Plot[]
In the city, Elliott and Mo sit on a bench situated above miniature homes for tiny aliens, the inhabitants of which are all arguing with each other. Unaware of this, the two of them complain that their only food—the Kretzels—tastes awful. As the trio continues to walk through the streets and the sun goes down, Elliott wonders when they'll stop somewhere for the night. Frankie admits that she doesn't know what they should do or where they'll go, but agrees that they need to find a place to stay soon. In the middle of their conversation, a creepy-looking stranger with a hydraulic jaw suddenly pops out from an alley behind them, startling them. He begins to offer them a place to stay, just like they're looking for, and Elliott approaches happily, ready to accept the offer. Frankie, who is extremely wary around the stranger, immediately pulls Elliott back and refuses the offer before urging Elliott and Mo to keep moving.
As they walk away, Frankie explains to Elliott that they need to be more cautious in the city. When she tries to tell Mo the same thing, they notice that he'd stopped to try and eat the plant-like appendage on an alien's head. Though the alien ends up fine, Frankie advises Mo to "look but don't touch" after the incident. Mo, left upset by it, tells Elliott that he's wary about not knowing what anything is and that he misses his home in Biosphere 1138. Elliott and Frankie comfort Mo, letting him know that he's not alone in being new there.
Another stranger, an old lady wearing a sunglasses-like visor, hears them and calls them over, offering shelter for the night. They enter her home, which is an elaborate icy mansion on the inside, and explore her collection of ice sculptures. Elliott notices one that looks like the stranger from the alley before, but cannot say anything more about it before the lady tries to bring him to the kitchen to help serve tea. Elliott pulls away from the lady, saying he'd rather not. Elliott tells Frankie that he thinks the lady is a bit creepy and that he doesn't entirely trust her, but Frankie encourages him to be kind and help the old lady, even if she is "slightly eccentric".
Elliott begrudgingly complies and goes into the kitchen, while Frankie reminds Mo to "look but don't touch" as he explores the house. The two of them suddenly hear an odd noise from the kitchen, and the lady asks for someone else to help her. Frankie goes into the kitchen, leaving Mo alone in the main room. In Frankie's absence, Mo tries to remember the saying that Frankie told him, but mixes it up, and instead tells himself to "touch but don't look" as he walks around with his eyes closed and his arms out.
Frankie enters the shadowy kitchen, ready to help, and notices something wrong with Elliott. As she gets closer, she sees that he's covered in ice and is frozen solid, and suddenly realizes that the lady truly is dangerous. Before she can do anything, the old lady approaches Frankie and takes off her visor, revealing a single eye that quickly freezes Frankie, too. The lady chuckles at the sight of Frankie and Elliott frozen solid side-by-side, and walks off to find Mo.
Mo soon wanders into the kitchen, where the lady begins to corner him. She demands that he look at her, but Mo refuses, unwilling to stop following what he thinks the directions given to him by Frankie were. The lady eventually gives up and unfreezes Frankie and Elliott's heads, and demands that they tell Mo to open his eyes so she can freeze him. When they ask why the lady is luring people in and freezing them in the first place, she reveals that it's what her species does to eat. Upon learning this, Frankie offers some Kretzels for her to eat instead, and when the lady likes the taste of them, Frankie and Elliott offer her the entire bag in exchange for the freedom of everyone she has frozen in her home. Begrudgingly, the lady accepts.
Outside, the other unfrozen citizens thank the trio for freeing them, and say that they are all in the trio's debt after the three of them saved all of their lives. When Frankie asks if any of them could give them a place to stay for a while, though, the group thinks it's too much to ask for and goes away. As Frankie admits that she's not as good of a judge of character as she thought, the stranger with the hydraulic jaw reappears, startling them just like before. He repeats his earlier offer, and Elliott is once again happy to accept it. Though Frankie does not outright refuse at first, she is still wary. The stranger reassures that it is an honest deal, though, as it is now fair recompense for saving his life. Elliott asks Frankie what she thinks about the offer, and Frankie accepts it.
The trio travels to Biosphere 2901, a residential area, where the stranger offers them two vacant habitation pods that are next door to each other. Mo enters one to find a blank room before the pod scans him, and soon afterward the environment transforms into a replica of his home in Biosphere 1138. Mo happily celebrates the fact that he's back in his home again, and curls up to go to sleep. Meanwhile, Elliott and Frankie enter their habitation pod and find that it has turned into an exact replica of the living area from their RV on Earth. Both of them are happy to be home as well, and Elliott excitedly runs toward the window near his bed. He realizes that there is one thing different in their new home: through the window, he can see the majestic sight of the rest of the vast Centrium, and the beautiful cosmos beyond it.
