When Theo states to Moey D that he should've come on the comeback tour with him, Moey D states that he could not because of his sciatica and that he is working overtime so that his daughter can get through med school. During Theo's performance, Moey D abruptly ends the act and brings out Bill Peachknee and his ventriloquist dummy Flappy who insults Theo's performance.

The Fixer does his closer by driving the tow truck into the quicksand as there's no other way.

Many moons ago at the Bakersfield Mall, everyone was doing their shopping and other types of Mall stuff. When a younger Stebe tries to propose to a girl named Brenda Cokono, she backs up enough for her pant leg to get caught on the escalator and then dragged under the escalator to a violent death. In the present, the Mayor of Bakersfield talks about how the bureaucrats at City Hall deprived Bakersfield of its one and only mall because it has since become haunted. Despite having a bad memory of what happened at the Bakersfield Mall and not wanting to be outside with the local gangs, Stebe enters the Bakersfield Mall to go to a Hibachi restaurant with Deb. At Stebe passes the Mayor's Place upon not wanting to go up the escalator, the Mayor of Bakersfield and Officer Smith are told by the mall's lead scientist Dr. Richards about the increase in paranormal activity and that they must close down the Bakersfield Mall or else they will be doomed. Theo enters the store As Seen on TV trying to return an Offspring CD that he purchased years ago as its elderly owner Warwick advises him to leave the Bakersfield Mall while he still can as it is not safe here while advising him not to take the escalator. At Hibachi Chachi's, Stebe catches up to Deb as a chef named Phil prepares their meal. Matt enters Build-a-Dillo and tells its owner that he is picking up an advanced order that he made. He goes to check on the Dillo for Matt. Soon the paranormal activity builds up as the patrons are each killed by the different mall items including the Build-a-Dillo owner (who found Matt's order), Dr. Richards, and Phil. When Theo runs back into As Seen on TV, Warwick states "It has begun". As the Mayor of Bakersfield is killed trying to get the patrons to continue shopping, Warwick states to Theo that he used to be the manager of Tower Records the day when a young girl was "eaten alive by the first floor escalator". Upon showing Theo a book he found on Spender's Gifts called So You Want to Learn About Witchcraft the day when Bakersfield Mall was closed, Warwick states that he once used it to cast a spell in Bakersfield Mall which ultimately opened a portal to the Netherworld allowing the ghost of the girl to be released. She has been haunting Bakersfield Mall ever since. While carrying his 'Dillo, Matt is chased by the massage chair. Stebe and Deb are attacked by the mannequins when they run into Virgina's Privates as Stebe grabs a fire axe in order to fight back. When Theo and Warwick catch up to Stebe, the Ghost of Brenda Cokono takes control over the first floor escalator to ensnare Deb. When Stebe states that killing her won't win him back, Brenda states that she barely knows him and they went out that one time. While trying to strike the escalator with the fire axe, Stebe mentions to Deb that there was a girl that came before Deb and that Brenda died in a proposal gone wrong. As Brenda uses the escalator to drag Deb closer to her doom, Stebe finally aplogizes for what happened to Brenda, admits that they barely know each other, and that Stebe really wanted to be in love. If Brenda wasn't mutilated by the escalator, Stebe wouldn't have met Deb who is the true love of his life. Brenda's ghost stops the attack on Deb and emerges from the escalator and does her unfinished business by turning down Stebe's proposal as her ghost becomes less frightful as she takes the escalator to Heaven. This undoes most of the paranormal rampages. Though Deb beheads Brenda's ghost with a fire axe stating "nobody turns down a marriage proposal from my husband". She then quotes to Stebe "happy anniversary". Warwick then gives Theo the refund that he had asked for. The Hornsby family then proceeds to head home.

