Episode Title:
Independence Day / Opposites Attract.
Episode Description:
Independence Day: The Chipmunks become fed up with always having to do chores for Dave, and decide to move out on their own and live their own lives their own way. Wanting to build a tree house in the backyard, each of the boys design their own ideal dream tree house, much to Dave's concern, who feels that each of their ideas are far too dangerous, and will only encourage them to become reckless. Determined to prove to Dave that they are mature and independent enough to live on their own, the boys borrow a dog house from Cheesy and claim it as the new tree house they built. They intend to spend the night in the tree - without coming in for dinner or any other requests from Dave - to prove their point. When this backfires and the boys' fighting causes Dave to bring them back home, they spend two weeks believing Dave is mad at them and is going to punish them, only to learn that he had built a proper tree house for them all this time - combining each of their ideas and designs.
Opposites Attract: Dave is fed up with Alvin and Simon constantly fighting, and disciplines them for it, but another fight between them ruins Simon's latest scientific experiment: a ray that can magnetize anything it hits. After becoming accidentally magnetized to each other, and desperate to keep anyone from finding out what happened, Alvin and Simon pretend to be bonding with one another - even going so far as to put up a front that Alvin is protecting Simon from a pair of men who are after him. Meanwhile, Simon makes repeated attempts to meet with a pair of scientists to help them out of their situation, only to be scared away by Miss Smith, who presumes them to be the men who are looking to hurt Simon. Eventually, Alvin finds the missing part to Simon's invention in his bed, and Simon is able to fix it and separate them.
