Dorothy finally finds a friend in Baby Doll, until playtime goes awry. Cliff discovers that Niles plans to give him human-like upgrades. Vic devises a plan to win Roni back. After Rita has a lousy audition, Larry brings her along to meet his family and learns more about the life he left behind.


Tropes for this episode include:

  • Calling the Old Man Out: Paul calls out Larry for all the years that he was away, saying how his disappearance sent Cheryl and Gary down a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories that destroyed their lives.
  • Cute, but Cacophonic: Baby Doll is sweet and means well, but she's also exhausting, as Dorothy soon learns.
  • Beware the Cute Ones: Both Dorothy and Baby Doll end up being far more dangeous than they look, as Baby Doll tries to kill Dorothy in a childish telekinetic rage, which causes Dorothy to sic the Candlemaker on the Underground, resulting in the deaths of Baby Doll and Flaming Katy.
  • Fingore: Robotman's attempt to stop a pair of carjackers alone ends with him accidentally severing a finger from one of them, which he then decides to keep so it can be used for Niles' plan to enable him to experience the sense of touch once more.
  • Killed Off for Real: Dorothy and Baby Doll's fight results in the deaths of Manny, Baby Doll, and Flaming Katy.
  • Stock Scream: The Wilhelm Scream is used during Cliff's Imagine Spot of him and Vic starring in a 1970s cop show pastiche called Steele and Stone.
