The kids find that their rover pal Beep doesn't feel like playing.

This scene adds depth to the show because it demonstrates that robots have feelings too; it makes you feel sorry for a pair of rovers.

and Opportunity. - Title Drop: Jet says the episode's titles when he figures out that Beep has, well, the blues.