After Matt mentions that he'll be missing the presentation, Stebe shows Rachel his very expensive Champagne La-Verrene which Theodore once set for him on his 8th day graduation with a note stating "Drink this when life can't get any better". Though they don't want Rachel opening the bottle until after her presentation saves Royal Crackers Incorporated. While watching "Kith or Kin" hosted by Dr. Chooch at her house with her pet hermit crab Francesca, Rachel is brought her Git Stuffed pasta burger delivery from her usual delivery man Dan. Before she can have her dinner, Rachel sees a signal on her television which she recognizes causing her to open a secret passageway that leads deep underground to an underground kingdom called Subterra. It is then revealed that Rachel is actually a small mushroom person as she meets with her mother Queen Vasha and her fellow mushroom people who operate the "Land Rovers" of General Gila, Senator Ziglot, Dr. Queequeg, and Patrick Mahomes. As Rachel's mother Queen Vasha wants no loose ends, Patrick mentions that he is in all the commercials, Dr. Queequeg is working on a formula which ran several trials that will enable the spores to flourish when a midi version of Aqua's "Barbie Girl" programmed into the VALU-TOYZ Portable Karaoke Machines is played, and Rachel claiming that she is doing alright at Royal Crackers Incorporated which Dr. Queequeg doubts while claiming that Rachel won't have sex with him. After dismissing her core operatives, Queen Varsha speaks with Rachel at their palace where the four-star General Gila is fighting three shadow wars, the top-tier Dr. Queequeg overseeing multiple government laboratories, Senator Ziglot is on the verge of presidency, and Patrick Mahomes having multiple Super Bowl Rings as she starts to rant about Rachel not marketing "a simple cracker company". As Rachel ask her mother what she'd expect when she was given a "shabby piece of s***" to work with and that she should've had a hotter Land Rover, Queen Vasha now sees why Dr. Queequeg is right about Rachel not having the cutthroat killer instinct that they need. She then states to Rachel that Dr. Queequeg has finished making a new Land Rover and will be having Rachel's big sister Robin operate it to make sure that Rachel succeeds in her mission. Rachel then leaves telling them not to come to her which the male-dominated snack business eats them alive. On the day of Rachel's presentation at Royal Crackers Incorporated, Robin arrives in her Land Rover as she meets Stebe, Deb, Theo, Darby, and Al.

Rachel then starts her presentation with her slide show starting with a slide of a snack and hot sauce blog called Snacks in the City where she almost got them a shout-out. When Theo complains about nearly getting onto a blog post, Rachel states that it is really popular with the suicidal divorcees. Robin then states that Rachel is trying to say that there is a lack of brand awareness beyond Bakersfield as she unveils RC Snackitz, two delicious saltine crackers sandwiching a spread of their own design. Robin's RC Snackitz pitch wins everyone over as everyone starts to contribute to its development in their own ways. Soon, RC Snackitz are mass-produced with Patrick Mahomes doing a commercial about it as it is sold worldwide. General Gila mentions that Royal Crackers Incorporated has made generous donation where humanitarian aid is now provided by dropping RC Snackitz on the USA's distressed allies. Queen Varsha is pleased with the results. At her house, Rachel is told by Robin that their kind will make far better use of the upper land as Dan shows up with Rachel's food order and wants her to attend a taping of "Kith or Kin" with him. As Robin notes that Rachel has gone soft with Dan and dumb TV shows, she claims that she won't bring this up with their mother. Robin claims that she will keep this a secret. Rachel is later summoned to Queen Vasha where she finds that they captured Dan as General Gil and Dr. Queequeg subject him to the frequency upon Dan having eaten the RC Snackitz as purple growths emerge from Dan enough to kill him. At Royal Crackers Incorporated, Rachel goes to Stebe who shows her the new and improved RC Snackitz supercharged spread in a keg as he gets high on it. As Rachel states that they need to stop production of RC Snackitz immediately, Stebe assumes that Rachel is jealous at Robin. When Robin comes in, Stebe assumes that she and Rachel are sibling rivals. At the Hornsby Mansion, Stebe tells his family that Royal Crackers Incorporated's stock is officially up as Stebe opens the Champagne La-Verrene in front of Robin. Rachel looks through the window as Stebe says hi to her and the rest of the family waves to her. Back at her house, Rachel tells Francesca that she's the only one who gets her. Back in Subterra, Robin informs Queen Vasha and her fellow core operatives about Rachel causing Queen Vasha to have Rachel dealt with. Robin, General Gila, and Dr. Queequeg load fungicide into Rachel's house while she sleeps. It is then shown that Rachel in her true form was with Francesca in his terrarium as she starts to feel the fungicide. After barely making it to her Land Rover, Rachel evacuates herself as Francesca succumbs to the fungicide. At Royal Crackers Incorporated, Stebe informs the board about the complaints regarding the intestinal pain as Al mentions that their stock price is on a precipitious descent. Everyone is asking where Rachel is so that they can talk to Robin. In Subterra, General Gila informs the crowd that today is the day that they venture to the surface. Stebe finds his keg filled with RC Snackitz supercharged spread missing. In retaliation for the attempt on her life, Rachel takes the keg that she tapes with some gasoline, the VALU-Toys Portable Karaoke Machine, and a time bomb where she tearfully sends it down to Subterra. It explodes as all the small mushroom people are consumed by the explosion. The final shot shows Rachel watching her house burn down.

