Tracey just hates camping but she has to go in their school trip in the great outdoors. everyone else is enjoying except for her. She just had a great idea on inventing an Alien Transmitter. But when she heard some voices, she thought it was aliens and everyone else are laughing at her. Do you really think that there are aliens?

Shamus is picked to join this year's quiz bee. Tracey said it would be a breeze, but not as quite as she thought. Shamus' friend, Harvey, is also joining the quiz bee. And also, Tracey made up a brain machine so Shamus can easily memorize the things he needs to know. Too bad the brain machine didn't go as quite as Tracey thought it would.

It's the holidays, and how come the holidays come, it starts to rain? That's what Tracey thought. It had been two weeks and it was still raining.

And also, Jim told the duo a story about the lake monster. Tracey made up a replicant of a submarine to get their plane back and they just found out there was also a monster in the lake too.

The homework hound is on attack and whatever Tracey and everyone else do, they always get attacked by the hound. Then, the next day, their homework would be piled up in front of the school gate. She had to find out about that hound. While she was completing her invention with Shamus, Megan, her little pesky sister, wants to know how that thing works. Tracey and Shamus made up something that would scare her away. But instead it made her curious. So, Megan wants something to be invisible, Tracey is going to make her invisible. But she couldn't really make her invisible. While Megan was in the stage of being invisible, she also found out that the homework hound, was really Claw, Jim and Jake's dog.

Tracey is going to join this year's kite festival but the only problem is that she just had to invent the perfect kite. Too bad she's stuck with chores and homework.

So, Tracey decided to make her own robot family. The kite festival is just about to arrive and the two Traceys just made up the same kite. The two of them were flew up in the air and the McBeans and the robots just had to work together to get them back on the ground. But in the end, it was just one McBean family is enough.

When Mrs. Carmody took the class to a field trip to the farm, Tracey just got bored until she saw a horse. She knew it had a pretty good name, only it was Tinkle. She asked her parents if she could have a horse, they didn't said no, but rather, they tried to let her know the responsibilities to taking care of a horse. It was really hard but just as she was about to give up, instead, she had a great idea. She'll make her very own horse. But this also makes Megan in love with the mechanical horse. Also, this sends Tracey's little sister into the rapids of the river.

So, to prove that Tracey is good enough for the club, she's going to invent the Gordon Get Ready Bed, which would also solve her big brother's problem.

Tracey is just waiting for Shamus so they could finish their flying machine for their science project. Shamus just bought a new skateboard that almost took his allowance. When they made up some minor mistakes on the plane, Shamus' new board just broke. Tracey wanted to fix up the board and just trying to take it away from Shamus, it just broke into pieces. Also, Tracey had to get new wheels for her flying machine. She could find anything else that was perfect except for Shamus' wheels. She used it without asking Shamus and this started the argument. But afterwards, it really started to bore Tracey to invent by herself.

It's class piture day and Tracey wants to look her best. Shamus was on a holiday vacation and he just came back in time for the class picture. When Shamus was just about to join the class, Jim and Jake noticed that Shamus had freckles. This made Shamus desperate but Tracey tried everything to cheer him up. She even tried to up make-up on Shamus. Finally, it was time to invent away to get rid of those freckles. She invents a machine that would spin off the freckles.
