While ironing out the details of her upcoming conception Erica becomes a bit uncomfortable, mostly because the matter is being discussed before the entire group. To make matters worse, both Todd and Melissa are acting totally wacko about the whole ordeal.

To aid in his producing a sizable amount of “product,” Tandy and Carol create a “masturbatorium” for Todd to do his business in. With Tandy on standby for support, Todd gets to work.

Melissa, trying to spend some quality time with Erica, suggests they go to the mall and do silly things like make candles and wear huge neck ties. Erica, completely disinterested, turns down the offer to get some things done around the house.

While testing the quality of canned food, Gail accidentally sprays Carol with a truly foul looking brown substance. Disgusted, Carol decides to give up and just go pick some fruit. In a way only she could, Carol, wearing a helmet, backs into an orange tree with a pick up so the produce would fall directly into the truck bed. After getting out of the vehicle to swing a broom at the lower lying branches, Carol finds something shocking on the ground nearby.

Todd, after a little time in the “masturbatorium,” allows Tandy to deliver the goods to Erica. Acting like James Bond, he races to Erica’s bedroom, only to be intercepted by Gail, ruining all his fun.

That night at dinner the situation between Erica and the duo of Todd and Melissa gets really awkward. With Todd judging her for drinking wine and Melissa, wearing a giant neck tie, reading a poem she wrote, Erica looks as if she’s seconds away from hiding under the table.

Just in time, Carol walks in with a brown paper bag and news to share. In the bag, she claims, is a fresh human bowel movement she found by the orange tree. While Tandy denies it’s his and Carol is worried of someone being out there, the rest of the gang believes it to be Jasper’s as he is still living on his own out there under the bridge.

A few weeks later Todd is caught snooping around Erica’s bathroom for proof of whether or not she is pregnant yet. To get him out of her hair she promises to take a pregnancy test right away.

Unconvinced what she found was Jasper’s feces, Carol booby traps the entrances of the house with wind chimes for her peace of mind. Gail, going along with it, says it reminds her of being in “a freakin’ Rainforest Cafe.”

After getting a negative result, Erica shrugs it off and wishes for better luck next time. Blaming it on her not acting like she really wanted to get pregnant, Todd blows up at Erica. Seeing how he reacted to this bad news, Erica starts having second thoughts on the whole arrangement. Later, a much more normal Melissa goes to see how Erica is doing, having heard the test results. Explaining that her weird actions stem from never having close girl friends in the past, Erica is relieved to hear how grateful Melissa is that she’d even consider doing this for Todd.

Meanwhile, Jasper is keeping warm by a fire and hears a something in the distance getting closer. Soon enough Jasper is approached by an unseen character who parks what appears to be some kind of military vehicle on the bridge under which he lives, and he asks them who they are.

Waking up in the night to wind chimes, Carol makes Tandy go check out what made the noise. Finding a door open but no one around, he just closes it and goes back to bed. The next morning while brushing his teeth Tandy discovers that half the hair on his head has been shaved off. His brother Mike has struck again.
