Synopsis
In the X Minus One episode titled How-To, we meet Gordon Knight, an ordinary man who decides to purchase a do-it-yourself cocker spaniel kit, believing it will be a fun project. However, when the package arrives, it turns out to be a robot instead of a dog. The shipping label confirms that it is indeed a spaniel model, but the weight and size suggest otherwise. Gordon's wife, Grace, is skeptical about the purchase, and their conversation reveals the tension between their differing views on technology and household responsibilities.
