Rumors are circulating about a new family that has moved in & Buster thinks that they may be art thieves, spies or aliens, even after he meets Sue Ellen. When Buster's mom invites Sue Ellen & her family over for dinner, he finds out that Sue Ellen's not an alien, but just a kid who has lived in various places around the world. | Rumors are circulating about a new family that has moved in & Buster thinks that they may be art thieves, spies or aliens, even after he meets Sue Ellen.

While they are sled racing, Arthur, Buster and Francine spot a moving truck outside of a large house. The boys sneak around outside of the house to see if anyone's inside. They run off when they see a light turn on seemingly by itself. Buster assumes that the new family is a group of invisible people. | While they are sled racing, Arthur, Buster and Francine spot a moving truck outside of a large house.

Arthur later shows up at Buster's home, reading a newspaper that explains that Sue Ellen's family had previously traveled all over the world, which is why they have foreign collectibles in their home. Buster still believes that Sue Ellen is an alien, but he is eventually proven wrong: Sue Ellen reveals at school the next day that her father worked around the world, which is why they moved around from place to place. Buster still believes that the new family are aliens, albeit friendly ones. | Arthur later shows up at Buster's home, reading a newspaper that explains that Sue Ellen's family had previously traveled all over the world, which is why they have foreign collectibles in their home.

*This episode tells of how Sue Ellen came to Elwood City. However, she was seen as a background character in previous episodes and was even seen in Arthur's Second Grade class, long before the time frame of this episode and Mr. Ratburn was their teacher, but [[Mr. Marco]] was supposed to be. However, when she was introduced in the book ''[[Arthur's Valentine]]'', she was in the second grade with Arthur and his friends. This seems to be a continuity error. | *This episode tells of how Sue Ellen came to Elwood City.

*In the first shot of the first scene after the title card, we hear Muffy's voice cheer "Yippee!" and see her fly down the hill on a green sled. Following her are Arthur, Francine and Buster. Buster wipes out as Francine and Arthur reach the bottom and Francine asks who won the race. Buster is too distracted by the Armstrong moving van. But Muffy (who would have won the race) is nowhere to be seen or heard for the rest of the scene. | *In the first shot of the first scene after the title card, we hear Muffy's voice cheer "Yippee!" and see her fly down the hill on a green sled.
