Summary[]
Tony considers accepting a job in the private sector in Ohio. Jeannie and Roger then use a magical stereopticon device to see how Tony's life would be if he accepted. It appears that Tony would have been very happy in his luxurious office with two gorgeous secretaries. However, both Jeannie and Roger think that secretly he would be miserable because he would no longer be an astronaut. Jeannie then shows Tony a very different future where his office is located in a sub-basement with two very ugly and cranky secretaries, and that his life would be a disaster. However, it backfires when he thinks that his taking the job would help the company get on its feet. Jeannie then takes very drastic measures to ensure that Tony doesn't accept the position.