The next night, Theo plans to show Shrek the Third on movie night when he finds the inmates have a hard time finding the remote control. The inmates start to get hostile towards Theo upon hearing from the prison guards that it might be a week until a new remote control arrives. Reminding the inmates that they are "Titans of Industry", Stebe also reminds them what they would do with dead weight in the business world. As Theo is working in the Japanese dry garden, Stebe watches him being approached by the inmates who pulls out their prison shivs. Stebe comes out stating that he found the remote control to make Theo look bad. When Charles speaks out towards the jeopardizing of movie night, Stebe throws the remote control into the inmate's right eye. As Theo apologizes to Stebe for getting him arrested and undermining him, Stebe states that he and Charles didn't get the memo where "no one f***s with Stebe Hornsby". Theo is then stabbed. Just then, Stebe wakes up in a hospital room due to Theo farting in his face. It turns out that Stebe was in a coma for a week as Deb has explained this to him. This happened after Stebe was stabbed by an inmate 30 seconds upon entry with the surveillance footage of it going viral on PrizTube. Theo states that after seeing the video, the judge felt sorry for Stebe enough to downgrade Stebe' sentence to community service. Deb, Theo, and Matt then leave to let Stebe get some rest. After Deb and Matt walk out, Theo thanks Stebe for going to prison for him as Stebe states that it is his job to protect him. Once Theo is gone after doing a quick apology, Stebe looks out his hospital window with a negative look on his face. Cast : Peter Serafinowicz as Warden Sandy, Fred Tatasciore as Charles | |||||||

Some years ago, Theodore Hornsby Sr. sees Factory 6 on fire from a distance as he gets a call from Al about it. Its head operator could not be reached because it is Christmas. As Marjorie gives Stebe and Theo the opportunity to open one Christmas present on Christmas Eve, Stebe and Theo open the presents containing items that would occur in their later lives which currently frightened them in this time. As Theodore shouts for his sons to keep it down, he tells Al not to send the fire department to Factory 6 as it is a treasure trove of health and labor violations. Then an explosion happens which sends out a shock wave and breaks the window enough to send shards into Theodore. When his family comes in, Theodore states to Marjorie that his sons can't see him in a state of weakness or they'll lose respect for him. Then Theodore continues his ranting while he wrecks the Christmas tree. In the present, Matt is dropped off by a taxi cab driver outside the Factory 6 Exclusion Zone with the taxi cab driver claiming that Cone Zone that his parents sent him to is located here. As Matt enters the Factory 6 Exclusion Zone, he finds a pit bull that chases him to the top of a hill where he sees some hazmat workers overseeing some Utzi Wutzis. When a seagull gives Matt away to some hazmat workers, an unnatural tornado occurs causing the hazmat workers to get to the bunker. Matt is then saved by the pit bull who gets him to safety. Returning to the Hornsby mansion, Matt hides the pit bull in Theodore's room where it ends up attacking him enough for Theodore to be awoken from his sleep state. In a flashback, a recuperating Theodore has called in a man named Jonathan who was the head operator at Factory 6 as Theodore hopes that Christmas has not delayed the release of booming onion-flavored Royal Crackers. Theodore then presents him with a box of the booming onion Royal Crackers that was salvaged from the floor at Factory 6 in an irradiated state. While reaching for them, Jonathan states to Theodore that he does not know what happened at Factory 6 and surmises that the seasoning formula for the booming onion Royal Crackers was miscommunicated. Theodore rants that the miscommunication caused an explosive chemical reaction of which the world has never seen. Jonathan states that he signed on to Factory 6 because he believed in Theodore's vision for an onion-flavored cracker. As a compromise, Theodore states that he will falsify some documents and find someone else to take the fall. Theodore is thanked by Jonathan who claims that he is now in his debt. Back in the present, Theodore is still attacked by the pit bull as he operates an old-fashioned telephone to call up someone on the other end of it to kill the pit bull that is attacking him. The