While his nerd brothers prepared the science fair for months, Eddie only notices now it's in a few days, is clueless to build something as expected by family tradition and hopes to use Evan's chicken pocks to either get sick too and be excused or infect Emory and steal a finished project, which both fail, yet yield a surprising alternative.
