Summary Edit
One evening, Tommy and Chuckie are watching a horror movie when Stu decides to turn it off and send them both to bed. Tommy thinks his dad's a robot and drags a reluctant Chuckie along to see whether or not it's true. After being stopped a twice, they investigate once and for all only to be scared by his sleepwalking.
RecapEdit
Tommy and Chuckie are watching a sci-fi horror movie about a child discovering that his father, who he thought was a normal adult, was actually a robot. Stu, Tommy's father, decides to turn the television off and send the children to bed as the movie is "too scary" for them. After being placed in their cribs, Tommy and Chuckie wonder if their parents are grown-ups or really robots in disguise. Chuckie hopes that it was true.
In search of finding this out, they slowly creep into Stu and Didi's room while they are asleep and see if Stu a robot by twisting his "bolts" with a toy wrench. After screaming in pain and waking up, Stu locks the babies' crib up tight so they will not escape, but they end up getting out. This time, after Tommy gets Chuckie to come out of his crib again, Stu begins sleepwalking into the kitchen.
The babies follow him and after Stu cracks eggs on the floor as part of his famous "Stu Pickles Omelette", he hears them and chases them around in the manner of robot walking as he thinks they are Drew. Stu collapses on a chair. Didi wakes Stu up and the babies get back into their cribs before the parents come in.
Stu tells Didi that he dreamt Tommy and Chuckie trying to open his chest as if he was a robot after walking into Tommy's room. Didi tells him that Tommy would never do that. Tommy giggles. The adults walk out of the room. Chuckie tells Tommy that his father could be a robot.
