Plot: When Tom spends "Take Your Kid to Work Day" with Tyler, Taylor feels left out. At Shubie's suggestion, Tom and Taylor start spending more time together. After a disappointing day of shopping and bowling they end up at the county fair. Seeing some sea sheep they believe to be part of a petting zoo, they find out about "mutton bustin'" or sea sheep riding. Taylor turns out to be a natural and becomes hooked. Shubie believes it is too dangerous and tells them that there will be no more mutton bustin'. Taylor and Tom decide to start sneaking off together to continue riding and Tyler becomes jealous of Taylor and Tom's new relationship. Determined to find out their secret, Tyler ransacks Taylor's room until he finds his trophy case and pieces together the truth. Tyler plots to replace Taylor's sea sheep with himself in order to ruin him but passes out in a portable toilet while changing into a sea sheep costume. Meanwhile, Taylor finds out that the sea sheep are destined to become food after their riding days are over. Determined to save his favorite sea sheep Barnaby, they escape and hop a passing train to town, where they find themselves in a dangerous area. Tom is forced to tell Shubie about losing Taylor and quickly finds that Tyler is also missing. Tyler awakes to find his toilet has been transferred to a Renaissance Faire and believes he has traveled in time. Ducking back into the toilet, it is transferred again to a music festival and Tyler believes he is in the 1960s. Taylor passes by and finds him. With Barnaby finding a home with the music festival, Taylor and Tyler return home together.
