Ted’s Lay-Off

United Robotronics cutbacks have the Lawsons scrambling for odd jobs; Jamie and Vicki wash cars at an unscrupulous used car lot.

A so-so episode.  Episode most notable for Vicki's first briefly breaking into a normal human voice and Joan showing her claws at uppity Brandon.  Kept blooper: Reflection of boom mike in Volkswagen's windshield.  Whether a used car salesman or swindler, Danny Wells always makes a crown prince of con.
