S01E17 Going, Going, Gone
Episode Overview
Title: Vanishing Act Plot: Martin experiences a bizarre series of transformations when his metabolism spirals out of control. He begins with an uncontrollable levitation finger, followed by magnetizing his clothes, levitating off the ground, becoming electrically charged, shrinking, and ultimately vanishing altogether. Discovering that increased sunspot activity is the culprit, he realizes there's no way to mitigate its effects on Martians. Five days pass, and with Martin still invisible, authorities suspect Tim, the beneficiary of a recent insurance policy sold by Mrs. Brown, of foul play. Determined to protect Tim from wrongful accusations, Martin decides to reveal his true Martian identity. Just as he’s about to confess, the sunspots fade, restoring his visibility just in time to save Tim and safeguard his secret.
