With a nod to the movie 'Fantastic Voyage', Megabyte's henchmen, along with a newcomer - - sexy, female, sprite named 'Mouse' - - are shrunk and accidentally put inside Enzo's brain. Of course, Bob saves the day, but not before we witness the comic and potentially dangerous affects to Enzo due to the villain's thwarted plan.
Although I enjoyed the episode, I had a few "problems" with it:
1) Bob doesn't know that Enzo is heading to the core, because Mouse's stasis field prevented him from hearing her conversation with Megabyte about it. Yet, when she releases him from the stasis field, he is surprised to see her, which proves that he had no idea what was going on while he was in stasis. Furthermore, when Mouse asks Megabyte about the core, Megabyte says, "Who do you believe, Bob or me?", how would Megabyte have known that it was Bob who told her about (again, he couldn't have known!).
2) Why would Enzo's handprint open the door to the core? Shouldn't it be limited to Phong, Dot, and Bob? Why would they allow a child, much less anyone else, access to it?
3) What would putting Enzo into the core have accomplished for Megabyte? Since the radiation levels were reaching dangerous levels, wouldn't it have killed Enzo and the shrunken ship's occupants? Imagine the Star Wars scene when Darth Vader hurls the evil emperor down the Death Star's core (or whatever it was). How would that have destroyed Mainframe, as Phong implied when he said, "Mainframe is doomed"?
Despite the above, the episode was typical 'ReBoot' fun and fantasy! Enjoy!moreless
With the help of Mouse, a hired mercenary, Megabyte intends to send a heavily compressed ship into Bob's head to take control of his brain. However, things don't go exactly as planned...

NOTES (8)
ADD NOTES-
In the kitchen of Al's Wait & Eat there's a box labeled "Implants."
-
In the same scene, there's what looks like a null in an incubation chamber in the corner of the room.
-
In the same scene, the eye chart on the wall consists entirely of yin-yang symbols and dragons.
-
In the scene where Phong is examining Enzo in the Principle Office, the readout panel on the wall is similar to those in the sickbay of the original "Star Trek" series.
-
Character Debut: Mouse.
-
When the viral binomes already tie up Al, he's shaped like a 'One' binome, although we never get to see his face because he's completely covered in rope.
-
Dot obviously has feelings for Bob when she gets jealous seeing Mouse with him coming out of Enzo's body.
-
This marks the first appearance of Mouse on the series.
