Plot Synopsis
Edit
Edit
J-Roc, T and Detroit Velvet Smooth plan an operation to sell Ricky's dope to Snoop Dogg's promoter during a concert in town. Ricky has sent Cory and Trevor to steal a truck to haul it, but they grabbed a propane truck so it's a problem.
Act One
Edit
The boys prepare to empty the truck of propape, and a minor distraction at Jim Lahey's lot allows them to move the vehicle. Afterward, Barb visits Lahey in their tent trailer to ask him if he still has his old engagement ring.
Ricky's upset that his dad won't drive truck for him today, as he is concerned about getting caught scamming disability, so instead Ricky will steal Ray's plates for the propane truck and get Bubbles to drive instead. Barb asks Julian to live rent-free in the park after they buy the park and says that she is making a secret announcement soon. Bubbles suspects that Barb and Ricky might be seeing each other.
Lahey wants to 'break up' with Randy and propose to Barb, as he thinks she is hinting at getting back together. Randy isn't interested in going back to being a side-interest with Jim.
Act Two
Edit
Bubbles takes a truck-driving test, but unfortunately fails, due to his bad vision. Lahey primps himself for Barb, and Randy sulks. Lahey tells the camera his motivations for re-marrying Barb -- he is hoping for more power in order to quash Ricky.
Bubbles damns his eyes, and Ricky lies to Julian about Bubbles failing. Drunk, Lahey proposes to Barb, and she tells him she is planning to marry Ricky instead and gives him two weeks notice, asking him to leave the park.
Ricky tests the dope and it's ready to go, the best crop he's ever grown. Lahey tells Randy they were just fired, but Randy tells him off and heads off in his Smokie outfit. Barb proposes to Ricky and being very high, Ricky accepts.
Bubbles and Julian sell off the stolen propane, and Ricky crashes the shitmobile onto the scene. He discovers his brake line has been cut. Sarah shows up announcing that she is marrying Cory and Trevor. Cory spills the beans to everyone about Barb proposing to Ricky.
Act Three
Edit
Bubbles and Julian confront Ricky about Barb and he seems confused. Julian gives him a reality check and suggests he put Barb off. Ricky leaves to think it over but gets a net thrown over him by an unknown assailant. Lahey arrives trying to buy propane, and is falling over himself, wasted, cursing Ricky.
Julian spots a police helicopter flying around and starts to worry. While barbequing, Ricky gets mildly electrocuted by the grill -- he suspects someone is trying to kill him.
Later that night, Julian and Bubbles hear on the news that police have found one of their pot fields, and realize that the heat is on. They must harvest the rest before it's discovered. Going to get Ricky who is in Barb's trailer, it explodes and catches on fire. To be continued...
References
Edit
In the opener, J-Roc gets excited about 20 grand and shouts "Bammm," which he is promptly told to lose because its whack. This terrible shout is later used by Philadelphia Collins and his sons.
Lahey shows he is not only a decent seamstress, but can tie a full-windsor knot (during the shit-waves rant below).
Rickyisms
Edit
"Basically, it's peaches and cake..." (piece of cake)
Ricky calls the rapper 'Snoopy-dog'.
"What Julian doesn't know won't burn him."
"Did you just ask me if I wanna get married by you?"
"It's not everyday someone asks you to get married against 'em..."
"Man he passed with flying-fuckin'-carpets."
Lahey's Shit Talk
Edit
Lahey calls the boys 'shit-niks'.
"You know, he grew up as a little shit-spark from the old shit-flint. And then he turned into a shit-bonfire and then driven by the winds of his monumental ignorance, he turned into a raging shit-firestorm. If I get to be married to Barb I'll have total control of Sunnyvale, and then I can unleash a shitnami tidal wave that'll engulf Ricky and extinguish his shit-flames forever. And with any luck, he'll drown in the undershit of that wave. Shit-waves."
