Eric disguises MAC as a teddy bear and takes him to a birthday party at a local McDonald's, where Debbie's older sister Courtney works. Meanwhile, FBI agents Wickett and Zimmerman track MAC down and begin spying on the Cruise residence. Eric's behavior towards the alien, which he names MAC (short for "Mysterious Alien Creature") changes after he fixes all of the damage he caused to the house, and leaves behind several newspaper clippings that Eric believes are an attempt to communicate. After the alien is released, Michael now believes Eric, but it leaves before Janet can be convinced. The two trap him inside a vacuum cleaner, which malfunctions and causes the entire neighborhood to suffer a power surge. Later that night, he sets a trap with the help of his new friend, Debbie, who had also seen the alien. Eric is not believed at all when he tries to tell his family about the creature's actions. After noticing the creature, Eric tries to catch up to him, but ends up sliding down a hill and falls into a lake, where he nearly drowns, but is rescued by the alien. The next morning, he finds that the creature has trashed most of the house and learns its identity, but Janet blames both him and Michael for what has happened.
