Scene 1: Autonomy Fifi and Josie inhabit separate spheres of the lesbiot Universe. Despite being steeped in lesbiot culture, they each live their lives unaware of the possibilities that love might offer. In other words, they perform autonomous robotic actions.

Scene 2: Love Fifi and Josie begin to notice the attraction they feel for each other. They fall in love, slowly. Fifi and Josie approach each other - yet at first, they turn away shyly. When Fifi and Josie do finally make contact, they engage in cooperative actions, slowly negotiating their relationship as all young lovers must. The new emotions fill their hearts and threaten to overpower them.

Scene 3: Paranoia Fifi begins to act possessively of Josie. Fifi explores the pleasures of Jealousy and Possessiveness, and reaches deep into the unkind part of her nature. Josie defends herself from such ugliness as best she can.

Scene 4: Agency Josie enlists some aid in order to remind Fifi that all robots have feelings. Fifi learns her lesson, whether she wants to or not, and she and Josie reach a new and deeper understanding.

A Capable Understudy During the fourteenth and final performance of the Glasgow run, Dani finally got his chance to fulfil his dream as understudy... to take to the stage!
