Sypnosis
Robot Jones fears taking a shower in gym class because he thinks he will rust.

Plot
The episode begins with Mom Unit fueling Dad Unit. Mom Unit reminds Robot that he has to study and analyze Physical Education. At the gym, he manages to finish the class easily and efficently, that is, until he realizes he has to take a shower, and that showering contains water. Robot is afraid of taking a shower, since he thinks water can make him rust. Later, Mom Unit reminds Robot to try again tomorrow.

The next day, Mr. Workout tries to get Robot to get a shower, but he gets saved by the bell. Mr. Workout continues to make plans to make Robot take a shower, but fails miserably. He gets so angry that he decides Robot would take a shower at the beginning of gym class. At night, Robot has the infamous nightmare sequence about getting a shower (which he dies from before waking up).

At the beginning of gym class, Robot is surrounded by students, but he escapes. Unfortunately, he fails and has to take a shower. Robot says goodbye, expecting, and accepting, his death. But turns out, the water doesn't have any effect on him. He concludes his Data Log Entry by saying that showering doesn't always make robots rust. Unfortunately, the other students and Mr. Workout get electrocuted by Robot, who also causes a blackout.

General

 * During the week that the episode premiered, a special block called "Robot Week" featured robot-themed episodes of Time Squad and Dexter's Laboratory leading up to the premiere.
 * In Mr. Workout's clipboard, the name M. Iller was shown, a reference to the creator Greg Miller's last name.
 * Timeline:

Inefficiencies

 * It is shown in the end, when Robot Jones takes a shower, that it's nighttime. However, when gym started, it was only 10am. It means that Robot would have to escape for over 7-8 hours. However, when Robot was captured, it's still daytime. It also means that school should have ended. Though this could've been, simply, a mere goof.
 * Escaping from school would have gotten him punished. It's possible that it happened off-screen though.
