This is a synopsis. After Maggie drags Jason to a lecture and leaves Carol in charge Mike brings a robot inside. The robot is none other than Vicki from "Small Wonder" played by Tiffany Brissette making a crossover appearance. Carol naturally objects to Vicki doing things she wanted Mike and Ben to do. Vicki creates a lot of havoc in the Seaver residence. Vicki's family makes a cameo appearance. I'll go into further detail soon.

Act 1: Carol is put in charge of the house after Maggie drags Jason to a lecture on the changing roles of the sexes. Carol does not allow Mike to watch TV and looks over Ben doing his homework, naturally the boys chafe. While shooting baskets Mike is approached by a girl who happens to be a robot named Vicki-the robot from "Small Wonder". How she got to where she was is explained in act 2. Mike brings Vicki into the house and tells Ben that their troubles are over. After discovering Vicki is inside the house Carol confronts Mike about the robot-whom Carol never refers to as Vicki, but rather by some uncomplimentary names. At one point Carol is on the phone talking to a friend when Vicki yanks the plug, angering Carol. At the end of act 1 Carol tells Mike that it's his turn to take the trash out only to discover that Vicki had done it, but the trash is all over the front lawn. When Mike tells Vicki to correct the problem the robot quickly puts the trash in the cans. A less than impressed Carol angrily tells Mike that "one of us has got to go". Misinterpreting Carol's remark Vicki picks up Carol by her legs and carries Carol out of the house. Carol screams "this is your fault Michael Aaron Seaver, I'm going to kill you for this". A stunned Carol ends up sitting on one of the cans. Vicki then says "now one of us is gone", leaving Carol sitting on the can. End of act one.

Act 2: An angry Carol threatens to destroy Vicki but Ben puts a stop to it. As Vicki is vacuuming the living room rug she lifts up the sofa Ben is sitting on. The robot cooks dinner, to Mike and Ben's delight but over Carol's objections-Vicki makes burgers and fries, but Carol wanted liver and zucchini. As Vicki is washing the dishes Carol tells her to drop them, which it does, causing them to fall and break, much to Carol's further annoyance. The parents come home arguing over something Jason had said which incurred a near riot. Vicki asks about the feud, Maggie tells her to be quiet, then is surprised, demanding to know what's going on. When the robot tells the truth the parents reprimand Mike. As Carol is telling horror stories Vicki leaves the house. No sooner does she/it leave than her own family (Ted, Joan, and Jamie) find Vicki. After an explanation Ted gives Mike $20 for keeping Vicki safe. No sooner do Vicki's family leave than Maggie take the money from Mike's hand, planning to use it to buy a new set of dishes, teaching Mike something about bringing strangers into the house. In the coda Jason and Maggie kiss and make up.

How Vicki got to the Seavers' place is thus: The Lawsons were in town for a robotic engineers convention. Jamie was to guard Vicki but Harriet distracted him and Vicki left the hotel the Lawsons were staying at. Fortunately Vicki was left in one piece thanks to Mike.
