Something's afoot in Pleasantville but Jake can't seem to concentrate long enough to think about it.
All of a sudden there are reports of strange spectral lights emanating from some of the old military buildings. Birds seem to lose their bearings as they fly overhead. And a new fence has been erected, closing off one of the old buildings.
Mal's Area 51 fascination kicks and he can't help but start poking around. Of course Jake's inability to concentrate means he isn't of much help.
Not long after he starts poking around Mal finds that strange things are underway in the old American buildings, but he can't quite put a finger anything.
Fortunately, Mal is able to talk Des into signing up with the Canadian Forces and then take a fast-track assignment back to Pleasantville.
Des, with Mal's guidance, find that the military has been funding a secret program designed to telepathically distract targets. Because of his general ability to muddle in areas that are none of his business, Jake has been chosen as the program's first test target.
By making their investigative findings public Mal and Des not only cause a major scandal, but bring about the fall of the Canadian government and the cancellation of the program. Unfortunately, they also have to deal with a newly mentally unimpeded Jake.
