Episode Plot

Johnny has a particularly destructive week at school from testing his sisters inventions at the school, culminating in the release of a monster from another dimension.

The school's guidance consular forces Johnny to go on a camping trip with his father believing he is acting out and orders his father to sign a confirmation form and bring back a pinecone from the forest or he will be expelled from the school. Believing that his dad hates camping Johnny plans to forge the evidence and bring it to school on Monday.

Shockingly Hugh is overly excited about the trip and dutifully drags Johnny along for the ride. Instead, Johnny heads to his sisters, both of whom are busy caging a 5th dimensional monster they released. Johnny plans to turn Dukey into a monster to scare off his father during the trip. While at first the girls and Dukey don't agree to the plot, both having other things to do, Johnny was able to convince them with "one heck of a speech," complimented the girls.

They give Johnny a "Monsterization ray" one blast will turn any living thing it hits into a monster and a second will turn them back. While Hugh is setting up their tent, Johnny puts his plan into action. While getting the ray Johnny feeds all their food supplies to a group of chipmunks, reasoning they won't be needing them anyway. Johnny blasts Dukey but he is carried off by a female Bigfoot. After explaining to Hugh what had happened, Johnny convinces his father to help him save Dukey from Bigfoot.

Tracking him and Bigfoot to a cave they discover that Bigfoot is in love with Dukey. Hugh agree's to Johnny's plan to Monsterize themselves and overpower Bigfoot however she over heard them and knocks the ray away towards a cliff before they could fetch it back. Dukey realizing his family is in danger breaks free of his bindings and saves them enraging Bigfoot even further. Just when Bigfoot has them cornered of their doom, the group is saved by monsterized chipmunks from the fallen ray, which Johnny realizes are the same ones he gave all their food supplies to. However, Hugh wan't really happy on Johnny giving their food to them.

The chipmunks return the Monsterization ray and Johnny de-monsterize's them and Dukey. At first they simply plan to leave the area, but Bigfoot starts crying, realizing she wasn't nasty just lonely. With this, Johnny makes a new plan. With his sister's help, he releases the interdimensional monster into the woods as a mate for Bigfoot, which surprisingly calms both creatures complete with a Mockup wedding.

Though Hugh agrees that they've bonded, the kids are all still banned when they get home.
