She desperately needs Scrub\u2019s help with disguising the tourists as humans. As if that weren\u2019t difficult enough, the town sheriff is already suspicious of Granny.

And when it comes to aliens, <em>every<\/em> move seems wrong . . . <\/p>\n<p><strong>Snippet:<\/strong> A sheriff&#8217;s car cruised down the street, and the driver stared at me as he passed.
