* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: When Java says "lonely", Martin and Diana (who suspect he's lonely from being the only caveman) sympathize with him. He points out "Not Java, ''town'' lonely". Our step-siblings believe Java's in denial of how lonely he is.

Martin, Diana, and Java investigate a small western town in Utah whose entire population seems to have disappeared overnight. Suddenly, the people return to the town, but they all seem a little different.
