Buster's obsession with [=UFOs=] leads to him getting a telescope to find them. Instead, he discovers a comet which he finds is going to hit the Earth.
----
* ChekhovsGun: A small piece of the telescope is overlooked by Buster and falls out of the treehouse when he's putting it together. Fern finds it and they determine that this missing component was giving them false readings about the comet.
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: After finding and tracking the comet, Buster's computer calculates that it will hit the Earth in just over a month. He's not comforted at all when his mom tells him what will happen if a comet were to hit the planet.




to:

* MassOhCrap: The Brain double-checks Buster's findings, and concludes that he was right about the comet. All of the kids immediately begin panicking.
* SherlockScan: Fern buys a book about detective work to help her become more observant. She determines that Arthur overslept his alarm clock one morning because he didn't brush his teeth and his socks don't match.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Buster gets a telescope to prove that [=UFOs=] are real, but becomes impatient, thinking anything he finds is one. Even if they were real, stargazing is a very slow hobby of careful observation.
* YouHaveToBelieveMe: Buster tries warning everyone about the comet. Fern lampshades this by that telling Arthur, according to her detective book, Buster has "lost his cookies."
