When Roy's latest girlfriend explains her sad family history, Roy learns that her parents died in a fire at a "Sea Parks" stadium during a sea lion show. He is confused by this story, and when he looks for more information on the Internet, he discovers that the stadium is full of water and has 12 exits. Moss realises how much quicker he could answer his phone if he kept it in his shirt pocket, but when he bends over to flush a toilet, his phone drops in. When co-worker Linda is labelled Best Woman, Jen becomes jealous and tells a lie that she can speak Italian, which causes calamity when she is nominated to act as translator for a top Italian businessman, Bernatelli. Moss helps her by installing a voice-activated translator on her computer. After Moss sees an iPhone in a toy crane machine, Moss desperately attempts to retrieve it, but he ends up trapped inside. Moss enlists Jen's help to get the iPhone out of the machine, and then he delightfully obtains it "without paying Apple any money". When Jen arrives at the live meeting with Bernatelli, she is terrified at the fact that she isn't allowed to use her computer, and without her computer, she cannot use the translator. Eventually, after Jen tries to communicate but poorly translates the meeting into gibberish, Bernatelli storms out in disgust. Meanwhile, Roy becomes obsessed and frantically seeks an explanation for how his girlfriend's parents died in the fire. Roy makes many models of "Sea Parks", and for his last model, he sets it on fire and finally sees how someone could die in a fire at the stadium. However, when the fire grows too large, Roy burns his hands during the process. At midnight, Jen wakes up in her sleep, suddenly realising that Moss is still trapped in the toy crane machine.
