* FaultyTowersPlot: Remy didn't learn anything that week to tell his parents, so with the Greens' help, he makes up a story about him learning to build a fence. But as the Remingtons keep asking him questions that throw Remy off, the Greens try to help from the sidelines, but Remy keeps misinterpreting the clues, until he comes up with a story about defending the farm from a giant wolf. This freaks out the Remingtons so much they consider bringing him back home before Remy confesses that he made it all up.
