[edit] Synopsis
[edit] Cold Open
Dr. Weird wants Steve to chop off his head with so much force that the blood rush will rocket his body all the way to Phoenix...apparently to see Steve's mama.
[edit] Plot
The Plutonians, Oglethorpe and Emory, are orbiting the Earth in their spaceship. Oglethorpe reveals his plan to rule the Earth with an army of replicants. Currently, they have only one, and he is still cooling in the oven. Emory warns him that the replicant is not yet ready, but on Oglethorpe's insistence Emory releases him.
On Earth, Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad are singing hymns together, because Frylock wants to join a nearby church. Oglethorpe calls Shake, telling him he wants to speak to him about starring in a movie. After some negotiation, Shake accepts. When Oglethorpe tells him to come outside to run through the script, Shake sees that the Plutonians have landed their ship in front of the Aqua Teens' house, and he gladly boards.
Onboard, Shake meets the only partially formed clone of himself. The bad replicant is shorter than Shake (though the Plutonians do give him high heeled shoes), one of his hands is attached to the end of his straw, the other protrudes from his bottom, and he has half a jambox sticking out of the side of his shake. Oglethorpe doesn't seem to notice the mediocre quality of the replicant and quickly forces him outside.
Back in the Aqua Teens' house, the would-be Shake replica greets Frylock and Meatwad and tries to pass himself off as Major Shake and/or Mister Shake, but they immediately see he is a fraud. In the Plutonians' ship, back in outer space, the Plutonians stall the real Master Shake to keep him from leaving.
On Earth, the replicant derides the Plutonians for being morons, then fires up his jambox, inspiring Meatwad to dance to the beat. On their ship, the Plutonians can't believe the replicant hasn't yet 'deterraformed' the planet, then imprison Shake within 'deadly laser rings', which are actually harmless disco lights. The replicant calls the Plutonians and tries to explain that he has not fooled Meatwad and Frylock, then refuses to implement any of the Plutonians' nonsensical plans. After hanging up, the replicant asks Frylock for a pipe, then breaks into Carl's car and drives away.
Later, Frylock and Meatwad lounge in Carl's pool, where Carl reveals that the car has been crashed into a bridge and that the driver has fled. On their ship, the Plutonians attempt to consult a disco ball ('Orbnauticus') for insight into what to do next. Orbnauticus says nothing, as is his wisdom. The Plutonians, not paying attention to what's happening, crash their ship into the street directly in front of the Aqua Teens' house, then run away.
