[edit] Recap
The episode begins with Vegeta blasting open the metal door leading into the lab.
Dr. Gero then orders the androids to attack but they do not follow the doctor’s orders. Then Android 18 realizes that Android 16 has not been opened from his chamber and wants to see what he looks like. Dr. Gero told Android 18 not to open it but she did not listen. Then Android 17 put Dr. Gero to rest by decapitating his head and then squashing it. Ouch!
Future Trunks then realizes that if they release Android 16 the world would be finished and he blasted the laboratory to pieces. However Android 18 kept the unawaken Android away from the blast. Then she opened it and the Android was released, revealing an humongous with an orange Mohawk. When Android 17 and Android 18 tried to talk to him 16 did not respond. This is because Android 16 did not talk unless it was about his mission. Then Android 17 tells 18 it would be time to fulfil their mission in destroying Goku. Android 16 realizes what they are doing and finally answers to their questions. Then the three Androids leave.
Krillin then realizes that they gone after Goku. However Vegeta more angry that the Androids had ignored him and he gave chase to them.
