Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Lizzie (Hilary Duff) is obliged to accept a "geeky" gift from her grandma, a role-playing game called "Dwarflord: The Conquest." Although Lizzie finds the game's rules too confusing, Gordo (Adam Lamberg) takes to "Dwarflord" like a duck to water -- so much so that he becomes obsessed with the game, to the exclusion of everyone else. Lizzie and Miranda (Lalaine) take it upon themselves to overpower Gordo and "de-program" him before it's too late. Meanwhile, Lizzie's dad, Sam (Robert Carradine), volunteers to help son Matt (Jake Thomas) with a wildlife project. This episode features a montage of earlier series highlights, set to the music of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony -- which may or may not be an homage to A Clockwork Orange!
