Living in a tent in his Mom's front yard is pushing Jeremy's denial about his current situation to the breaking point. He's been getting by just fine without plumbing or food but when his gaming equipment is put in jeopardy, it's time to take action. After briefly considering a career as a panhandler, Jeremy sees a career counselor who does her best to inspire him. Completely unimpressed with her efforts, Jeremy relies on his sick skills to guide him to employment. October tries to help Jeremy while she deals with online betrayal at the hands of her MMO guild mates. Kyle, as usual, is a pain in the ass.

Now gainfully employed and back paying rent in his Mom's basement, Jeremy feels conquering real world challenges is easy. That is, until Kyle points out that he has never even had a girlfriend.

With no distraction or escape from reality, Jeremy and Doug find themselves gravitating towards increasingly destructive pastimes. It culminates in a serious clash with authority involving feces.
