Anne has recreated Nikola Tesla's plasma ball for her summer school project. Before they can get Anne's plasma ball up and running, the power goes out in the junkyard. Anne decides to try alternative types of energy (sun, wind and people power) to generate electricity for her Plasma Ball. Meanwhile, thanks to Shania's fixation on a popular singer, Hand develops an interest in the electric company truck that comes to fix the power lines... can androids feel love too?

When Hand acts out of control, Anne, Nick and Shania wonder if it's possible she's throwing temper tantrums or if she's been infected by a computer virus. As they try to figure it out, Hand acts increasingly dangerous and Anne's Dad tells them to shut Hand down. Finally, the kids discover Hand wasn't out of control but was being manipulated by Shania's family's new remote control toy! Now the only question is, how can they get Hand back to normal?
