Synopsis
Willy decides to experience more of normal life by running for student council. But his rival, Buzz, tries to trip him up by accusing Willy of being incapable of representing the "common man" because of his privileged background. Determined to prove Buzz wrong Willy offers to hold a candidates party at his house.
Meanwhile, events at the Zilla mansion are even weirder than usual: Mosh is inexplicably depressed, leading Crystal to hire a flakey "pet psychic" to go to bizarre lengths to find a "cure" for his emotional malaise. Naturally, the psychic shows up just in time for Willy's candidate's party, causing pandemonium to erupt.
Things get so out of hand that Willy is forced to rescue some of his classmates, and he figures he's lost the election. Willy's classmates are so impressed with his grace under pressure that they elect him to council.
