Dogbert and Ratbert try to decide where they are going to celebrate the new millennium. Dilbert is put in charge of the company's Y2K problem. Wally plans to scam the banks, trusting that their computer records will fail them. Wally may be the key to "Black Betty," the old mainframe that still runs the whole company. The Evil HR director, Catbert, begrudgingly offers the team assistance in the help of some hypnosis books to recover Wally's memories of when he helped install the mainframe. He also offers additional support in the form "Misfits and Losers" such as: The Useless Guy, Ted the Generic Guy and Zimbu the Monkey.

Pointy-Haired Boss: That's what they said about daylight saving time.
Dilbert: No, they didn't.

(edit) Alice: (talking about Wally) Wow, from great engineer to doorstop in just a few short years. (edit) Asok: So our futures depend on Wally?
Loud Howard: That's it, we're all farmers. (edit) Loud Howard: Let's give up now and form an agarian society. (edit)

Pointy Haired Boss: Are you telling me that Han Solo's ship is HERE?
The Pointy Haired Boss confuses the Millenium Bug with the Millenium Falcon from "Star Wars." (edit) Y2K / The Millenium Bug: The crisis as the year 1999 closed that caused hoarding because it was thought that all computers would cease to work because of a flaw with the year. Instead of programming the date as 4 numerals it was programmed as 2 meaning that the year 2000 would become year 00. (edit) This episode takes a great deal from the Wizard of Oz. Below is a chart of the characters and what they are asking for.
Alice (Dorothy)--time management (go home)
Asok (Scarecrow)--experience (brain)
Wally (Tin Man)--memory (heart)
Dilbert (Lion)--a team (courage)
Dogbert (Toto)--nothing because he's perfect.
The Director of Human Resources (The Wizard of Oz) (edit)
