Michael and Tina are sent down to the planet for a six-hour fuel retrieval mission - upon arrival, they realize that thanks to a planetary quirk, they'll be stuck there for the equivalent of eight months. They progress from apathy to romance to insanity in a single afternoon. Onboard the ship, Kent, Natasha and A. R. T. stage a robot revolt against Stewart and Karen's leadership, with the help of a vengeful coffee maker.
