More Detail:

In “Pressurized,” the Robinson parents find themselves trapped inside their vehicle as it sinks in a tar pit. They face the reality that they might die and discuss their marital disagreements, aiming towards reconciliation. Meanwhile, one of Judy’s teammates is crushed while transferring the rescued fuel back to camp. She makes the hard decision to sacrifice the treasured fuel to try and save his life. Penny consoles Will after he’s forced to say goodbye to the robot. June Harris tries to rebuild the robot to use for her own purposes.

The main plot points in PRESSURIZED feel a little contrived, like the writers were looking for any possible accidents or problems. However, the episode provides a nice framework for the Robinson parents to resolve their tension, and it does lend itself to the larger plot, as Judy is forced to make a decision that puts everyone at risk. The Robinsons continue to show courage, love for their family, and willingness to sacrifice for each other. Some mild language and a little gore may make this episode inappropriate for very young viewers.
