- Shawn and Gus help on a case involving a seemingly alien abduction. They ask their childhood friend, Dennis, to help them since he believes in aliens.
- Open with young Spencer, Gus and a nerdy friend talking to Henry about a weather balloon. The kids think it must have been a UFO, Henry does not.
We see a lawyer, Kessler, at home doing some work. He hears a strange noise and the TV begins to flicker. He goes for some pills but finds they are gone and his entire house begins to shake. A co-worker named Toby arrives with more work and a refill on his pills. At this point a light appears from the sky and a vessel of some sort lands on the lawn. A slender figure comes out and Toby walks towards the light as the other man yells.
Lassie, Jules and Henry arrive at Kessler's place the next day. Once Kessler mentions he thinks a UFO abducted Toby the cops immediately start to dismiss him. Spencer and Gus arrive and sound very interested while the cops move towards their cars. When Spencer agrees to take the case Henry walk back to warn them it's a bad ideas. The guys analyze the property and see tell-tale signs of aliens.
Kessler tells the guys he was totally sober and points out that Toby's car is still there and despite being brand-new will not start.
Spencer and Gus go to visit their old nerd friend Dennis (the pudgy kid from the opening). Dennis is now athletic and married to a beautiful wife named Molly. He has apparently become a jock. But the second Molly leaves the room Dennis pulls a switch and a secret nerd room opens up, complete with Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek memorabilia. Dennis has been pretending to be a jock for Molly's benefit. Dennis has hacked into the national weather service's computer and pulls up the satellite image from the night in questions. They see a weird orb fly over Kessler's hour. On their way out of Dennis' place both guys admit they think Toby was abducted. Gus calls Kessler to tell him they believe his story.
Cut to Kessler telling news cameras his belief that Toby was abducted and mentions to the reporter that the guys believe his story.
Henry calls Spencer and Gus into the station. Toby is at the station and the guys have become a huge joke to everyone. Apparantly Kessler has a history of psychotic episodes and in the past has admitted to seeing UFOs. Henry is worried this will impact his ability to get them cases.
Toby's story is that Kessler is acting crazy. He mentions that Kessler was not taking his meds. We learn that Kessler's firm has suspended him for a week. On their way out of the station the guys can't figure out a good explanation for what happened that night. They noticed a strange marking on Toby's arm. Gus is still convinced Toby was abducted, but Spencer isn't sure.
At Dennis' place they analyze the tell-tale signs of abduction. Spencer's new theory is that Toby tried to embarrass Kessler, since he has now been given all of his cases.
The guys spy on Toby outside his firm wearing sci-fi related disguises. All of sudden Toby takes off in a dead sprint. Toby loses them but then calls Spencer's cell phone. Not realizing it was them behind him, he admits that Kessler was telling the truth and asks them to meet him in front of a hotel in an hour.
While waiting at the hotel Toby's body lands in front of them, apparently the result of a suicide jump from the roof. Suicidal tendencies are a sign of abduction.
In the station Jules tells the guys Toby wired all of his money, $500,000, to a charity just before his death. Henry tells the guys he can't hire them to investigate Toby's death. On their way out Spencer snags a few pieces of papers, one of which is the coroner's report featuring a strange object inside Toby's stomach.
Woody tells the guys the object was a flash drive, but it is now in Lassie's possession.
While working on the flash drive Lassie begins having computer issues. It was Dennis hacking Lassie's computer to grab the flash drive. The drive contains legal documents related to a textile company which recently was responsible for a major chemical spill. Kessler believed the spill was intentional. Gus and Spencer try to convince Dennis to join them which they investigate the spill but he declines.
Spencer and Gus go the town where the spill occurred and find a fancy-looking truck. The vehicle is a machine that sends sonic vibrations into the earth looking for oil. It seems the textile company planned a chemical spill to drive residents away and have the oil for themselves. At this point a bright light appears in the sky.
The guys are taken via helicopter by representatives of the textile company. Spencer tells them his version of their evil plan: With Kessler on their heels, they paid Toby to help discredit Kessler. Toby began having second thoughts and they killed him. When it appears the guys are about to be shot Dennis comes into the room pretending to be a delivery guy. He pulls out Nun chucks and helps the disarm two of the guards. Just then Jules and Lassie burst into the room (Spencer sent a text to Henry) to establish order.
Spencer and Gus are now being hailed as heroes for uncovering the conspiracy. Henry reluctantly gives them an additional job.
Molly ends up discovering that Dennis is a nerd. Fortunately it turns that she is a closeted nerd herself.
