Khepra, head of the P.Y.R.A.M.I.D. council takes Callie, Akila, and Cleo out on a "girls night" to the arcade. Cleo dislikes it until Khepra starts quarreling with a few of the guests.

Space pirates are proving to be more and more important. On one mission, Akila, Brian, and Cleo are captured by them, but the coolness of the pirates makes it hard to dislike them.

Brian and Akila fall into a trap, with Brian reprogamming a broken Xerx who becomes their baby. In order to save themselves, they need to educate this Xerxs robot quickly.
