Marty wakes to a naked chick beside him. Clyde wakes in his C-PAP. Jeannie wakes and tires to rub one out but can’t. Sarah wakes Doug and tells him to f- her because he’s ovulating. She’s got two of his Star Wars action figures vintage in box and he freaks out that she’s handling them. Roscoe tells Marty he could hear him having sex all night. Jeremiah offers him breakfast but he declines. He asks if Marty will watch Uncle Malcolm’s debut and Marty says he’s not watching Malcolm take a big poopy.
Marty says he’s going to Seattle and they don’t have TV there. Sarah tries to talk Doug into boinking her. He tells her to leave his collectibles alone and not touch his stuff. She offers to be bad teacher and says she’s feeling very mean. He says he was very bad in biology. He asks how he could get his grades “up.” Marty has breakfast with Denna when she’s going to rape and pillage his company but she says she’ll stick to raping and pillaging his body.
He asks why Global wouldn’t want his company. She says his company is teensy, unlike his junk. She says she’d maybe take a whole lump of management consultancies in a lump. Clyde chats up Kelsey but she doesn’t remember his name. She says she has a no-asshole dating policy. He tells her she’s not in his arousal template and she walks off. Jeannie wants to talk brand analysis for Krolls so they don’t walk in blind.
Marty says he’s got this and Jeannie asks him to share. Clyde says when mommy and daddy fight it hurts his no-no place. Marty runs over his plan and Jeannie is annoyed that he doesn’t want her input on this. Marty says they just need to show they can convert them to rock star status. Clyde and Doug get into a pissing match over who gets to sit Marty shotgun. At the meeting in Seattle, Marty proposes media tie ins to make it an entertainment brand.
Jeannie says or they can sell to a huge company and just enjoy being grandparents. She says Marty’s plan will cost them $80 million. They’re very interested in Jeannie running point. Marty is really pissed off and says they’ll be back tomorrow. They all go out for drinks and Doug is sucking down absinthe. Doug quotes Oscar Wilde on absinthe. They see Malcolm on the TV and turn it on. He’s talking about the black experience in white America with Megan McCain.
He brings up Marty being in prison because of a kangaroo court. Marty chugs the rest of the absinthe and they order another round. Jeannie watches from across the room then leaves after sending a text. Doug starts telling them about Sarah trying to get pregnant and tormenting his action figures. He says he thinks she might murder him in his sleep. They agree that she might. Doug says she has a history of nude stalking.
He says she was arrested in the yard of an ex-BF and spent time in UCLA’s psych ward. Clyde says he just came a little bit. They tell Doug he needs to confront her but say he can’t since he’s too passive aggressive. He says he’s going to text her and they tell him that’s the definition of passive aggressive. Clyde says not to text her. Doug says he has to watch out for Doug. He shouts out that his wife is cray and someone yells out word. They read what he texted – you’re a crazy “country.” Auto correct took out the slur.
He panics a little after he sent it and he asks for more alcohol. He asks if you can unsend. Next morning, they are all in bad shape except for Jeannie. Marty curses as they head in. The Krolls say that they can’t work with a company that’s in conflict with itself. They try to reason with them but they can’t. Sarah has torn open Doug’s action figures and is playing with them talking about what a jerk Doug is.
Clyde tries to talk to Kelsey again. She apologies for being rude to him and he says he doesn’t think he was trying to hit on her. She asks what his company does and says she has an idea for an app but no one will listen. He asks about it and she says it’s like Uber for doctors. He says it’s brilliant and he asks if she can write the code and says he can calculate the price point. She says she already wrote it. Doug comes and says his ATM and credit cards aren’t working.
Clyde says maybe his wife cut off his money. He reminds him that he sent his wife a text that she likely didn’t like. Doug forgot in the absinthe haze. He checks his phone, panics and runs out. Jeannie asks if this is when Marty chews her out for blowing the deal. He says he doesn’t see the point in making a big deal since she’s leaving anyway. She asks if that’s it and he asks her to not do it again. She says she can’t believe this is it since she told him she’s carrying his child.
She walks out. He comes home and asks Roscoe about school. Chantelle is putting dinner on the table and Malcolm is there too. Malcolm asks if he saw the shout out he gave him. Marty says it will help his business so much now that he told people who didn’t know that he’s been in prison. Malcolm says he didn’t have to take the fall for his baby mama Jeannie. That ends the small talk. Marty asks Jeremiah why he told him and he says he’s his brother.
Roscoe calls his dad a narcissist for not telling him and Marty says he’s was waiting for the right time. Roscoe then tells Malcolm he’s a crappy uncle. Then he lights into Jeremiah too. He says they’re all f-ing cowards. He goes to leave but Jeremiah tells him to sit down. He says he can’t take his family down like that. He says they’ve all been through tough times and sometimes family is a f-ing disaster but you go through it together. He tells Roscoe to never tell him to shut up again.
Roscoe says yes sir then leaves the table again and doesn’t come back again. Marty says to let him go. Marty glares at Malcolm. Doug comes home shouting for Sarah and is horrified to see all his collectibles torn out of their boxes. Many of them are in gay sex positions. The house is otherwise empty of furniture. She only left the toys and their crushed boxes. Marty sits down by his dad who puts his arm around him. Marty snuggles close. Doug ears cookies for dinner amid the rubble of his life. Sarah lurks naked in the yard.
