As Dave and Lisa debate the future of their relationship in a WNYX studio hundreds of years in the future, their space station's atomic reactor malfunctions. Awakened after more than 80 years in suspended animation, Joe is asked to repair the malfunctioning reactor. But the long sleep has left him without the skills necessary for the job. Meanwhile, as Beth brings Joe up to date on all that he's missed, Matthew struggles with his temperamental robot girlfriend, Irene 4395. When Jimmy asks Dave for some budget cuts, it's decided that their only option is to put either Bill or Catherine into suspended animation in order to avoid a few decades of paying their salary. Although Jimmy agrees to bring them the bad news himself, he then leaves the task up to a holographic image of himself. Meanwhile, when Lisa proposes living together, she and Dave disagree over whose space pod they'll inhabit.
