Summary
The biggest mistake he ever made was picking up that phone.
Yearning to reconnect with Tenna after years of isolation, Spamton pays his former partner a visit. But when things don’t go as planned, Spamton resorts to desperate measures in order to get Tenna to recognize him.
The biggest mistake he ever made was letting Spamton walk out the door.
Now that the “Golden Age” of TV Time is over, Tenna spends every waking hour wondering which day might be his last. Without Spamton in his life to keep him from becoming obsolete, Tenna spirals into an uncertain future. He can’t figure out which is stronger: his resentment toward Spamton for abandoning him, or the intense pining for the love they once shared.
Try as they might to mend their broken bond, there is no recovering from this fatal error of their own creation.

Summary
“I’m really excited we’re doing this,” Tenna whispered, voice a low buzz of static in Spamton’s ear before he pulled away and stood, fussily brushing dirt off his trousers. “I think we’re going to have a really beautiful partnership.”
“A lucrative partnership.”
“That’s what I said.” Tenna lingered for a moment, looking excited and awkward all at the same time and then stiffened, screen gone black and antennae standing at attention, a zap of electricity rippling between them. He raced off, floor thumping and warping wildly underneath the sheer weight of him, the whole set awash in light. “She’s here! She’s got her cup of hot cocoa ready and everything! Places, people, places! I don’t want to see any loitering! I don’t want to see any lollygagging! And, god forbid, I don’t want to see any LAGGING BEHIND! Come on, on the double, iiiiiiiiiit’s SHOWTIME!”
Spamton settled backstage in the uncomfortable folding chair that Tenna had set up for him and resigned himself to a dull evening of corny jokes and unbearably sappy ballads, only to be greeted with the most surprising fact of all.
Tenna was good.

Summary

“YOU [Bring It Back] HIM [Back].” Spamton spoke, a strain in his voice as he shook. “HIS F4TE WAS [Set In Stone], Y3T Y0U- YOU” His big, glossy eyes that reminded Suzie of a doll drilled holes into her face.“He’s my friend, of course I’m going to do everything that I can to save him.” Suzie spoke plainly. “Now, here’s the deal, mister salesman-” pun not intended, she thought as she cradled Tenna’s freezing body “-he’s not waking up, and I don’t know what to do.” She did everything in her power so that her voice wouldn’t crack. “I NEED to get help. Do you know- anyone-”
---or:
Spamton saw Tenna almost die. And the decades of deep-rooted animosity dissolved inside him - faster than anything hurled into Queen's battery acid. Basically, he folded. Again.
And everything could be great. If Tenna was awake, of course. -
