The boys open a massage parlour in the park under the watchful eye of Lahey and Randy.
Plot Synopsis
Bubbles and Ricky are watching a documentary about the Sasquatch. Julian wraps himself in a rug against the cold and goes to visit Bubbles. Ricky and Bubbles mistake him for the Sasquatch and attack him with baseball bats. Julian grabs a bat and defends himself, and all three are injured in the ensuing brawl.
Act One
The next morning, they bandage their wounds with duct tape and eat cereal. Julian says they are going to steal him some furniture since he doesn't have any now. Barb Lahey arrives and asks Ricky why the park has received an order form for an expensive wrestling ring. She tells Ricky that the order has been cancelled and demands he perform some repairs in the park. She also tells the Boys that she wants a cash deposit if they are serious about buying the park.
Jim Lahey and Randy break into Ricky's trailer looking for clues and find a map, half of which Trinity confiscates when she discovers them there. Meanwhile, Bubbles and Ricky steal hardware supplies from Jacob's store, spotting Cyrus' car and vandalizing it on their way back. Next, they walk into a government building posing as movers and remove a carload of furniture. Ricky thinks opening a used furniture store would be a good idea, but Julian has a brainstorm based on something Bubbles had said, and decides to open a massage parlour.
Act Two
Julian works out a deal with J-Roc and Detroit Velvet Smooth (who is now J-Roc and T's manager) to get some girls in to do massages. DVS tells J-Roc things like this are great promotion for his rap career, especially if he gets arrested in the process.
Ricky comes back to his trailer and chews out Cory and Trevor for letting Lahey into it. Sarah is there, and chews him out for yelling at them. She allows them to work for him for the afternoon if Ricky pays her $20. Ricky tells them to steal a garbage truck from the local dump.
Barb tells Jim that she has to sell the park because she's broke, and that the Boys want to buy it. The Boys take the garbage truck Cory and Trevor stole to a hotel and Ricky books a room. They proceed to strip the room bare and load the contents into the back of the truck. They are discovered by the hotel manager and Ricky pretends the room was empty when they got there and they leave, feigning outrage.
The massage girls arrive at the park, the Boys and the Roc-Pile begin to set up the operation, and the whole thing is secretly monitored by Lahey and Randy. Cory and Trevor accidentally crush the furniture in the back of the garbage truck and Ricky orders them to fix all the items. As the operation proceeds, they have more patrons than they have girls, and Julian orders more from DVS, and also sends Cory and Trevor to fill in until they get there.
The second wave of girls arrive in Cyrus' car, as he is their 'boss', and this sets the situation into tension mode.
Act Three
Cyrus blames the Boys for spray painting his car. Sarah discovers Cory and Trevor delivering massages and gets angry. A shouting match begins, but Cyrus takes over by shooting off his gun. He demands money from Julian for his ladies. DVS and T convince J-Roc that now is the time to prepare to make his move, as the cops are sure to come. Randy, watching everything with Lahey, decides he has to step in and subdue Cyrus. He beats up Cyrus easily and sends him away in his car. The cops arrive and J-Roc gets arrested by falsely confessing to pimping and being high on crack, while DVS snaps photos.
Back at the trailer, the boys discover they lost the proceeds from their massage parlour. Ricky suggests they order food with what little money they have.

Rickyisms
- Ricky: "Are you watching this documentary on 'saskatchewans'?"
- Bubbles: "It's samsquamch, Ricky, and there's one right outside my fuckin' door right now!'
"Exactly. Get two birds stoned at once."
Lahey's Shit Talk
In this episode, Randy makes a crack about the boys going out for 'shit-dogs and fries' but Lahey cuts him off since they shouldn't shit-talk while they aren't acting as supervisors.
