Plot[]
The episode begins in Dr. Pork's office. The first Minion Pig entered the office clearly suffering from something that looked like chickenpox. Dr. Pork proceeded to examine the patient's heartbeat, checked his internal reflexes, and gave him a spoonful of medical syrup which instantly cured him. Happy that he had been cured, the pig left the office.
The second patient was the Tenor Pig. He had a more washed out color and and was coughing, having a weak and raspy voice as well. Just like he did with the first patient, he soon cured Tenor Pig and he was able to clearly sing again. Just then, the third and final patient entered, who was the possessed Minion Pig from Abduction. When Dr. Pork measured the Minion Pig's heartbeat, he heard a drum booming within the body. Concerned, he tried again and this time, he heard some honking. When he tried to do the reflex test, the Minion Pig vaporized the hammer, reducing it to ashes. Feeling scared, Dr. Pork tried to offer the syrup to the patient, and asked the pig to open his mouth, to which he does, but suddenly, the Intergalactic Explorer inside of him somehow finally escapes, freeing the pig from his grasp. The Intergalactic Explorer pig was so furious, he flew away in hot pursuit. Now free from the UFO, the Minion Pig was so happy, that he went on his merry way. The Doctor was so speechless that he stared at the audience, drank the whole bottle of syrup, and tossed it out, disbelieving that he saw a UFO.
