Plot
Doctor Brain is taken by surprise when Jesse Brain comes home with her witch friends Babs and Alicia, as he had forgotten that she had invited them over for a sleepover. Although he tries to excuse himself, Alicia suggests that he stay and hang out with them despite Jesse's weak protests. The evening goes well, with the girls appreciating the salsa cooked by Doctor Brain in his evil lab — although the girls seem to have a bit too much to drink. When Doctor Brain heads to his bedroom later in the night, however, he finds Alicia lying on his bed, nude and in a seductive pose. Baffled and embarrassed, he shoos the girl out of the room, and is left dumbfounded by “what just happened” and what might be up with “the youth these days” — while Alicia is left in tears at this rejection.
