“The whole place smells like a… new radio.” – Brock Samson
Doc tries to figure out what’s wrong with the space station, mostly by asking Brock if the cargo hold is broken and having the boys report back that the Problem Light is still on. It is still on. Bud tells Anna that he told his mother about her, but he doesn’t want to rush things. She scarcely thinks there’s a rush – after six years together on the station, they haven’t made it past hand-holding. Doc manages to open the cargo hold, which ejects an unprotected Brock and HELPeR into space. Seeing Anna’s concern, Bud becomes immediately jealous of Brock.
