## Synopsis

After the departure of Richie Rich from Harvey Street, the Harvey Girls try to find him with the help of his future self.

## Plot

The episode begins with Future Richie, who comes from the year 2000B triangle squared, who speaks to the Harvey Girls saying he wants to undo the worst disaster of his life: giving up his childhood by retiring from Harvey Street. Where he cites that the appearance of Feelthulu has tormented him for the rest of his life, and he took as a precaution to make an app that allowed him to communicate with the girls, breaking the time-space to convince his present self.
In Austland, the Harvey girls talk to Juanita Tennyson citing that the last thing Future Richie remembers is a cheese exposition in the city after his escape. Juanita recounts that Richie actually visited the place while crying and eating a large quantity of cheese, which is shown scattered throughout the city. Future Richie wants to make up for the incident by telling her things that will be in fashion for years to come, including dog sweaters worn by people.

Lotta after stopping Future Richie from saying more spoilers, asks Juanita where she last saw him. Where she points to the Sky mansion being not far from the girls position. The girls go to the ship where they try to comfort him and Audrey tells him that she envies him because in her mind there are a lot of Audrey's saying to do her favorite things. Dot for her part wants to show him the tablet with his future self, but they only find Irona and Dollar. She tells him that after eating a cheese, he retired and incidentally said that he found Dollar cute and Irona as someone terrifying.

Dollar leaves the scene and the girls ask Future Richie where his present self could go, which he does not remember but says he should still be taking selfies. So the girls suggest going to the favorite places where Richie could be taking a selfie. Irona shows these places on a world map, where they are several points that cover various parts of the globe. The girls ask Irona to take them to those places, not without first consulting Future Richie.

Richie for his part is in a wooded section where he speaks to a blue jay (which he refers to as a sparrow) and has a small outburst of emotions, where he says that the monster makes him feel an amalgamation of emotions at the same time, and decides to speak to him. In Richie's mind, he talks to him and Feelthulu believes he will break up with him, getting bigger. The monster says that Richie has kept him locked up for a long time but now he can express what he feels, getting bigger. By the way his inner self is not very helpful.

Richie wants to go to a place where he doesn't feel emotions and thinks of a place where his robots Dap-O-Tron go on vacation. An approach is made to the "repair and reboot center", which is a place where robots go to escape stressful human emotions. Below are shown that the robots are in a spa, they polish them, and they do aerobics. Richie starts crying when he sees a cloud with a sad face, making a pose, incidentally, saying that he has cried more than 10 times. The robot (Refered in the credits as Calm-Bot) mentions that they only allow robots, but Richie mentions the monster's situation and takes him to a container for virus cleaning, where if he persists with the emotions he will be sent to a confinement center.

The Harvey girls comment that they went everywhere, including San Francisco, but find nothing and Audrey's Richie-like snowman melted. Lotta asks Richie of the future about his future, but he only remembers the move to Mars, the Jetpacks, and what happened to Crush 4 You. To prevent him from saying spoilers, Lotta asks him to stop and Dot with Irona mention that they have no choice but to keep looking at the selfie map. Where Richie, the Calm-Bot asks him to watch a screen saver from a bouncing cube until he feels nothing. This causes the monster in Richie's mind to become small and asks him to search for more sources of emotions. The monster grows as small as Richie's palm and plans to put it in a remote place represented as a cloud made door.

Richie thinks he's gotten through it all until he sees things that remind him of the Harvey girls, where he gets excited and misses them about it. This causes the monster to grow back and the inner Richie to side with the monster, not without Richie trying to block the door. Richie is sent to the feelings room by Calm-Bot waiting for his batteries to reset, and she expects that it will take at least three weeks, unaware that Richie is human. In the room, Ricky meets a small humanoid robot that plays a song from Crush 4 You while dancing. Richie proceeds to put his inner self as a decoy to the monster and incidentally turns off the robot who was playing music. Lotta tells the group to search the virtual world, where Dot has the idea to search on social media, as it is one of Richie's compulsions.

At the robot spa, Richie receives the video of Audrey playing the harmonica where the girls tell him that it is normal how he feels to be with her friends, celebrating birthdays and dealing with financial matters, since he can count on her best friends.

Richie decides to go back to where he dances with the little robot, but not before solving an issue in his brain. Inside, Richie tells the monster that he was scared of childhood but managed to solve it, with his friends, which can apply the same to him, where they make peace with a hug. Ricky pretends to cry where he tricks Calm-Bot into locking her up with the dancing robot and meets the Harvey Girls, where Dot explains that Richie's likes were geo-tagged. Calm-Bot says that she is happy that he has solved her problems and asks him to leave, where the whole group is expelled by a guard robot.

In the sky mansion, Richie wants to release those emotions, but wants to go step by step, for example drinking his first hot cocoa. The girls think they saved Future Richie, but all this time it was Dollar, who was using an app that transformed his face like Richie's. Dollar says he used this trick because the girls didn't take seriously his warning the last time. The episode ends with everyone tickling Dollar, where it is finally seen in Richie's mind that he, his inner self and the monster made amends, showing hugging themselves while looking at the sky.
