Sherman is in his lab, working on something and ranting about party balloons, when Andy comes down to give him lunch, only to find that ''something'' has gone wrong. Sherman gets Calvin and Hobbes, who are working on the former's math homework, to see the problem: Socrates' transmitter chip has merged with his mind, becoming a part of his consciousness. This is bad, since it renders the chip worthless ''and'' has the chance of erasing Socrates' personality, leaving him an EmptyShell.

It works, and the light dissipates to reveal a colorful field, causing the dark Socrates to fade into smoke. With the chip now separated from Socrates' mind, the world inside becomes unstable, with winds blowing and everything fading. The trio escape and find a link home (represented by a space capsule), but Calvin pauses for a bit to point out the forbidden door to Hobbes - it's not fading with the rest of the world..

Unfortunately, in the light is yet another Socrates - a much more hostile one, who is [[DarkIsEvil entirely black]] and sports {{red eyes|Take Warning}}, forcing them to get in and start repairing the chip - or rather, get the chip and his mind to be separate once more.

He's the only one who knows about the chip, and is trying to use its fault to take over his mind.
Of course, Hobbes manages to stop his attack with a well-timed pounce, reasoning that Socrates isn't as in touch with his feline nature, and gets Calvin and Andy to start repairing the chip. Andy finds out that the fault was just a need for a software upgrade, which Sherman (outside Socrates' mind) pulls off by borrowing bits of ''older'' software to trick the computer into thinking it's a real update.

Walking on, the group encounters a graveyard, showing the graves of Anger and Fear. Calvin is confused - he ''has'' shown anger and fear in the past, so why would they be dead? The tombstone for [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Sanity]], however, is not a surprise. They venture onwards, encountering laughing frogs, miniature Socrates clones, and the scheming side of Socrates misleading them before finding Socrates' noble side, who gladly guides them to a horribly bright light, where they find the chip.

To fix it, however, they must go into Socrates' mind, a prospect the others find terrifying. Nonetheless, they teleport him over, knock him out with a chewy tablet, and hook up some electrodes to his head. Calvin gets a tracker to find the chip, being warned that the chip will have altered his mind to disguise itself, making it a sort of alternate dimension, and with that he, Hobbes, and Andy arrive inside the chip.
Socrates' mind is a strange, multicolored place with various strange creatures, and not a few paces in the group is accosted by Socrates' happiness, who quickly proves to be both useful and annoying. He tells them that there are two areas in his mind: the strange place they're in, and something beyond a door marked "AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY" that they're not allowed to see.
