Synopsis:
Ralph Dibny awakens one night to witness his wife Sue leave with house with an alien. Ralph follows Sue to a cave where he is knocked unconscious. Ralph wakes up in his bed. Sue claims that he must have been dreaming about the alien.

Ralph isn't sure, so he finds the cave and footprints he left the night before. This time he carefully reenters the cave, avoiding being knocked out. Inside he finds aliens, one of whom resembles Sue. The aliens claim to be duplicating humans.

The aliens capture Ralph in a glass cage, but he escapes. Before the ensuing battle is over, Sue stops the fight and reveals the alien invasion is a hoax desgined for Ralph's birthday. Ralph doesn't tell her that he knew she was not an alien because of the tan she had gotten that morning.
