Episode 7
Darren inherits from his great-aunt a jar with a human brain, the one from a brilliant doctor who died in 1793. Dr Hunsecker invented the device and had his brain stored in it upon his death. To his girlfriend Emma's dismay, Darren devotes his full attention to the brain jar until he gets Dr Hunsecker revived. Darren is able to get back into Emma's good graces with the help of romantic advice from the ancient scientist. The megalomaniac learns quickly from watching TV, and has Darren sneak him into the telephone company's mainframe. Soon after that, Dr Hunsecker is able to exit the brain jar (using a bifurcated spinal column for legs), and attacks Darren. Emma returns to the flat, it attacked by the mobile brain, but sensibly shoves it into the microwave. In the end, Emma finds that Darren has become much more talented in bed, and has plans to make her queen of the earth.
