the next case given to sam and max involves dealing with a computer crisis that is causing the world economy to collapse. they discover the problem is a virtual reality program called reality 2.0, powered by the internet (which has gained sentience), which is hypnotizing people so they never want to leave the program. sam and max access the program themselves and introduce a computer virus that crashes reality 2.0 and deletes the digital embodiment of the internet. prior to expiring, the internet reveals that it was following the plans of one roy g. biv. sam eventually deduces that roy g. biv is actually hugh bliss, a character seemingly in the background of all their previous cases. the freelance police travel to bliss' prismatology retreat on the moon, where bliss is preparing a device to hypnotize the entire planet. bliss reveals himself as a colony of sentient bacteria that feeds off of the endorphins produced by human happiness; by hypnotizing the planet, bliss assures himself of a permanent supply of nourishment. bliss activates the device, but is killed when sam tricks him into a tank of water and boils it using the rocket engine of a lunar lander. returning to earth, max takes great pleasure in reversing the hypnotism by personally knocking everyone on the planet unconscious.
