-Janeera, they're stripping the quarries.

[grunts] What?!

Lisa and I are with a small squad.

We'll head there
and try to slow them down.

Okay. I'll meet you guys there.

Be careful, Lisa.

-[grunts] I know, Mom. Gotta go.

Now, this is what I call a battle.

[thrilling rock music playing]

-This is for locking us up, ya bots!
-[laughs]

[Bogdog laughing]

[howls, barks]

-Try and rehabilitate Bogdog, will ya?
-[Torga] Ha-ha!

Gotta say, I do prefer the outlaw life.

-[laughs]
-Hey, let's get 'em before they deploy.

[whooshes]

Ha-ha. Light 'em up!

Hoorah!

Got 'em!

Oh, yeah! And that is for ruining Bucky's!

[laughs]

Eh, trust me. They k*lled the whole vibe.

-[dramatic music plays]
-[jets whooshing]

[rapid firing]

I can't believe we took that thing down.
Wait till I tell the guys on the forum.

-[jet screeches]
-Whoa.

She was going to turn.
I could see it on her face.

But then, something else took over.

Kid, I told you.

Nobody ever builds AI
without manual override.

Someone's clearly puppeting them remotely.
That's like Neural Network 101.

Pam.

-[Sean] Mom, come in!
-Sean, are you okay?

-[expl*si*n over comm]
-What is that sound?

[Sean] Um...

[KRS] How do you like the taste
of them hot lasers? Ha-ha-ha!

-[Sean clears throat]
-[KRS] Ooh. My bad.

Sean Everett Hendrix,
are you fighting right now?!

I'm sorry, Mom.

But on the bright side,
me and Blobby took down the warp gate.

That makes it kind of better, right?

Ugh...

I'm living my nightmare.

Mom, listen though. This is important.

I think Pam's controlling the Betas
manually.

-[Tess] Okay.
-You're thinking if you find her...

And we take her out,
we might be able to take out her army.

-[Tess] Really?
-[Blobby] He's right.

If she has override access, it's possible.

Well, how am I gonna find her?
She could be in any one of these ships.

[Sean] I don't know, but we gotta try.

-[comm trills]
-Adja, head to the quarry.

-I'm gonna see if I can find Pam.
-Are you sure?

[Tess] No, but it might make a difference.

Oh. That's cute.

[bots screech]

Sean, I can't find her.

I'm not seeing her
in any of these cruisers.

She's gotta be in one of 'em.
She's directing them from somewhere.

[Tess sighs] I know, honey,
but I just don't see her.

-[comm trills]
-[B'Caala, sultrily] Hello. It's me.

[Tess] Who?

Your former betrothed, B'Caala.

Ugh! What do you want?

Go to these coordinates.
This is where you'll find her.

[cloaking field thrums]

Her ship's cloaked, but it's there.

Who? Pam? Wait, you have her location?

Wait. Why are you helping us?

Call it atonement for my insurrection.

[Tess] Hmm. How do I know
that this isn't a trap?

As much as my fur bristles
at Doloraami rule,

this isn't what I wanted.

I wanted to rule this planet,
not see it destroyed.

And, at least, we have history.

[clicks tongue, scoffs]

Thanks. Uh. [sighs]

And by the way, I...

I hope you understand,

it just never would have worked out
between us.

Oh, trust me, I know.

-[comm beeps]
-[gasps] You rude.

Uh, that was weird.

Yeah. Yeah, it was.

[bird twittering]

[Tess] Huh.

-[crackling thrum]

[Tess] Got you.

[EHC guard] Come on, kitty.
Don't you wanna chase it?

They love this stuff. Watch.

-[meows]
-[guard] Come on, buddy.

[energy thrums and crackles]

Hey. Someone's up there.

[gasps softly]

Ugh. Displacer skins?

Ugh. Great.

[Pam, deeper voice]
You and your backwater planet

could have had a seat at the table,

and you squandered it.

Yeah, you know,
I'm real torn up about that.

[Pam] You think anyone else would have
given you an offer like that?

Used to be, we wouldn't have even asked.
We would've just taken it.

-[water splashes]
-[Tess chuckles] You know what's funny?

That's the first honest thing
you've said, Pam.

-[Lisa over comm] Dad, are you there?
-Lisa? You guys okay?

[Lisa] We're fine here,
but Mom's not picking up.

[Terry gasps]

Why are you even doing all of this?
Doesn't the Conglomerate have enough?

[Pam chuckling deviously]

While researching your planet,
I read some of your folktales,

and one in particular, I very much liked.

A Doloraami girl falls into a river,

landing in the mouth of a great rii'bau.

[sniffs] Crocodile.

[Pam] That's right.

And as the girl sits in its jaws,
she asks the rii'bau,

"Why must you eat me?"

"I see plenty of ringfish,
birds, even sea-boars."

"Surely you will not starve.
Why not let one Doloraami go?"

The rii'bau thought about this.

"Because it is the way of the world,"
said the rii'bau.

"And the world does not bend
for careless girls, nor great rii'baus."

[growls] And he eats her.

-[scuttling]
-[water splashes, gurgles]

Never heard that one. Cute story though.

All we learned about crocs
was how to cook 'em.

[grunts]

Ugh.

Wah! Ahh! Whoa!

[Pam growls]

-[roars]
-Get off of... Ahh!

