Plot[]
The episode begins with the kids talking about Roger's party. A kid asks who Robot is inviting. Robot says that he will invite Shannon. Robot comes near Shannon to ask her, but she gets annoyed by him. Later, at Robot's house, Mom Unit tells him to study laws 8 through 12 of the Modern Robot Code of Conduct before eating nourishments. Robot gets uninterested. The next day, Robot asks Mitch on how to achieve intergation with Shannon. Mitch says that he needs the rules on how to get a date. Mr. McMcMc tells Shannon to answer the math problem. Robot tries to offer assistance, but Shannon disagrees. Mr. McMcMc agrees though, and Robot gives Shannon his phone number.
At Shannon's house, her mom tells her to call Robot. Shannon gets a bit annoyed, but after her mom tells her about the Ivy League college, Shannon calls Robot. Shannon doesn't say "hello", and since Robot has to follow the rules, he can't answer the phone. Shannon gets angry, and hang ls up. The next day, Shannon gets angry. Robot says that he has to follow the rules, but Shannon tells him that he needs to stop being a loser. Shannon tells him to arrive at 7pm. Robot sets an alarm, and arrives. Following the rules, Robot speaks loudly to Mrs. Westerburg. She tells him to get a seat. Robot literally gets Mr. Westerburg's seat, causing him to say that he violated the rules. Robot gets into a refueling port, causing Shannon to be annoyed. Shannon gets a phone call from Pam. Mrs. Westerburg tells Shannon to invite Robot too, much to her annoyance. At the party, Robot plays a game, but the girls don't allow him. Robot enters the refueling port, causing Shannon to get angry at him. Shannon says that he malfunctioned, causing Robot to follow rule #12, and self destruct himself, destroying Roger's house. Robot concludes that achieving successful human-robot integration isn't easy. The next day at school, Robot Jones tells Socks what happened last night and makes Socks sorry for Robot. Socks says that he'll return to re-attach Robot's body parts which are in Robot's own locker.

- This is the first (and only) time where only one of the Yogman twins appeared.
- This was Shannon's parents' first appearance.
- When Shannon said "What is your major malfunction?" to Robot, it is a reference to R. Lee Ermey's character from Full Metal Jacket, Gunnery Sergeant Hartman.
- It is unknown how Robot Jones' parts ended up in his locker, but it is likely due to his explosion at Roger's house and Shannon having put them in there the next day.
- This is the next episode of the series.
- However, some more episodes were planned, but unfinished due to the show's untimely cancellation.
