Mary runs between Dick and the Black Knight, and Neesam declares himself to be Scoochie. Mary can't believe that Neesam has been writing her love letters for three year, but Liam says it's true. Dick's still lamely trying to make a case for himself as Scoochie, but it doesn't work. Dick goes home and tells his fellow aliens that Neesam's back. They're watching their very favorite video, Arthur 2, and announce that they've discovered the prequel, Arthur. Dick tells them that he has to fight back to keep Liam from stealing Mary. Liam takes Mary out to a restaurant, and Dick comes, with Judith as his "date," to spy on them. Liam offers Mary a new job with a salary in the high six-figures. The job will give Mary the opportunity to do ground-breaking anthropological work. Dick reports to the other aliens that Liam's sole mission on earth is to win Mary. They suggest that he reveal himself to Liam as a fellow alien, so Liam will feel honor-bound to keep his hands off Mary. Dick does as they advise, but succeeds only in learning that Neesam is using Mary as a cover for his master plan to devolve all humans into monkies. Neesam wants to turn the earth into a giant theme park called Planet Money World. He threatens to reveal Dick's true identity if Dick tries to tell Mary about his fiendish plan. He later unveils his master plan to all the Solomons and shows them his Apemaker 3000, a species transmorphing device. Albright resigns her job and makes an unbearably pompous speech at her going away party that annoys all her colleagues. Dick tells Mary that she's making a big mistake if she takes the job with Liam, but Mary assumes that Dick is just jealous. Dick knows he must save the world, and he concludes that since Liam has a human body, he must have human emotions. His only chance is to appeal to Liam's sensitive side. Liam's temporarily distracted from his plan when the theme music from Arthur touches him, but the following morning he's back on track. He stops off at Dick's office to announce that Planet Money World is moving forward, but Dick manages to get his hands on Liam's devolver and shoots him. Albright walks in just as Liam is morphing into a monkey.
