turned down by a visibly distraught Granville. Nonetheless, he continues with it, becoming so preoccupied that he ignores his friends. Honey tries to do a project on Lenore Shimamoto, so she and Wasabi break into her secret lab and find an old wax filter.

Fred concocts a plan to capture Globby by presenting a fake amplifier, but he arrives with Noodle Burger Boy who unknowingly tampers with Baymax due to Hiro arriving late. At the open house, Honey plays Shimamoto's message and she reveals herself to be the cause of the "great disaster" in the past. Obake reveals himself to Granville and has Noodle Burger Boy, Globby, and Momakase attack the open house so he can steal Hiro's amplifier. Afterwards, Granville (who is aware of Big Hero 6's identities) explains how she knows Obake.

The tampered Baymax kidnaps Hiro and takes him to Obake who reveals his plan to create a star to destroy San Fransokyo so that he can rebuild it with Hiro as his progeny. Globby has a change of heart and frees Hiro and they unite with the rest to stop the impending destruction. Honey and Globby brace the flood while Go Go and Wasabi protect the civilians and fight Momakase. Hiro, Fred, and Mini-Max then use Kentucky Kaiju to create a powerful wave that disrupts the star and causes Obake's lair to crumble. Obake frees Baymax and sends him to rescue Hiro while he resigns himself to his fate. Granville decides to pass Hiro for his heroic deeds and he admits that he is unsure if Obake survived.
