Michael sneaks a newspaper out of the janitor's cleaning basket, and finds out that Lisa has put his house up for sale.

A chemist has developed a compound that causes people and other animals to lose all inhibition and fear. He experiments with it by spiking the punch at a singles dance, and at least one person dies, while one is put into a coma as a result. Michael and Dr. Morris embark on a search for the source of this "fear vaccine". After some prodding from Heather, Lisa shows up at Michael's townhouse to ask him out to dinner and extends the invitation to Dr. Morris as well. Dr. Morris accepts on behalf of them both with the intention of standing her up, hoping it will make her so angry at them that she won't contact them again.

Dr. Morris has equipped Michael with a high-tech jumpsuit that lights up and is visible from 50 miles away at an altitude of 30,000 feet. When Michael questions what he would be doing at 30,000 feet, Dr. Morris tells him he'll be jumping out of an airplane to test a new zero-gravity super barrier. Heather is struck by lightning while watching the strange light in the sky, lapsing into a coma. Michael insists on seeing her at the hospital, and accidentally activates the light suit from outside her 4th floor hospital window just as Heather awakens. Heather thinks she's seeing an angel. When asked by a teacher, she reluctantly tells the story of seeing an angel and her schoolmates think she's crazy. She agrees to an interview with the school paper, which leads to the story spreading and other media outlets mobbing the Wiseman home for a story. All the media attention has hampered Dr. Morris' ability to continue further testing, so he and Michael must solve this dilemma.
