The episode of 3rd Rock from the Sun season 4 episode 15 is titled "The House That Dick Built." In this episode, the Solomons' landlord informs them that their house is being put up for sale and they have 30 days to vacate. Dick, being the self-proclaimed leader of the group, decides that the best course of action is for them to pool their resources and attempt to buy the house themselves.
At first, the other Solomons are hesitant about Dick's plan, but he is able to convince them to go along with it by appealing to their emotions. Tommy is excited about the prospect of having a permanent home, Sally is thrilled at the idea of decorating her very own room, and Harry is just happy to be part of a group effort.
As they start to gather the money required to buy the house, they encounter several roadblocks. They have to figure out a way to come up with a down payment, and they have to compete with other interested buyers who are offering more money than they have.
Throughout the episode, the Solomons work together to overcome these obstacles. They hold a car wash to raise funds, Sally participates in a beauty pageant to win the prize money, and they even apply for a loan from a shady lender.
But just when it seems like they might be able to pull it off, they hit a major setback. The bank that was going to approve their loan sees through their disguises and realizes that they are aliens. The Solomons are devastated, but they refuse to give up.
In the end, they come up with a creative solution that allows them to buy the house and continue living together as a family. Despite the challenges they faced, they are able to celebrate their victory and enjoy their new home.
Overall, "The House That Dick Built" is a heartwarming episode that showcases the Solomons' dedication to each other and their determination to overcome any obstacle. It is a testament to the power of family, even if that family is made up of extraterrestrial beings.
