Plot
Teevee goes to check up on Compie one morning, quickly realizing she is sick in bed. He sees there is a virus on her screen and decides to try curing her.

Teevee puts a hot water bottle on Compie's head. Unfortunately, some water leaks out onto her keyboard, causing her to short-circuit. As soon as she is put back in bed, Teevee brings over a bowl of chicken soup. But he trips over a rug and the soup scalds Compie. Her virus has only been made worse.

In an attempt to upload anti-virus software onto Compie's system, Teevee gives up because she has become too slow and glitchy. Compie herself is still twitching from her messed-up circuits. Teevee leaves to call for help. As Compie is left alone, the virus takes over her mind.

While talking on the phone, Teevee gets interrupted when the cord is snipped. He sees Compie - or what used to be Compie - with a pair of pliers. Having taken over her body, the virus torments Teevee by smashing his screen, cutting off his antennae, and tearing out his circuits.

Electron arrives outside. A distorted Teevee crawls out the door, trying to warn him about the virus. The posssessed Compie bursts out threatening to electrocute the two. Teevee is forced to hold her down. Electron cuts one of Compie's wires, leading to an explosion which kills Teevee. This gets rid of the virus, but with a price: clearing Compie's data.

Compie awakens in the hospital. Her belly is now patched up and her computer is gone, but she has no memory of her past life due to her data clearing. She takes home a television (all that was left of Teevee). Upon making it home, she turns on her TV. A video recording plays about Teevee telling the viewer who she really is. Compie is left shocked. ''To be continued... ''appears on the TV screen.

Deaths

 * Compie was originally supposed to die.