Get off of me!

[straining]

Hi, Mom.

-[Terry] Tess! You okay down there?
-[beeping over loudspeaker]

-[Lisa] Sean! Stop leaning on the buttons.
-[Sean] You're touching buttons.

[Terry] Both of you,
stop touching the buttons!

-You see what I've been dealing with here?
-[laughs]

[funky upbeat music playing]

-[water bubbling]
-[sighs]

-[Terry] Tess.
-[Tess gasps]

-What?
-Y-You're supposed to relax.

Let us handle everything.

I know, but I wanted to make sure
that everything's thawed.

I don't know if we took the meat
out of the freezer soon enough.

-Tess.
-[scoffs] Wait, wait, wait!

Wait! Can I... Let me just check!

-Wait. Just-just real quick, baby.
-Terry?

What's she doing in here cooking?

Oh, well, I mean, I just was, um... Ahem.

Mom, out!

All right, all right!

Oh, music! I should put some music on.

-KRS!
-[KRS] What d'you need, baby?

Can you play background music
for the party?

[KRS] Oh, I got you.

-Beta!
-[wheels whizzing]

[Beta] Yes, Miss KRS?

Hold up. Is that Pam's...

Pretty cool, huh? She's fully autonomous.
And she can do wheelies.

Beta, would you be a doll
and put on some old-school jams?

-[chimes]
-[Beta] Jams.

I believe there are jams in the pantry.

[garbled] Order being processed.

[clatters]

[KRS] I'm mentoring her.

-[mellow music plays]
-Hey, Adj. Sure you don't need anything?

Honey, I'm good. Come sit with me.

Janeera, ooh, I love those boots.

Oh, you mean these?

Oh, I had them made custom,
if you can believe it.

Also, why haven't you introduced me
to your friend over there?

-[whirring]
-Stupid holo-watch. Swear to Lox.

Who? Glorlox?

Uh, I mean, if that's what you into, I...

Hey, you've been gone.
You don't know what I've been into.

[snickers, laughs]

Oh my God.

Wow. Uh, okay.
I don't wanna know. [chuckling]

[sighs]

Oh my God. I can't believe
that they are coming to thishouse.

I don't know how this is gonna go.
Think it's gonna be chaos?

Oh, absolutely. But all you gotta do
is sit back and watch the show.

Huh.

[man] Ahem!

Presenting Emperor Odoman
and Empress Gurira of Doloraam!

[drums beating]

[dulcet percussive music plays]

Terry, your guests are here.

So good to meet y'all.

It is a pleasure to meet you as well,
Lady Hendrix.

"Lady Hendrix"? I like that.
Now, I hope y'all came ready to eat.

We certainly are.

We bring our finest Doloraami dishes,
in show of thanks to House Hendrix.

Oh my! Okay! "House Hendrix" sees you.

Hey!

[Odoman laughs]

Son-in-law. [chuckles]

Oh, wow, Mom,
you didn't have to do that. [chuckles]

Well, you mentioned
you were trying to add more plants.

Yeah, w-well, I mean,
we still haven't repainted inside,

so just, you know, avert your eyes.

I like it. It's very, hmm... Earthy.

[sighs] Thanks, Mom.

Auntie Adja, check out this...

-Wuh-uh!
-[Bogdog shrieks]

-Oops.
-[Bogdog groans]

Hmm. Good one. Very deadly.

-Lisa...
-What? I'm not practicing in the house.

Lisa, are you gonna
show your Auntie Adja around Earth?

Wait, you actually want
to see stuff around here?

Uh, yeah!
I've been wanting to see Earth forever.

It's, like, the hardest planet
to book flights to.

Well, I guess there are a few cool spots.

[chuckles]

[Odoman and Glorlox chuckling]

-[dog barks]
-[Bogdog pants]

Mwah.

"And as they looked out over their family
from all over the universe,

the boy remembered an ancient quote
he'd learned at school,

by the writer Terence."

"'Nothing human is alien to me.'"

"The end."

Well, what do you think?

Was it too boring?
It was boring, wasn't it?

-[fanfare plays]
-Not bad, kid. Not bad.

-Really?
-[Blobby] You got chops.

The ending. The Flobby storyline.
It's all there.

Yes!

Now, the real work begins.

-What?
-The screenplay for the movie version.

-Movie version?
-Yeah.

All good books get turned into movies.
That's how you know if it's good or not.

Oh!

Okay.

Now, with movies,
you gotta spell everything out,

for the dum-dums.

Also, the Mom character
needs to be 10% sassier

and a spy who plays by her own rules.

-Guh! What the...
-Oh, so sorry. I thought it was a beanbag.

"It" was a beanbag? [scoffs] Unbelievable.

-And now, let the real tribulations begin.
-[tense music playing]

Hike!

-[Glorlox] Sabo, I'm wide open! Throw it!
-[Sean] What are you doing?

I know you saw me. You saw me!

-[cheering]
-[Terry] You got it!

[laughing]

[Tess] No. You can't stop me. Ah-ah.

-Come on. Walk it off, Bogdog.
-Huh?

-[grandma] Somebody tackle!
-[Adja] Glorlox!

-[Terry] Yeah!
-[Sean] Go!

-[Terry] Touchdown!
-Touchdown!

[all cheer]

-Everybody, together! Come on!
