* Mike recognizes Smolkin, the singing gravedigger from the film, from an cover album he bought, putting it on for the 'Bots to hear. They learn that Smolkin can sing in a wide range of genres, but he peppers his verses with random shouts of "filth", "rat", and "corpse", even his "straight" cover of "Greensleeves".

* Mike tries to bring the audience back up to speed regarding his and the others' current situation. At the 'Bots' insistence, he keeps going back further and further, explaining everything that's happened to him in vivid detail. detail. Mike then gets locked in a memory of one of his old temp jobs, and his growing bitterness gets the 'Bots get nervous.

* The Observers give both the SOL crew and the Mads intelligence tests to determine whether they're dissected and mounted, or merely sliced up, as well as so they can see exactly how inferior they are compared to themselves. A frustated Pearl claims the test is biased and refuses to answer any questions, while Bobo, being less intelligent than a mollusk, proves his intellect by stacking boxes. Gypsy does moderately well, Crow sleeps through his test, and Mike is too busy reminiscing to finish. Servo, on the other hand, not only aces the test (missing only one question by a misplaced decimal point), but he manages to outscore one of the Observers, whose brain is sent to the Enrichment Chamber.

* While Crow pretends to be an imp, Servo learns that Creator/LeonardMaltin gave ''The Undead'' three stars in his Video Guide, so he has Mike dress like Maltin and read a highly unflattering script while Servo yells at him. On the Observers' planet, Bobo sneaks out of bed to make a midnight snack. He mistakes the Enrichment Chamber for a refrigerator and uses the earlier Observer's brain as the meat in his sandwich. After realizing that every slice and bite into the brain has resulted in a scream, Bobo rushes back to bed... but not before taking the mayonnaise jar with him.

* Livia the witch appears on the SOL to steal the crew's souls, but her shapeshifting magic is a little out-of-whack.

* Mike recognizes Digger Smolkin from an old record he had bought and puts it on for the 'Bots to hear. They find that Smolkin can sing a wide range of genres, even if he does pepper his verses with random shouts of "filth", "rat" and "corpse".
