It's another

sunny day in Indiana, folks!

It's 90 degrees and climbing.

So throw your kids in a lake,

because it's going

to be a hot one!

All right, now we're going

to try to beat the heat

with another cool off.

Is science your life?

If you just nodded your head,

then you belong at our camp.

Join us this summer

for some scierrific fun.

Hey, where's your brother?

You're going to look up

from that tiny little screen

and your entire summer

is going to be gone.

Why don't you just

throw me in a lake'?

What'?

Go find your brother.

You want to make

your summer worthwhile?

Then sign up now!

Yay!

Come on, we got to go.

Let go of me.

I can walk on my own.

I caught him watching that commercial

for the crazy science camp.

It's not a commercial.

It's an advertisement.

What's the difference? Did you

at least find a bathroom?

No, I got sidetracked.

Albie, do you remember the last

time you tried to hold it too long?

Mom, I'm fine.

Hey, maybe I can go here

instead of science camp.

Oh, honey, I'm sorry

that science camp didn't

work out for this summer.

What am I going to do with that

chemistry set that Dad gave me'?

Yeah, it's really too bad that he

can't go to his dorky science camp.

You know I'm committing

social suicide, right'?

Hashtag life stinks.

Hey, now, you guys

are going to feel differently

when we get to Aunt Jackie's.

Hashtag doubtful.

Oh, shakafaka!

That's one for the record books,

I'll tell you.

And we'll come back

with a lift/e more music

after this quick

commercial break.

Is science your life?

If you just nodded your...

You belong at our camp.

Oh, brother.

Hi! Hey! Hey! Hi!

Hey, I'm so glad to...

Look at this.

It's doing it on its own.

Please tell me we don't have

to be seen in public with her.

Oh, Tiffany, please. Cut it out.

Oh, yeah.

Watch this. Watch me go.

Yeah! Yeah! Come on.

Watch this. Oh, yeah!

I can do the robot. Oh, yeah!

Oh, yeah! Watch!

Come here, come here, come here.

Get over here.

Give me some sugar!

Hey. No, seriously, kid.

You got any candy?

You smell like Werthefis.

So you're saying I'm old'?

Maybe.

You know, I

used to look like her.

Anyway, you are going to be

my new test subject

for my comedy routine because

I can tell you are hilarious.

Lookin' what-what'?

Harassing him already?

Of course!

Hi. Good. Good ride.

Thank you so much for letting

them come stay with you.

Are you kidding? I'm so

excited to have them.

Oh, my gosh. Are you excited?

These look heavy.

They're very heavy.

Okay, be careful then.

Thanks.

Okay, well...

So Luke and I,

we got this last-minute call

to go do some

seismology research in the...

Blah, blah, blah. You

lost me at seismology.

My niece and nephew are here.

It's really exciting.

They're here! They're... kids!

Kids...

Well, you know, they

shouldn't be much trouble.

I mean, Tiffany is 16.

Well, she can't be any worse

than you were at that age.

What'? No. I was a great child.

Shh, shh, shh, no.

Acceptance is good.

You were a brat.

Oh, come on.

Which one is my room'?

Tiffany, your manners.

Just take whichever

room you like.

Oh, she's driving me

absolutely crazy.

Oh, let me tell you about Albie.

Okay. Okay, he's very sensitive.

Okay'? He has

a lot of allergies,

so he should probably just

stay inside most of the time.

Or you'll be dealing

with a lot of problems

like drainage and mucus.

That's a little graphic.

Yeah. Where does

it all come from'?

He also has some trouble

making friends.

So he likes to be alone.

Yeah, he can be

a little awkward.

He stays to himself a lot,

and that's fine.

Don't worry if he doesn't

really engage with you.

He's Brilliant. How do you do?

He loves science

and really learning

anything in a book.

He's great.

Okay, I think fresh air

will do him some good.

No, he should really

probably just stay inside.

No, he should go outside.

Yeah, you should go outside.

Yep, that's it.

I'm kicking you out.

Go, go. But...

Tiffany? Albie'?

I'm leaving.

Goodbye.

Bye. Bye.

Be good.

I'll see you

in a few weeks, okay'?

Have fun.

The bond between

a mother and her son,

it's just, I don't know.

Okay, you be good, too.

Okay.

Can't guarantee anything.

Bye. Bye.

Yeah, they're safe with me.

Have fun in the Grenadines.

Whoa, it's warm up here.

You've been carrying all those

books around in that bag?

Honey, you're going

to get a hunchback.

Master, tonight is time

we bring the creation to life.

Wow, looks like you've got

the tools to do it, too.

This is pretty cool.

There's that smile

I've been looking for.

Hey, I got something

you might like.

A book by Dr. Whittmore.

Did you know him'?

Well, yeah, I know everyone in this town.

I think a

fairy just got its wings.

It's just Tiffany texting.

Mmm.

Apparently my friend Abella's

stepmom's uncle's new wife

has a boat on the lake.

And she asked me to come with.

You have a friend named Abella'?

Oh, I love that name.

Yeah.

Oh, Abella is here.

Later. Oh, peace out.

So what are you going to do

your first day of vacation'?

This book looks informative.

Did you know that

that copy is signed

by Dr. Whittmore himself?

He gave it to our family

along, longtime ago.

But can't let you

read it just yet.

Why not'?

We have to rehearse.

Huh?

Yeah.

We have an audition

in 20 minutes.

I once was lost

But now I'm found

Was blind but now I see

Um, bril...

Deligh...

Exes...

Satis...

Amazing.

Did you write that'?

No. Oh.

"Many mumbling mice"

"are making merry music

in the moonlight."

You're on in 10, Mr. Savage.

Thank you, Ted.

It's Cheryl.

Really? Mm-hmm.

Oh.

Next up, Eday Savage.

Oh, French.

Eddie Savage.

Eddie Savage?

That's not French at all.

Hi.

Ladies and gentlemen of Culver,

I will now magically

right before your eyes

bake a cake.

Well, that's disgusting.

Oh, that's... that had

better be gluten-free.

Now...

Ladies and gentlemen... No.

Luive you...

No, no, don't.

Cake!

Why would you even?

Ta-da!

Next!

You might want to clean that up.

Okay, so first thing

we got to do is sign in,

and then were going

to scope out the competition.

Hello there,

ventriloquist boy.

Oh, yes. What is he, like six'?

Dude, we got this.

Wow, look at her.

In her little baton

twirling, sequined dress.

That's our competition.

What the frick

is going on, Garrison?

It's a summer competition.

It's the auditions.

Oh, one time,

I was at a Denny's

with my family.

We just got up in the

middle of the restaurant,

started singing

the national anthem.

It was Presidents' Day.

I was feeling patriotic.

And when I was done,

standing ovation.

Nice. Yeah.

You know, I'm thinking about

going into the talent show.

Check this out. What

would your talent be'?

Hey.

Hey, your ball'?

Your ball went in there'?

Oh, let's see. Oh, right there.

Boo!

Right'? Right'?

Oh, I get it. Whoo!

I get it. I get it.

You'd be going as a ghost

who stuffs kids in trash cans.
