Small Wonder: S3E7: The Promotion

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today, I covered S3E7: The Promotion, which aired on October 24, 1987. In this episode to win a promotion over Brandon's boss fawning, Ted decides to reveal Vicki's robot secret to his boss at a company picnic unaware that Brandon is out to sabotage Ted's effort. As far as episodes go this one was really lackluster, and Brandon Brindle being there only made it worse. Ted wanting to reveal Vicki's a robot to his boss for a promotion, I don't know just feels wrong some how or not the right time. Turns out (spoiler alert) he doesn't get the promotion, Brandon does, and it's a good thing because apparently the promotion is for a robotics management position in Iceland. Jamie disappears to the kissing booth at the company picnic for most of the episode and shows up towards the end with lipstick prints all over his face. We never see the girl running the kissing booth, but according to Jamie she's a fox. How many times has Harriet explained to Vicki how to throw a tantrum? I've lost count as this point. You would think that Ted would have programmed Vicki with a voice recognition that way she only can be programed or reprogramed to take orders from the Lawsons and not just anyone. Think about that, Ted. I'm most excitedly for next month's episode S3E8: The Lawsonville Horror, which aired on October 31, 1987. In this episode an electrocuted Vicki behaves as though possessed. Have a great week and check out the episode on Youtube. All the episodes of Small Wonder are on it.
