Normal Boy/Birth of a Salesman - Recap

Normal Boy
The episode begins with Jimmy, Hugh and Judy having breakfast in the kitchen. Jimmy then uses his newest invention, The juice-bot 3000 (i.e. a device that sucks in oranges from a tree and makes juice with the oranges within seconds.) Jimmy is unable to control the device, and the juice-bot then sucks in everything in Jimmy backyard into his house. Jimmy then switched the button on the Juice-bot to forward. The juice-bot then sucked everything in Jimmy's kitchen to the outside. Some of the material hit an asteroid, redirecting it and setting it on a course for earth Judy is upset about this and tells Jimmy to "March yourself off to school".

At school, the students are presenting their science projects. When Jimmy presented his project everyone got jealous and yelled at Jimmy. That afternoon, Jimmy brought Carl and Sheen into his lab and he used his invention, The Brain Drain 3000 (i.e. A device that is able to control brain waves and make a person either smarter or dumber.) Jimmy uses the device to make himself dumber. The trio then spend the after playing. The next day, Jimmy is asked what is the square root of 121. He answers eleventy-six. And to the class's amazement he was wrong. Jimmy is then told by the mayor of Retroville that an asteroid is going to his earth and asked to stop it. Jimmy however, is still in his dimwitted state and is unable to comprehend the mayor's words. Carl, Sheen and Cindy then take Jimmy back to his lab and reverse the effects of the Brain Drain 3000. Jimmy, who is now a genius, stops the asteroid and saves the day.

Birth of a Salesman
The episode begins with Jimmy showing Cindy, Carl, Sheen and Libby his latest and greatest invention Book Gum (i.e. a piece of gum that when chewed it teaches the chewer the book). Carl, Cindy and Sheen test out the gum and begin quoting the lines from the books that have been reduced to gum form. The next scene contains the kids in their class. Miss Fowl, their teacher, is discussing a candy selling with her class. At first the class aren't to enthusiastic about this but when Miss Fowl announces that the prize is a V.I.P. ticket to Retroland (i.e. a theme park) they all scream. After school, we see Jimmy, Sheen and Carl discussing the contest. Cindy and Libby then meet up with them and say that Cindy is going to win the contest! That night, at dinner Jimmy is seen downloading chocolate and candy by his father, Hugh, and a selling segment between Hugh and Judy is demonstrating how an item can be sold. We then see Cindy inside her room talking to herself into a mirror.

The next day, Jimmy goes house to house to sell candy but is failing at it. Cindy and Libby then come up to him and laugh at his efforts and Cindy shows Jimmy how she sells candy. Jimmy after receiving advice from his robot dog, Goddard, builds a robot called the Willy Loman 3000 (i.e. a robot that was built to sell candy and not take "no" for an answer.) The robot begins selling things normally but he eventually begins selling Jimmy's stuff as a gift with the candy. When the robot runs out of Jimmy's stuff it puts Jimmy up for auction. Jimmy, who is on the verges of being sold for a low value of money, does a brain-blast and gives the robot many pieces of book gum. The robot chews the gum and overloads. At school, the results of the candy selling contest is given out. And it is discovered that Jimmy and Cindy have tied for the lead. Forcing the two of them to go to Retroland together.
