The Automated Planet (as the Robot refers to it), which the Robinsons left in the previous episode, has launched a hyper-atomic missile at the Jupiter 2. It is a homing missile and seemingly cannot be avoided, but John comes up with a plan to evade the missile and it crash into a nearby planet instead. John is furious and forces Smith out to find the Robot. Smith wanders around outside for a short while before he sees a giant bird and faints. John and Don look around themselves but cannot find either Smith or the Robot. John sends everyone to bed, but Will stays up in case Smith comes back.
