Tommy, tired of having to handle all of the "kid" duties [when in reality he's the oldest member of the mission], decides to retire.

Responding to a three-year-old request from Sally that she be given a male body, the Big Giant Head switches Sally's body with Dick's. Each of them has to cope with all the thorny details of gender reassignment, including such specifics as how to deal with men's catcalls, and where to find cute shoes in Dick's size.

They (especially Sally, who resents her command being usurped) initially reject Mary's offers of help in finding Dick... until they realize she knows a lot more about the outdoors than they do.

Dick's faculty nemesis, Dr. Vincent Strudwick, writes a physics book that's hailed as a work of genius.

Enter the off-kilter Dr. Neesam, who she thinks is kind of charming.
