Ren finds herself reluctantly tutoring Beans in a writing program. Meanwhile, downstairs at the Stevens' home, Louis and Twitty are unnerved after watching a documentary about potential alien life. Their fear escalates when a mysterious man in black named Mason knocks on the door searching for Beans, who has inexplicably vanished. As their imaginations spiral, they start to wonder if Beans could actually be an extraterrestrial. The boys decide to follow him home, chuckling at their own paranoia—until they peek through a window and see Beans with his parents, who turn out to be enormous bugs! They flee in terror.
