"With thoughts of that 'beautiful moron' E.T. swirling in his head, Harry gets to work on the radio, but has to stop when Kate shows up with her cousin Carlyn (guest star Alex Borstein) in tow. Carlyn hurt herself while hiking and needs medical attention (she's not dying, much to Harry's disappointment). We soon learn, though, that Carlyn is something of a science genius herself: She works in a lab at New Mexico Tech and is impressed with Harry's skills. And his looks. And his personality... which seems sus but who are we to judge?
Asta, Liv, D'Arcy (Alice Wetterlund), and Kayla (Sarah Podemski) plan a girls' night (what they call a 'GN 59') to blow off some steam, and D'Arcy invites Kate and Carlyn, leaving Ben alone for the evening.
Meanwhile, Max (Judah Prehn) finds Sahar (Gracelyn Awad Rinke) in the park and asks for her help with his latest problem: shaving the hair on his back. For some privacy, Sahar leads Max to the government agents' RV, which is parked in the woods and seemingly abandoned. You'll recall from last season that Sahar cooked up a genius idea to track the agents using Kate's phone, and it's held onto its battery life long enough for Sahar to find it. Not too far away, Agent David Logan (Alex Barima) is working on tracking General Wright's (Linda Hamilton) movements, but his tech blows out. Luckily for him, he knows where he can find another one.
Max and Sahar aren't so lucky, since that tech is in the RV where Sahar is about to wax Max's back. Sahar, the genius feminist that she is, explains inequitable female Western beauty standards to her friend — right before ripping the hair off his back with zero remorse after Max tries to tell her how hard it is to be a guy.
Realizing Kate's plans leave him alone for the evening, Mayor Ben awkwardly approaches Sheriff Mike as a hangout buddy. Mike turns him down because he says he has to take care of his father, but Liv steps in to point out how much Mike's dad Lewis (Alvin Sanders) would like to get out of the house for a beer and tells Ben he'll be there.
That night at The 59, the ladies prep for their crazy night. Carlyn regales them with stories about how her lab supervisor sexually harasses her and how she's been afraid she'll never find a nice guy. Now, she has. That guy?
One Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle, who's shown up in his fancy clothes to woo Carlyn and get access to her lab for a portable defuser. He knows he's no E.T. He doesn't have "his bulbous football head or his squat corgi legs or his platypus feet" — Harry's just REALLY into E.T., okay? — but he's confident in his ability 'to be a charming alien' when he needs to be. Lucky for him, Carlyn's already digging on his vibe.
An impromptu date commences, and it turns out Carlyn and Harry are... kind of perfect together? We've no idea how to describe what ensues on this date, so, honestly, just watch the below clip and be entertained"
