Dexter is in Mom and Dad's room waking up Mom to let her know she's late for breakfast. Mom falls back asleep and Dee Dee tells her little brother that Mom is sick. Dexter starts worrying while Dee Dee drags him out of the room. Downstairs, Dee Dee orders Dexter to clean while she cooks. As Dexter dusts the furniture, a cloud of dust flies inside his mouth, causing him to choke. He kicks the duster away and goes to the kitchen to find Dee Dee making a pie.

Later, Dee Dee serves Dexter the pie, only for Dee Dee to tell him that she added mud to her recipe. Dexter spits the pie out and heads to his laboratory to build a robotic mother. Later, Dexter heads to the kitchen with Mom-Droid behind him. There, he tests her functions out and then tells her to make him a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Mom-Droid refuses, and Dexter fixes her up.

Dexter is in the armchair enjoying his sandwich while Mom-Droid races around the house getting it cleaned up. Dee Dee slips her arm over Dexter's head and grabs Mom-Droid's controller. Mom-Droid then dumps the laundry on Dexter's head and dresses him up. The siblings then fight over the controller, causing Mom-Droid to act erratically. The house is nearly destroyed while Dexter and Dee Dee continue to fight over the controller.

Dexter heads to his lab to build Mom-Droid 1000, who introduces herself by firing a laser at the original Mom-Droid. Dexter and Dee Dee use their controllers to make the Mom-Droids fight. The fight ends up getting worse, leaving a lot of destruction around the place. Mom-Droid 1000 throws the family couch out the window, and Dexter and Dee Dee see Dad driving up to the house. They both head back inside the house and clean it up as quick as they can, but it's too late.
