After many failed attempts when he was younger, Sam now believes he is mature enough to have a pet, more specifically a dog. Dana refuses. Later, Sam finds among the items in Jack's warehouse an old weather-vane, this type which Jack calls a weirdlyworks. Jack truly believes it has magical powers - it can predict back luck or good luck - and thus is happy for Sam to take it away. Sam also believes in the weirdlyworks' powers, as its predictions of bad or good luck seem to be coming true, most specifically for "good luck" Nick, and "bad luck" John. But Sam is particularly convinced when the weirdlyworks points him toward finding a seemingly abandoned dog, which Sam names Skeletor. Dana initially allows Sam to keep Skeletor overnight, a decision which she soon regrets as beyond Sam, Skeletor seems to have it in for everyone else. Although Dana seems to be softening to the idea of keeping Skeletor if only because Sam truly is taking care of him, the decision on Skeletor's future may be placed into someone else's hands.
