S03E08 Invasion of the Thacher Snatchers
Episode Overview
Corky becomes convinced that his family is transforming into aliens after watching a B-movie titled "Body Snatchers From Venus." Meanwhile, Paige is training to be a welder, and in Corky's nightmare, she constructs a spaceship. Tensions rise between Paige and Becca due to a faulty answering machine, which Corky imagines as a long-distance communicator. Drew is attempting a new diet and fitness plan, and when he tells a friend that a new exercise machine will "make you a new man," Corky panics. Becca is also in the process of applying to college, and when an Illinois State University rep expresses interest in her, Corky overhears. Fearing that Venusians dislike dairy and acidic foods, Corky retaliates by attacking his family with baking soda and milk.
