"Hey, honey." Tyler says when Donna comes running down the stairs. Ignoring her husband, Donna runs over the couch and into the kitchen.

"Oh, okay, so we have kids living in the basement, and we walk on the furniture- got it." Tyler says his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"The alarm in the lab went off Edie's been disabled, and the kids are gone." Donna frantically tries to reactivate the smart home system.

Edie appears on the screen. "Those animals yanked my wires! And one of 'em manhandled my motherboard!"

"Where are the kids?!" Donna demanded, brimming with frustration.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Were you talking to me, or the husband you replaced me with?! You know, I might like a new pair of shoes, too!"

"EDIE!" Donna shouts.

"Fine! They went to school with…..Leah." Edie sneers.

"No. No, no, no, no, no, no. They can't go to school- not with their glitches!" Donna starts pacing the room.

"What… glitches?" Tyler asks sounding worried.

"Because they're human, their emotions can trigger their bionics-if one of 'em gets a little nervous or upset or even a little bit too happy…" she pauses a bit. "They could take out everything from here to Tijuana."

"What?! You did not mention this on your profile." Tyler shouts.

"Come on!" Donna motions towards the door and they both run.
