When Rudi discovers that Apple is attached to the school vending machine, she moves "her" in as the new nanny, but she quickly becomes jealous and ousts Machine Mommy; all while Dick's love-struck mail-order Humanzee friend wreaks havoc in the house.

Temporarily broke and hounded by Dick and Apple for the newest thing, Rudi resorts to extraordinary measures to earn a buck, while 2Bit meditates naked in her living room searching for inspiration for his next big hit, guided by his new spiritual guru.

Challenged with criticism of her inferior parenting, Rudi starts Apple on performance enhancing drugs that result in the best kid ever, until she goes off the rails.  Dick and his chicken manage to win the school's science prize without any enhancement.
