Plot
The episode begins with the Forman family yelling in fear from the sight of Marvin, who is still in alien form and forgot to turn on his human form. After turning into human form, the family invites him to play their board game with them. They tell him to spin, which when they are referring to the dial, Marvin takes it literally. Marvin becomes dizzy from the constant spinning and falls over the table, ruining the board game. The next scene starts with Marvin explaining to Liz Forman why he ate six boxes of cereal, which is due to him having five stomachs, yet one of them is for mating calls. Teri enters, stressing over her candidate speech for school. After wanting a bowl of cereal, Marvin regurgitates it, yet some spills on her speech. The next scene cuts to Teri advertising her campaign, yet failing. Cliff Drill enters the scene, causing nothing but an argument. He shows he wins supporters by showing off his abs. Teri becomes determined to win the race after thinking of all of the things that will happen if she does.

Marvin is then shown to be hiding and tells Teri that he released the animals in science class. His ability to talk to animals is revealed and a rat tells him that Cliff Drill stole Teri’s campaign posters. Cliff is revealed to have done this, only resulting in Marvin to be pinned against the wall. Teri interferes with the imminent fight and makes a speech against how Marvin is about to be pounded due to him being different and about how we are all different. But Cliff wants to fight with Marvin. But Marvin moved so fast and Cliff finishes exausted. Marvin pushes him in the trash.Teri wins the school campaign. Liz and Bob are shown to be worried about Marvin’s “space puberty” yet are shown to be fooled.
