And then... Wayne goes to do a good deed for a visiting vacationer and gets abducted! Becky is with him and is she going to get abducted too? Does anyone hear her screams for Help! Their small town suddenly gets a huge wake-up call and a big school assembly follows.
Fred and Edie need to get back to their home at Lake Tear of the Clouds now that Newton has finally found his life-mate Janine.

Just maybe, Grandpa Lynn has a solution.
