Backing up a bit, we go into Eugene's childhood, and learn how, during a maths competition, he ended up having a bad day and letting his team down. His father was furious, but one of his professors took pity on him and gave him an object that fell out of the sky near him when he himself was having a bad day at golf. The object appears to be an eye with swirly... things inside. That night, Eugene's dad leaves his family.

As Eugene trails Gwen, who can't shake the feeling that there was something more to his death, he finds he may be able to subtly suggest her actions. He says "phone Gary", which she does, for example. Through Eugene's mobile pictures of [[TitleDrop random shoes]], she manages to track down Gary at the
place they both worked at. From there, she finds another coworker of his named Linda, who explained that Eugene was going to sell the eye to give Linda money to go on a trip to Australia. Things got interesting when the auction bid ballooned to over 15,000 pounds.
Working off that interest in the eye, Jack tells Gwen that it could be a Dogon Sixth Eye, which there's a market in. Tracking down Gary, Gwen learns from him that he actually inflated the bid himself, at first. Then, when the bid jumped to 15,000, they knew someone else was involved. A few clues and suggestions later led to a restaurant and Eugene's friends, who sniped the 15,000 bid, admitted to the gag, and then revealed that the [[CollectorOfTheStrange original big bidder]], who is just a regular human, could be coerced into much more. After learning that aliens are not behind it at all, Eugene flips out, swallows the eye -- which, it seems, caused his ghostiness -- and runs off from his friends, which is when he gets accidentally run over.
