Aliens in America 1.09 Junior Prank

Aliens in America Episode Highlights:

Claire getting stuck on Alpaca duty for a week for sneaking out
Gary interviewing for positions he’s clearly not qualified for (CFO, for example)
Raja being invited into the Junior Prank - which is always a lot more destructive than the Senior Prank. Justin thinks ‘risk assessment’ skills must develop in that year gap. But it brings social status.
Raja won’t do the prank - which involves potentially blowing himself up. But they are ‘in’ by default now, because they know who is planning the prank
New prank idea: fill the teachers lounge with water
Raja tries to get them to tell the principal - instead, Justin suggests simply going back and pulling out the hose later
Justin needs to keep Franny occupied to sneak out for the prank. When Franny suggests a garage sale, he tells her to use Craigslist on the computer in the kitchen.
Justin accidentally knocking over Raja with the fire hose. Since they couldn’t turn the water off, the best they could do was aim it away from the building
Which flooded the football field. Now the whole school hates them.
The principal devises a plan to get Justin or Raja to turn in the other kids behind the prank
The principal buying a dish Justin made for him mom off of Craigslist
Seniors hate them for blowing the football season ; juniors for blowing the prank
Justin having a guy sit on his head in detention
Franny going crazy on Craigslist - selling $4000 in stuff they will ‘never miss’. Well, not quite. She went a little overboard.
The alpacas have devalued - so Gary wants to buy 400 more! Franny turns that down, so Gary agrees they should sell the ones they have. But Claire loves them now, and doesn’t want to let them go. Franny lists them, but Gary decides to get any job to make Claire happy & keep the alpacas
Justin decides that if they turn on the other guys, but pull a new prank themselves, they can deflect the negative attention. He suggests the fake bomb idea again.
Raja has a better one: he takes the alpacas to school and puts them in the lounge! And gives Justin all the credit for the idea.
Gary begging for a job. He mentions selling his ‘lambs’, which the guy takes to mean his daughters. The manager takes pity and fires someone to hire Gary.
