James Van Der Beek guest stars as Heather's boyfriend, two years before Dawson's Creek.
Spit's alien pet Varch gets out of quarantine and joins the Brody household. Heather develops an instant dislike for the creature -- especially when the animal eats her new boyfriend, Ethan. The boy is rescued, but Heather is furious.
Heather finds Varch in her closet and throws a shoe at it -- and she's surprised when he doesn't wake up. Satisfied, she thinks the troublesome critter is finally dead. It turns out that the animal periodically sheds its exoskin -- and the other kids have fun preying on Heather's guilty conscience before she learns the truth.
Meanwhile, Sally tries to put Bobut on a no-pudding diet.
