* Mike receives a HELPING CHILDREN THROUGH RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT shirt from Servo to spread awareness about his charity, just as the SOL detects a spacecraft launching from the Camping Planet. It turns out to be Pearl, who's loaded Buddy, Darlene, and Scooter (the omnipotent Space Children from the previous episode) into the Widowmaker, keeping them placated with bar snacks and drink mixes as she tries to return them to their parents. On the Camping Planet itself, Brain Guy and Bobo are left to communicate to the SOL via a voice-only link after Pearl goes out of range. They butt heads trying to determine who's sending the experiment today, during which Bobo flings something unmentionable at Brain Guy.

* Inspired by the tall pompadour the foreign guy in the film has, Crow and Servo have gotten similar hairdos from Shelli the Nanite, and they convince Mike to get one too. Shelli ends up giving him a hairstyle that extends 70 miles outside the Satellite, with Rocket Number 9 revealing that a communication satellite got tangled in it. After having it drastically shortened, Mike keeps his new hairstyle in the theater for a short while, before realizing that it's merely taped onto his head.

* Servo and Crow show off their new rollercoaster, "The Screaming Lemur," to Mike. The ride itself consists of a decorated box on the desk with a safety bar made of duct tape, and it comes with a complimentary cup of joe. It's only ''after'' Mike takes his first (and last) ride that the 'Bots decide to actually add a track. Back in the Widowmaker, Pearl finally reaches the Space Childrens' homeworld, where she meets their huge and [[StarfishAliens utterly]] [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm omnipotent]] parents, who are thankful to her for returning their tykes and offer to let her come inside for coffee and carrot cake. She politely refuses, but is briefly moved as the kids say goodbye and tell her how much they love her. Once they actually disappear, however, she expresses sheer glee at her freedom and leaves to go gamble.

* Crow and Servo respectively pretend to be a fraudulent fortuneteller and his crystal ball like in the one in the movie, trying to read Mike's aura as to swindle him out of 50 cents.
