Continuing from Cool Bro Bots, the park crew is transported by their saviors, Chance Sureshot, Toothpick Sally and Recap Bot to the Space Tree Station where they meet Colonel Rawls and are informed they're part of program to be trained to travel in space and explore planets for humanity. However, while the crew is excited for it, Benson wants nothing to do with it and seeks to find a way back to Earth.
Tropes:
- All Just a Dream: Or rather a holodeck simulator. Benson thinks he's returned to Earth but wandered into a holodeck by accident where he thinks years have past.
- Beard of Sorrow: Benson gains one due to homelessness while on "Earth".
- Call-Back: The Spark Initiative was first foreshadowed in "Maellard's Package." As figure out by Benson, "Spark" means "Space-Park".
- Can't Get Away with Nuthin': When Benson gets a job, a customer complains about a grilled cheese that he made, to which Benson responds by taking it and slapping the customer across the face with it. Unfortunately, the manager happens to see this from behind Benson, so he is fired on the spot. And once he gets outside, he throws his uniform on the ground, only for a nearby police officer to give him a fine for littering.
- Catch-22 Dilemma: Benson has trouble finding work because he has no address. For him to have an address, he would need to be able to pay rent or own a home, which he would need a job for. Even for the one job he does land at Cheezer's, he doesn't hold it for long due to his anger issues as he is promptly fired for snapping at and assaulting a customer for criticizing his cooking.
- Facepalm: Sally when Chance tries to makes himself look cool by twirling his blaster, only to drop it on the floor.
- Hypocritical Humor: Since Benson is homeless, he can't get a higher paying job when he tries to get hired by other companies (one of which is ironically run by hobos).
- Late to the Tragedy: We find out from Rawls that Chance was supposed to rendezvous with the park dome no sooner than they had reached space. But this took two days to do so, apparently having trouble trying to find them. Rawls comments Chance was lucky they got to them before the Reaperbots had finished their plans.
- Refusal of the Call: Benson initially in contrast to everyone's Jumped at the Call attitude of joining the space program. After going through the holodeck simulator and seeing the VHS of everyone asking that he stay on to be with them, he changes his mind.
- Sequel Hook: During the orientation film, there's a part that bleeped out and labeled as classified. Rawls cuts it there and tells that something for later.
- Teleportation Sickness: Or rather lightspeed sickness. Since it's the park crew's first time experiencing it, they're not prepared for it when Lance transports them to the Space Tree.
- Time-Passes Montage: One occurs of Benson returning to Earth and trying to continue his life.
- Year Inside, Hour Outside: Benson thinks years have gone by while in the holodeck, in truth it was only a few seconds.
