Complete story — includes the ending
After learning that Dewey will be leaving their class, the Buseys run away and hide in the trees near his house, forcing Dewey to look after their needs. The unemployed Hal becomes the leader of a group of dimwitted bodybuilders by teaching them basic life skills, and they do favors for him in return. Dewey discovers that Lois treats him kindly as long as he stays out of trouble. Malcolm and Reese suspect that the special treatment means Dewey is informing on them, so they try to entrap him, but they are punished even more when Lois overhears their plans. Ultimately, the bodybuilders accidentally find the Buseys, and Dewey takes pity on the Buseys by faking a tantrum to ensure he stays in the special-needs class.
