The adult watch the Iron Nanny dance like a ballerina. Dokko compliments Pin's inventions for their resourcefulness, but asks if they have ever considered the fact that one day, the machines might consider living beings inferior to them and replace them. Carlin considers his idea paranoid, and Dokko eventually brushes it off.

However, the next day, all of his technology suddenly decide to malfunction: his computer stops working (and eventually explodes after Dokko spills tea on it), his toaster burns his toast, etc. Dokko runs to Pin for help, but finds the Iron Nanny throwing the others off the hangar (as it turns out, on top of the trampoline), and concludes the mechanical invasion has begun and he's the only one left to fight for freedom. He escapes and begins to live in the forest, so Pin decides to make a search team consisting of his inventions to look for Dokko. The robots eventually find him and bring him home, with Dokko finally leaving all his crazy thoughts behind and accepting the technology isn't as bad after all.

Tropes:

  • Bait-and-Switch: Dokko sees his friends' shadows as they're being thrown off the top of the hangar by the Iron Nanny, but it turns out they are being thrown on the trampoline.
  • Call-Back: Pin finds Dokko using the jumping robot from the episode "In Pursuit of Happiness".
  • Turned Against Their Masters: Dokko thought the robots' war against humanity has begun and decides to fight against the technology, though he was proven wrong afterwards.
