**See Dick Continue to Run**EP#201 & EP#202
Good Dick, in a box in the basement, writes of the past events.
Evil Dick decides to call them all Tommy and a million other
"humiliating irrational edicts", while making plans to build a
big incubator. The three bump into Dennis Rodman, an alien from
their planet. Evil Dick is having a really hard time adjusting
to earth, but continues to court Mary in his naughty way. We
find that Evil Dick is a disgruntled former employee of the big
giant head, but no one sees the transmission, except Evil Dick.
The others finally find Good Dick and free him (after they talk
Sally into Mutiny). Dick is freed and Mary is saved but not
without the help of Dennis Rodman who escorts the shell of an
alien that is Evil Dick back to the home world.

**Hotel Dick**EP#205
The aliens see "Dawn of the Aliens" and are disturbed by the
negative portrayals of aliens. Dick decides to tell Mary that
he is an alien (much to the dismay of Sally and the others) and
decides that the sci-fi convention in Cleveland is the place to
do it. As Dick is trying to tell her, Mary misunderstands and
thinks Dick was in a mental clinic. When he finally tells her,
it is during a sex-game where Mary is pretending to be an alien
and she doesn't take it seriously. Harry sees the convention as
a place to fight negative alien stereotypes and Sally discovers
the wonders of Room Service... at least until they get the bill
(that must be the population of Cleveland). But all's not lost.
With the laptop, modem, key and shower cap Tommy transfers the
charges to Mr. Takei's room bill.

**Big Angry Virgin from Outer Space**EP#203
Dick's relationship with Mary is going well, but Sally and Mr.
Randall are not doing as well. August tests Tommy's commitment
to her by asking if he will stay with her even if she became
disfigured, again, and again, and agian. Harry, feeling left
out, goes to a video dating service. Between moments with
flavored international coffees... Sally first tries to give Mr.
Randall more control, then was going to mend the relationship
with sex, but neither works, so Sally remains a virgin and even
starts to like being single.
Sun. October 13th

**Much Ado About Dick**EP#204
The close realtionship between Dick and Mary causes friction
between the aliens. Mary and Dick soon have their own bit 'o
friction when the university learns of the romance and starts
gossiping. Sally gets a parking ticket and runs into officer
Don. Don shows Sally the glamorous side of cop life and Sally
wants to join the force. But when Dick forbids it (based on
something kinda like the prime directive), she and officer Don
are forced to part ways again. Such sweet sorrow! Dr. Sutor
advises Dick to ignore Mary to get her back and for as long as
he can, Dick tries. Mary gets over her fear of what other
people think at a faculty party and things are peachy again.
Guest Star Wayne Knight as Officer Don
