When they awaken, the students dazedly state that they have no complaints and leave. When Coach's football players visit him he asks them to destroy the television, but the Twonky causes them to collapse unconscious. He does, however, agree to replace the set if it is defective. Kerry angrily demands that the appliance store take back the television set, but the owner refuses on the grounds that only Caroline is his client. The Twonky later alters the lecture Kerry writes about individuality so that the next day, Kerry instead lectures about 'Passion Through the Ages,' prompting his students to laugh uproariously until he runs from the room. Coach surmises that the robotic Twonky perceives Kerry as its master, but when he attempts to test the Twonky's protective response by kicking Kerry, the Twonky paralyzes Coach's leg and he is forced to convalesce in Kerry's home.

When Coach attempts to photograph the Twonky in action, however, the photograph develops as a picture of an infant with Coach's head. After Kerry returns home he discovers that the Twonky controls the kind of music to which he may listen and shaves and grooms him as well. As the drunken Coach falls asleep, he mutters that the television is a 'Twonky,' something that cannot be explained. The two men then go to Coach's house to drink, where the Coach attempts to psychoanalyze Kerry, but talks about himself instead. When Kerry's best friend Coach Trout visits, he makes fun of Kerry's assertions about the television until he sees it in action. The set then removes plates from the dishwasher and levitates them into a cupboard. After the serviceman leaves, Kerry attempts to drink some coffee but the television set wobbles into the kitchen and zaps the cup, which disintegrates. Ed intends to take back the set but finds the down payment, all in five dollar bills created by the television set, laid out on the floor. When Ed, the television serviceman, returns for the down payment, Kerry reveals he has only five dollars, and is unaware that he dropped the bill near the television. Kerry becomes nervous when the television repeats its performance. Kerry dislikes television, and is stunned when the unplugged television set emits a beam that lights his cigarette for him.

Philosophy professor Kerry West's wife leaves to visit her sister after purchasing a television set for her husband to keep him company while she is away.
