Gwendolyn Purdy is mocked by her pupils and criticized by her principal. Gwendolyn shows the pupils her tektite collection but then loses her temper which is seen by Cannon. Later, back home the tektite collection starts glowing. Two aliens tell her that their leader, Kryptos, wants to meet her. Kryptos thinks earth women are ugly but wants to take Gwendolyn back to Uranus. Gwendolyn goes home to think about this and decides to improve her appearance. When Kryptos meets her again he is horrified and asks to be released from his request. Later Cannon asks Gwendolyn out to a dance.
