Space aliens take over a science station in the arctic and assume the identities of the researchers in order to carry out their devious plan. The aliens can only survive in freezing cold temperatures and they want to make the earth their new home by altering the entire planet's climate by creating another ice age. It is up to Max, Norman, and Virgil to stop them.moreless
Virgil's means of summoning: After crashing into a snowman on a sled. Max sees a message written from Virgil in the snow. He also left written directions on paper nearby. The message was "Dear Mighty One, You're needed immediately at the American Weather Station in the Aleutian Islands. Look to the right for directions to the nearest portal." A portal was in the middle of a highway.

Max: Virgil, the next time Earth needs to be saved, try calling 911, okay?

Norman: Hold on, noble chicken! We'll save you!

Scientist: How do I know you're not one of them? We've all been separated - anything could happen.
Max: That's true. Then how do we know you're you?
Scientist: Why would I question you, if I was one of them?
Virgil: It could just be a clever ploy to throw us off.
Scientist: Yeah, well maybe your questioning me questioning you is just a clever ploy to throw me off.
Max: What scares me is that almost makes sense. What do you think, Normy?
Norman: I'm not even sure if I'm who I think I am!

The Thing
This episode borrows its plot greatly from John Carpenter's 1982 film The Thing, which is about an Alaskan base invaded by an doppelganger alien whose only weakness is heat.
