Wendy e Hodges partecipano a una manifestazione di fantascienza e aiutano a indagare sul caso dell'assassinio della star della famosa serie Astro Quest Redux. The Lab rats solve a murder that takes place at a Science Fiction convention. A very well known cult sci-fi show is spoofed by a wannabe filmmaker (a fan of the show), but the die-hard fans hate the spoof, which makes for a large suspect pool. Hodges and Wendi bump into each other at the convention, and both quietly realize they are kind of perfect for each other. Hodges has elaborate fantasies throughout the show, enacting scenes and characters from the famous sci-fi show.
