Synopsis[]
When the Greens visit BigTech, Tilly jumps at the chance to test Gwendolyn Zapp's new technology, which promises to make them the "perfect family."
Plot[]
The Green family is on their way to deliver produce to Gwendolyn Zapp at BigTech. The rest of the family is confused by this because of what Gwendolyn did in the past with her almost taking their Kludge into space, but Bill tells them to forget about it because they need the business. As they arrive, Bill tells the family to stay in the truck due to the fact they are always causing trouble wherever they go. Tilly is perturbed by this and her fears are confirmed when the family run amok throughout Big Tech. Tilly stumbles upon a seminar being given by Gwendolyn who reveals her plan to jumpstart a new program that could create the perfect family. Tilly is intrigued by this and Gwendolyn believes the Greens are perfect test subjects for the prefect family program.
Gwendolyn has the Greens put on headgear that sends their minds into a computer with her joining them. She reveals their personalities will be presented in code and she will use a giant laser gun to remove their flaws. She first creates duplicate backups before getting to work on the Greens. Gwendolyn removes Bill's anxiety, Gramma Alice's anger, and Cricket's mischievousness before removing many other flaws. Eventually the three are whittled down to bland shells of their former selves. Tilly tests them out, but is bothered by how inherently creepy they are. Realizing their flaws is what made them special she asks they return to normal.
Gwendolyn realizes Tilly's flaw is accepting flaws in others and threatens to alter her coding as well. Tilly releases the backup data of her family and they proceed to fight their non-flawed selves. Gwendolyn finally zaps Tilly's "flaw" but the computer finds a contradiction in this and attempts to reboot itself. Gwendolyn and the non-flawed Green family are erased with the coding as Tilly and her family escape the computer. In the real world, Tilly is happy to see her family back to their flawed selves, though Bill thinks they can work to improve. They discover Gwendolyn is still alive, having made a backup of her mind, and laughs maniacally as the Greens quietly leave.
