Meego gets his first paycheque, but still has a lot to learn about money; Maggie interrupts her studies to watch Trip and his friend play street hockey.

Maggie tries to tell her dad that the family nanny is an alien. Meanwhile, Meego goes on a date with the Parkers' next-door neighbor; and Edward helps Alex build a model car for a derby.

When Meego hears that Trip is no longer required to study to pass history now that he's the star of the basketball team, which is coached by the history teacher, Meego gives his own lesson. Meego shrinks the teacher/coach and leaves him guarded by watchdog Barkley, while he substitutes - as King George III. Meanwhile, Dr. Parker and Alex plan a fishing trip.

Meanwhile, the alien plays poker with Dr. Parker and some interns.
