Teams must build a Lego sculpture based on extraterrestrial aliens, strong enough to support itself and be carried around, but then must be able to be easily broken apart and in a spectacular fashion when smashed by various means (dropped from a height, smashed with a bat, or exploded by a compressed air blast within it). Jessie and Kara were eliminated due to their build falling apart before the explosion. Guest starring Mayim Bialik. Starting that week, the last place build is going home. | |||||
