Plot Synopsis
Edit
Edit
Ricky drives a front end loader into the park while Jim Lahey and Randy get dressed up into their best clothes. Jim has high hopes that today is going to be the day that things turn around for him.
Act One
Edit
Ricky talks about today being Community Day, which is a mini party to raise funds for the park downpayment and to make Bubbles happy. Julian wants Ricky to work for him, and says he is way too concerned with Community Day and needs to focus on the pot operation.
Barb Lahey brings a letter to Jim which says he's won a trailer park supervisor award. She says it's nonsense. He tells her it's genuine and wants her to pretend he is still the supervisor so he can accept the award, and she reluctantly agrees.
Barb gives Ricky the day off as a reward for his hard work, and Ricky takes Bubbles to see his surprise: a homemade wrestling ring. He is excited and goes to put on his Green Bastard wrestling costume.
The award presenters arrive, headed by Bernie Sanford, and meet with Jim and Barb; they start their tour and talk about Ricky as the biggest problem in the park, 'thinking he is the supervisor' all the time. Community Day is underway and Bubbles is ready to wrestle. Lahey and company show up on the scene.
Act Two
Edit
Ricky approaches the group and faces off with Lahey and Sanford. Ricky wants them to move their cars, and Barb pulls Julian aside and lets him in on what's going on. When no cars get moved, Ricky pisses on Sanford's car. Sanford pulls him aside and threatens him with violence, then leaves.
Lahey orders food for his group, and Julian tells Ricky what's going on but Ricky doesn't want to go along with it. Julian says for him to be careful because they need to buy the park and harvest the dope for the downpayment. Ricky calms down and sends Cory and Trevor out to promote a 'wrestle the park supervisors' event to raise money.
Later, Trevor and Jacob wrestle as the first event and Lahey's food arrives, paid for, so Ricky takes it. Lahey's group return to the scene and Sanford wants to fight him if he doesn't step down. To settle it, Julian says they should wrestle for control of the park.
Act Three
Edit
With Sanford refereeing, Randy wrestles Ricky with Bubbles and Jim as tag partners. Bernie gets knocked out by a wayward blow, and Jim secretly hands Randy a foreign object to pummel Ricky with. Bubbles intervenes when he sees this, but Sanford disqualifies them both for having too many bodies in the ring.
Sanford gives Lahey the trophy and they both rub it in Ricky's face. Julian and Bubbles try to calm Ricky down, but Bernie gives Lahey a new used Cadillac as an added prize and Ricky loses it. Bernie calls Ricky 'Reveen', so Ricky uses the front end loader to tip all their cars upside-down. His victory is short-lived, however, since when Lahey and Randy leave, they stake their claim to the supervisor's trailer.
Once they get there, Barb tells them the bank took her house and she will be living in the supervisor's trailer, not them. Lahey and Randy are relegated to a tent trailer instead. Bubbles wrestles into the night.

"Being the trailer park supervisor's been a fulfillment kinda reward."
"I know right now I'm supposed to swallow my prize but I'm fucking pissed off..."
Background
Edit
- This episode further explores how much happier people seem to be under Ricky's tenure as Trailer Park Supervisor, despite his poor decisions in park management. Of course, it should be noted that Ricky is caring for the park as cover for his dope growing operation, but nonetheless is still caring for the park. This is unlike Jim's tenure as Trailer Park Supervisor, which as of season two continues to go downhill in favour of his obsession of getting rid of Ricky and Julian, as well as his alcoholism.
- Barb Lahey suggests that the group gets "take away" for dinner.
- Bernie Sanford can be heard ranting about Ricky to several individuals which includes Randy when Lahey is ordering take out.
