Having been "tagged" by Jixen slime, Starkey is in hiding from The Department and from the Jixen warrior who survived K9’s blast. Jorjie tells Starkey that the Department is imprisoning Aliens, and K9 flies off to investigate. Jorjies’s mother turns out to be Department inspector June Turner, and there is a confrontation as the youngsters and K9 try to help release the innocent Aliens. Starkey confronts the Jixen with dire consequences.

Starkey is homeless and K9 and Jorjie try to help. Gryffen’s assistant Darius contacts them after the Professor, an agoraphobic, disappears from the mansion. A warning from the 50th century is received, and K9 and the youngsters give chase to a mind-sucking alien called the Korven, who has snatched Gryffen.
