Once there, she encounters an alien boy by the name of J-5 who begs her to take him with her family when they go. He says that if they leave him behind he will be eaten by a Zaybo. Penny asks what a Zaybo is, and a lion suddenly appears nearby. Frightened, Penny runs to her father for help. In reality, the Zaybo is J-5's shape-shifting pet created from his mind, but he keeps that a secret from Penny and the others. Penny finds her father and tells him about how J-5 saved her from the lion. All three then hurry back to the Jupiter 2 and the ship takes off for outer space. Everyone likes J-5, especially Penny. Will feels a little jealous of all the attention the new boy is getting, and scoffs at some of the stories J-5 tells. J-5 decides to teach Will a lesson by scaring him with the Zaybo, but when the Robinsons promise to take J-5 back to his own planet, he changes his mind and puts the Zaybo away. The Jupiter 2 develops some mechanical trouble and must land to make some repairs. Luckily, a space lightship is nearby, so they stop there. John gets out to take a look around, and finds the place to be rather messy, but safe. He is greeted by a very friendly man named Colonel Fogey. Since Fogey has not seen any other human beings in over a decade, he is thrilled to meet the Robinsons. Colonel Fogey prepares a banquet for them and everyone has a lovely time. Fogey says he can give the Jupiter 2 enough fuel to get back home to Earth which makes everyone very happy. However, it seems they don’t have enough fuel to stop over at J-5's planet. J-5 is angry and heartbroken and runs away to plot his revenge. Penny tries her best to comfort him, and she eventually convinces him to come back down to dinner. J-5 secretly tells the Zaybo to start making mischief. A few moments later, alarm bells start to go off. Everyone rushes to see what the matter is except for Dr. Smith, who stays behind to drink. The Zaybo, disguised as a pretty lady appears and tries to tempt Smith into going to J-5's planet. J-5 then tries to trick Smith and Penny into helping him steal the Jupiter 2. In the control room of the lightship Colonel Fogey has started to cry, confessing to the Robinsons that he isn’t really a colonel at all; he’s just the caretaker. He doesn’t know how to work any of the computers and he is very upset about it. He also admits he doesn’t actually have the fuel he promised the Robinsons. He only said he did because he wanted to impress them and hoped they would stay longer to keep him company. Will leaves the bridge looking for Penny and ends up encountering the Zaybo in lion form again. He is frightened, and Penny rushes to the rescue. Afterwards, Penny tells J-5 that she has figured out that he controls the Zaybo and has the power to make people imagine things. J-5 apologizes, saying he only did those things because he’s been so lonely. In the end, J-5 decides to stay behind on the lightship with Colonel Fogey. That way they can help one another and neither of them will be lonely. The Jupiter 2 departs, getting back on its course for Earth. It seems to be a happy ending, but Penny realizes that she will miss J-5 very much.
