When Lucy finds out, she pays him even more to bring them all back again, by which time Mel has warmed to Dennis and agrees to keep him.

The children insist that they let them free, and everyone realizes that it is time to move on. Josh, Mel, Lucy, Harry and CJ all move to Canada with the real Brian and Sophie Johnson, and the aliens appear to go back home to Valux; however, Brian presses the big red button that caused the pair to crash-land on Earth in the first place, setting the stage for series 8.

Special guests: Barbara Durkin returning as Aunt Sophie and Danielle McCormack as Mel. Barbara Durkin played Sophie Johnson in series one and two of My Parents Are Aliens.

NOTE: This episode was repeated part of the CITV Channel's ALIENS GOLD weekend shortly before the final series had begun and the weekend before the first episode of the eighth series.

N.B: This episode has continuity errors. It states that Brian and Sophie took the image of the Barker children's parents. However, in the episode, Aliens Go Home (Episode 8 of Series 3), a flashback shows Brian taking the image of the, later stated, "Uncle Brian", but from a fashion magazine. Another error is that Barbara Durkin was not the actress who played Sophie in the flashback episode. The reasons for these errors have not been confirmed.
