The Contoller moves in an exo-skeleton powered by the mind. Basil shows Vincent his Mind-Wave Absorbatron that he has connected his servants to tap their mental forces. Basil attaches a disc to the unwilling Vincent's forehead to connect him remotely with the Absorbatron. Tony & Janice drive to the town where Vincent lives to settle the sale.
