Plot summary
Earl reunites with Frank, an old friend and now fellow inmate. The episode flashes back to when Earl and Randy left their parents' home and looked for a place to live, eventually renting the kitchen space in Frank's trailer. After Patty's client shows off a fancy watch, Earl and Randy go to steal it, only to find that Frank and his housemate Paco are also after it. The four agree to split the proceeds, and then plan a larger-scale robbery of an Indian casino with guns. Meanwhile, Joy, who had become visibly pregnant with her first child, had also been looking for a place to stay as well as a sugar daddy, considering local celebrity TV's Tim Stack.
She later gets Earl drunk and they go to Las Vegas for a shotgun wedding, while Randy is distracted from a cartoon marathon. Catalina, who was prompted by Paco, arrives in Camden County and meets Darnell who had just gotten out of the FBI van to begin his new identity under the witness protection program. Frank and Paco have a successful robbery, using Howie Mandel as a hostage, but Paco gets distracted from seeing Catalina on the road and crashes into the FBI van. With Frank headed to prison, Earl, Joy, and Randy end up living at his trailer and use his El Camino.
