Episode #306 "Scardy Dick"

Dick arrives at the doctor's office to take his first physical, but gets frightened and leaves before it starts; Dick tells the other aliens, who are getting ready for their Halloween festivities, that he couldn't go through with the physical. Mary and Nina stress to Dick how important it is for him to go back and get his physical, and Nina asks him what he's afraid of. Dick goes back to the doctor, but this time leaves in the middle of the physical and without his clothes. Mrs. Dubcek visists the aliens and admires their Halloween costumes; while she's at the apartment, she accidentally drops her lighter down the air vent. Dick encounters Dr. Howard, his physician, at the faculty party, and Dick pretends he ran out of Dr. Howard's office not because he was scared but as a protest. Harry is alone at home watching television when he begins to hear ghoulish wails; he very quickly realizes they're not coming from the television. Dick arrives home and also hears the frightening sounds; he and Harry are both terrified. Mary comes in, and Dick and Harry try to act unconcerned, but Dick soon tells Mary that they have a ghost. Mary hears nothing, says there are no ghosts and reproaches Dick for having become such a coward. Sally and Tommy are staked out at Mary's house in an attempt to defend it from pranksters, but Sally's taking the job a bit too seriously. Alone again, Dick and Harry have determined that the wailing is coming from the vent. The lights go out, and they hide in a closet.
