Club Med takes on a new dimension in this sequel to My Life Among the Aliens. The Denis family is blackmailed (by Saliva, a slimy alien) into turning their home into a resort for vacationing extraterrestrials. ("We're going to run a hotel!" Will shrieks with joy.) The trouble is Mom says that as the planet's ambassadors, they have to make a good impression, which can only happen if there is no dirty underwear lying on the floor. Before he knows it, Will's become the family expert on centralized vacuuming and there are all sorts of new rules. Will has real concerns ("What if aliens are offended by cleanliness?"), but Mom cannot be swayed. Will, Rob (and Dad) have no problem letting aliens sleep in their beds...but housework?

Once again, Gauthier gives new insight into the mayhem called "family life," in eight episodes featuring deadpan humor of cosmic proportions.

The Denis Family Reacts To Being Blackmailed:

Dad: "I hope what I'm about to ask isn't rude or anything, but these clients of yours-they won't be higher on the food chain than we are, will they?"

Robby: "We'd be the only people we know having aliens sleep over!"

Mom: "Houseguests mean a lot of extra cooking and cleaning. Has anyone thought about who is going to do all that extra work?"

Will: "We'll take care of them. We'll do all the extra work. I swear we will."

Mom: "Will, that's what you and Robby said about the fish you wanted a couple of years ago. You remember how that turned out?"

Robby (again): "Please! Please! Please, Mommy!"
