Plot

This section is a stub. You can help expand this section by adding some information.

Brett's time in the holo simulator is interrupted by Reagan who says it is for training and "official government sex stuff." Brett tells her he has missed a lot of family dinners due to work. J.R. gives the team the mission of traveling to a town stuck in the 1980s, where they sell dangerous recalled products. The team's job is to dose the town with Nostalgia Max, a memory-altering chemical causing the populous to literally be stuck in the past. Brett convinces the gang to travel without their electronics, an idea Reagan agrees with as technology could blow their cover. While flying over the town, Myc is sucked out of the plane, forcing the team to search the town for him without gadgets. Myc is picked up by a gang of kids, while the rest of the team, at Brett's behest, take up fake identities to blend in. Reagan, who was never exposed to 80s media or products, dismisses Brett's nostalgia. Brett goes off the handle, wanting to stay in the 1980s, and accidentally exposes himself to Nostalgia Max and going crazy with nostalgia. Reagan watches 1980s films at a Blockbuster video store, discovering that the family simulation Brett was using wasn't his family but one from a sitcom, as his own family neglected him. She battles Brett and is able to convince him that he doesn't need a TV family as they are his "business family forever." Brett and Reagan watch the film The Goonies together, then lament how terrible it is afterward.
