After an accident at a show in Mozambique that seemed to be caused by Pickle's drinking and cost millions of dollars in damage, Pickles is forced to go to rehabilitation. While in rehab, the band replaces Pickles at practice with a high tech, sentient drum machine named X2P1158 which is inexplicably armed with a 10,000 megaton self detonation device. At the rehab center, Malevolent Creation, Pickles is rehabilitated through steps 1 through 11 leaving only step 12 which requires him to forgive his brother whom he hates because he blames his brother for his drinking. When Pickles returns to the band, he discovers that he has been replaced by X2P1158 until he finishes the 12th step and forgives his brother. In the meantime, X2P1158 becomes self-aware through alcohol, drugs and sex with groupies, an event its creators warned against. Pickles forgives his brother while at dinner at Outback Steakhouse, who immediately extorts 5 million dollars from him. When the band informs X2P1158 who they have recently come to dislike, the drum machine go haywire and kidnaps the band, locking them in a van and starts its self detonation sequence while attached to the vehicle. Pickles, deciding that to save the band, drinks alcohol and consequently gains a Popeye-like strength which allows him to bust out of the room that X2P1158 has locked him in. Pickles saves the band, destroying X2P1158 in the process. Guest voices: Kirk Hammett
