A man named Kit, a service bot, is challenged by his owner who orders him to strip and shower, but Kit resists, revealing his inability to perform basic tasks on his own. Labeled 'Scrap' for defying commands, Kit experiences a severe physical response—his core temperature spikes, circuits overload, and he fears he might be dying. Despite his owner's reluctance, they intervene to save him, recognizing the crisis is a standard bionic reaction rather than a malfunction. The episode ends with Kit pleading for help as his systems near failure, leaving his survival uncertain.
