While Billy prepares the next worm in his kitchen, Emily walks in and announces that he and his mom got a letter. Billy reads a note from Dr. McGrath that says he has learned that common earthworms sometimes secrete a substance that can cause double vision, paralysis, and death.

Mr. Forrester comes home, reads the letter, notices the many typos and bad spelling, and notes to his son that it’s a forgery. 

Billy’s father points out that “fulmar” isn’t a body region but a seabird. Tom asks him if Joe and Alan can be arrested for committing mail fraud.