woman that answers is Jonathan's wife as he tells Jonathan about the call. Jonathan has since become a hitman and leaves to return a favor to Theodore as Jonathan's wife tells him not to forget to pick up some milk. Meanwhile, Matt goes to speak to his family where Deb mentions that they had to start the Christmas tree decoration early, Stebe mention that the Christmas photo shoot is just a few days away, and Theo states that he brought out the stepladder so that Matt can put the star on for their yearly tradition. Matt hears some sounds and states that he will go check it out. Matt finds the pit bull attacking Theo as Matt orders the pit bull to drop Theodore. As Matt hides the pit bull under the bed, Stebe, Deb, and Theo come up to find Theodore on the door in a beaten-up state. They assume Matt attacked Theodore and scold him upon assuming that he did it out of retaliation for decorating the Christmas tree without him. The Hornsby family is then visited by Jonathan who asks where the pit bull is as he beats up Stebe and Theo. Just then, the pit bull attacks where it rips off some skin from Jonathan's right arm and face causing Jonathan to retreat vowing that they will all pay. Matt explains that he found the pit bull at the site of where "Cone Zone" is. When Stebe brings Theodore in, the pit bull attacks him again. Matt then proceeds to order the pit bull to drop it as Stebe claims to Theodore that Matt learned it from him. In another flashback, Marjorie helps Stebe and Theo get over their fears of their birthday presents by wielding both of them. Once that tactic works, Marjorie is praised by Stebe and Theo as Theodore secretly looks in. Back in the present, Stebe, Deb, Theo, Matt, and the pit bull are at Cone Zone where Stebe breaks the bad news to Matt about the pit bull (who was named "Dog" by Matt) having to be euthanized due to its attacks on Theodore. Just then, the Hornsby family and Dog are picked up by some hazmat workers who state that they are in possession of a contaminated life form from the Factory 6 Exclusion Zone and are taken into custody due to them jeopardizing public health and safety. At the Factory 6 Exclusion Zone, the Hornsby family watches a "Welcome to the Exclusion Zone" that details how they will be contributing to the restoration of Bakersfield's illustrious industrial belt. Meanwhile, some hazmat workers prepare to euthanize Dog. In another flashback, Theodore has Marjorie take the blame for what happened at Factory 6 while claiming that he wanted to spend too much time with his family on Christmas Eve. If Theodore got sent away, Marjorie would become poor destitute. Her persuades her to sign the E.P.A. Admission of Wrongdoing for their family. Back in the present, Dog awakens, breaks free of its shackles, attacks the hazmat workers, and frees the Hornsby family. As the Hornsby family commandeers one of the hazmat workers' vehicles, they are pursued by Jonathan on his motorcycle where he uses his special wheels to slice their vehicle in half. As Jonathan prepares to put Dog down, an unnatural tornado happens where it sucks everybody in it. In another flashback, Theodore, Stebe, and Theo say their goodbyes to Marjorie as she leaves for the Factory 6 Exclusion Zone to help the factory workers clean up the mess that was made. Back in the present, Matt moves through the tornado to get to Dog only for Jonathan to interfere and throw Matt away. Jonathan then rides the tornado towards Dog who breaks free as Jonathan grabs Dog. Before Jonathan can kill Dog, Stebe manages to punch Jonathan away. Then Dog pulls the remains of the vehicle towards the Hornsby family as they escape the tornado and the Factory 6 Exclusion Zone. Jonathan returns home as his wife gets no answer on if he picked up the milk. Going to the shed where he had put up a shrine of worship towards Theodore with the same irradiated booming onion Royal Crackers box present, Jonathan quotes "Til we meet in Valhalla, my lord" as he commits suicide by eating from the irradiated crackers. In another flashback, an Utzi Wutzi named Utzilias is tending to an elderly and dying Marjorie who wishes that she could have kept her promise to see her sons one more time. Back in the present, Al takes the Hornsby family and Dog's picture as Theodore's closed eyes move a tiny bit. The final flashback shown that a ritualist was brought in with a pit bull body confiscated from animal control as he performs a ritual that transfers Marjorie's lifeforce into the body of the pit bull.
