Plot

---

SPOILER: Plot details follow.

---

Frankie is running errands at the post office, mailing packages and sees Cheese at the door trying to get out chanting "gotta go" over and over. She later offers to give Cheese a ride in the Foster's bus, to help bring him to where he needs to "go", but Cheese instead runs straight past the Foster's bus and across the road, miraculously without getting hit by any incoming vehicles. Frankie manages to wrestle Cheese into the bus, where she drives them both to pick up Mac and Bloo from the movies (Bloo was disrupted in the middle of watching a movie about brain-sucking aliens) and then Coco and Eduardo from the dentist's.

As Frankie drives the gang to pick up Madame Foster and Wilt (who are settling a case in court against Jackie Khones about a sandwich), Bloo discovers that Cheese looks disturbingly similar to a picture of an alien in the "World Weekly Magazine" his reading leads to him believing that Cheese is an alien. He tries to warn Mac, but Mac doesn't believe him. So when Bloo is left in the bus to watch the still-frantic Cheese and a loopy Eduardo (who had twice the usual amount of anesthesia needed to remove a bad tooth), he uses his chance to go on a rampage to lure the aliens down, using Cheese as a hostage.

By the time Frankie and gang return to the bus, Bloo, Cheese and Eduardo have gone missing. Splitting up to find them, Wilt finds Eduardo running naked and trying to kiss people who think he's an alien trying to suck out their brains, and Frankie finds Bloo and Cheese up in an observatory, where Bloo is still trying to make futile contact with the aliens.

Frankie finally manages to catch and return Cheese to his owner Louise, who too, has no idea why Cheese keeps saying he's "gotta go." Just as everything seems to be settled, Frankie gets another call from Madame Foster: she, Mac (who didn't do anything), and the imaginary friends have been arrested for Jackie Khones and Coco refusing to buy a cop a sandwich, the panic that Eduardo caused (Wilt got arrested for this too though he didn't do anything bad), Madame Foster and Mac in contempt of court (Madame Foster kept out bursting) and, in Bloo's case, for infiltrating the observatory, and Frankie needs to go bail them out.

Meanwhile, at the afore-mentioned observatory, the scientists receive signals from a white glowing object outside the station that seems to be chanting, "Cheese... Cheese..." Cheese himself pops up out of nowhere and begins shouting again, happily this time: "Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go!" The episode ends with a glowing orb descending from the top-left part of the screen.

Bloo is later proven wrong in this episode during the end credits scene, showing Frankie in her car, having changed her torn clothes and getting ready to leave to bail them. Frankie momentarily stops when Cheese runs by, but decides that it's not worth going after Cheese this time.

Notes

• Mr. Herriman is absent in this episode.
• Starting with this episode, the show's intro has a much more angular look.
• In Madame Foster's court case, the only people present were Wilt, Madame Foster, Jackie Khones and the judge. It is a federal law that several of the city's citizens be present there (jury duty).
• This is the first episode for the rest of the series to be originally made in 16:9 widescreen which is different than the 4:3 fullscreen version of Good Wilt Hunting zoomed into widescreen.
• These are the reasons why the characters went to jail:
  • Bloo: The most guilty. He illegally used a space observatory intercom to call out for aliens to take Cheese away.
  • Mac: No reason. Possibly because he was with Madame Foster (or becouse he wasn't wearing a striped sweater.)
  • Eduardo: He was unknowingly causing city-wide panic and overall creating a public disturbance by kissing random citizens.
  • Wilt: He was seen with Eduardo. The police probably thought he was chasing the people too.
  • Coco: She was with kones.
  • Jackie Khones: Punched a policeman in the eye when the policeman wanted him to buy him a sandwich.
  • Madame Foster: Lost the lawsuit to Jackie Khones for eating her tuna sandwich ( it WAS madame foster's though... but she caused disorder in the courtroom and a full penalty was awarded to kones becouse of this.), and didn't pay the debt to Jackie Khones.
• There are wikis for all of the Invaded series. These wikis are:
  • http://fhif.wikia.com/ -> Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends Wiki.
  • http://ed.wikia.com/ -> Ed, Edd n Eddy Wiki.
  • http://gympartner.wikia.com/ -> My Gym Partner's a Monkey Wiki
  • http://camplazlo.wikia.com/ -> Camp Lazlo Wiki
  • http://grimadventures.wikia.com/ -> The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy Wiki.
• This episode premiered on the exact same date Spooder Man 3 was released in theatres.
• In this episode, Cheese said "Gotta Go" more than 545 times.
• This is the second and final episode that does not feature or take place at Foster's. The first was "Infernal Slumber." However, Foster's is seen in the credits.

Cultural References

• Bloo's tabloid newspaper says "Werewolves in London" on it. This is a reference to Warren Zevon's song, "Werewolves of London." The newspaper's name, the World Weekly News, is a play off the Weekly World News, a weekly newspaper that had outrageous fictional stories. It ceased publication in 2007. The werewolf also resembles Wilt when he turned into a werewolf in Mac's movie, in One False Movie and would later replay in a flashback in the Halloween episode Nightmare on Wilson Way.
• One of the scientists strongly resembles the fictional character Napoleon Dynamite.
• The title parodies one of Mystery Science Theatre 3000's really bad movies, Monster A Go-Go.
• When Frankie went to pick up Coco and Eduardo from the dentist, Loud Kiddington from Histeria! can be seen.
• The observatory seen the this episode is similar the observatory seen in another one of creator Craig McCracken's other shows, The Powerpuff Girls.
• The aliens in the movie Bloo watches are the same aliens from Camp Lazlo "Invaded" event: Strange trout from outer space and Cheese orbs.
• Fred Fredburger from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy can be seen during Madame Foster's trial.
