Complete story — includes the ending

Oscar and Buster confess that each has been trying to spend time with the other under false pretences. Oscar runs away when Buster tries to make him give up marijuana. George Sr. and Lucille meet the Chinese investors and tell them that their money is gone due to an accidental purchase of land owned by the Mexican Romney family. In exchange for their honesty, they receive $3 million which Dusty tells them is a loan to help them save face. Michael finds this money, laundered as coming from the banana stand, which he uses to buy Fakeblock thinking that it will rekindle his son's interest in the company. When it does the opposite, Gob arrives with Buster who is promptly re-arrested on suspicion of having dumped a body into the ocean.
