!!The Segments:

[[AC:Prologue]]
* Tom has collected a specimen for his science project: Crowtus Robotus Horribilus, A.K.A Crow trapped in a giant bottle.

[[AC:Segment 1]]
* Crow is mounted to a wall with the rest of Tom’s preserved insects. Dr. Forrester and Frank have turned Deep 13 into a bed and breakfast, “Auntie McFrank’s Tangleberry Inn.” After serving their guests, Ted and Barb, a breakfast of cold lo mein, Mike and the Bots don some costumes in a display of “local color” that gets really creepy really quick.

[[AC:Segment 2]]
* Crow tries to remember the short’s lesson about “gentle pressure”, but forgets it when he startles a blowtorch wielding Tom.

[[AC:Segment 3]]
* Frank calls the guys to let them know that he’s finally been given a day off. He plans to see Film/SquantoAWarriorsTale, having bought an expensive ticket from a scalper. Dr. F rains on his parade when he reveals the film left theaters weeks ago.

[[AC:Segment 4]]
* Mike shows off his new electric organ to Tom and Crow. When they aren’t interested and leave, Mike attempts to play Music/TheSixWivesOfHenryVIII.

[[AC:Segment 5]]
* Inspired by the film, Mike and the Bots choose whether they would rather have an invisible army or blow up a county in Texas, before reading an invisible letter. In Deep 13, Dr. F and “Auntie McFrank” are enjoying teatime, at least until Frank mourns once again for his ruined day off.

* SinisterMinister: The Reverend, despite professing to love and care for all members of his flock, speaks with nothing but the utmost contempt for anyone who was killed horribly in an accident, blaming them for their own deaths. He also gets creepily involved in his congregation's lives while narrating; saying he was "flattered" to be part of someone else's fantasy ''really'' grosses out Mike and the bots. When an ambulance passes by, Mike and the Bots come to the not-unreasonable conclusion that the Reverend just killed someone.
