Plot summary
Reese, as soon as he parachutes into Afghanistan, panics and deserts the Army. He hides as a local Muslim woman but accidentally gets married. Winding up alone and dehydrated in the desert, he hallucinates the mascot "Mr. Waffles" giving him a motivational speech, then uses various means of transportation to wander the Middle East. Lois, having recovered from her mental breakdown, receives Reese's file from Sergeant Hendrix after impressing him with her methods of punishing children, then travels to Kabul, selling the family car to afford the trip and hiring locals to help find her son. She ultimately finds him in a small town in India. Malcolm volunteers at a veterans' hospital to alleviate his guilt of making Reese leave but accidentally causes a fight among the elderly veterans. Reese reunites with his brothers as they play a prank on rapping grandmothers.
