Information
Edit
The episode opens with the footage from the 1969 moon landing. Sector V, excluding Numbuh 4, laugh their heads off watching this. Just then, the news announces that NASA intends to colonize the Moon by sending a family up there, taking them by surprise.
Up on the KND Moonbase, Numbuh 362 informs all operatives that since the KND Moonbase was established, the KND pulled off a fake landing and that they will have to do it again because the adults are sending a family (Numbuh 4's) to the moon to see if it can be colonized, but the Kids Next Door redirect them to Hollywood, making the Beatles family and the adults think they're on the moon when they aren't, so they won't discover the KND Moonbase. And the best part is, they haven't even told Numbuh 4.
The Kids Next Door try to make the Beatles stay on the Moon as short as possible. Meanwhile, Numbuh 4 is grumbling over having moved to the Moon and leaves the dinner table in a fit with his father. He then thinks to go to the Moonbase and escapes from his house, unaware that he's walking to the edge of the set, with his family following him. In desperation, Numbuh 1 issues the ok for the KND to attack the Beatles disguised as aliens, sending the Beatles fleeing back into their house and returning to their original home with an emergency button. But in the process, they make the adults fire missiles at the real moon, trying to destroy the 'aliens'. Numbuh 3 then came up with a brilliant plan to divert the missiles away from the moon, and fake the moon blowing up. Then there is a screen, in which the adults were watching. Showing Numbuh 3 holding a dart, pointed at the balloon that was on her blue Rainbow Monkey, causing it to pop. In the end, she ended up sending the missiles towards the fake moon in Hollywood. The episode then ends with Numbuh 5 saying, "Houston, we've got a problem!"
