"The Dank Web of Trees": Dr. Oh logs Matt and Zack on to the Tree Internet where trees use fungus to communicate, share resources and live in harmony... or do they!? Matt and Zack hack into the root system and learn this underworld is far seedier than they could ever imagine.

"Aliens of Antiquity": Dr. Oh is furious that Matt and Zack are watching a TV show about how aliens helped ancient Egyptians, so he takes them back 3000 years to show them how impressive the Egyptians truly were - no aliens required. They also find out what "ithyphallic" means.
