Plot: After another day stuck in traffic, Tom hits on the idea of running a beer truck to dispense beer to those waiting in traffic. When Sandals hesitates to invest, he decides to take the issue up with Abagail resulting in being teased by the guys. Abagail shoots him down but he decides to invest their funds anyways. Tom's idea, despite earning a great sum, causes a major pile up due to all the drunk driving, which turns into a bust and Sandals loses his life savings, resulting in their possessions being foreclosed. When Abagail leaves him to go to her mother's, Sandals becomes so upset that he decides to take his own life by driving Tom's beer turck over a cliff. After the funeral, Tom and Shubie offer to let Abagail stay with them temporarily and to their horror she takes them up on it. When Abagail sends Tom off to the Fluvanna Center in search of kevlar pantyhose, Tom discovers Sandals is alive and well. Sandals admits he faked his death in an attempt to free himself from Abagail and declares he will never go back.

Getting a crew of movers to hoist Abagail up to Sandals' apartment, they confront each other and Sandals admits he wanted Abagail to be proud of him for once. Abagail admits she takes him for granted and they agree to patch things up. Just as the make up, the hoist collapses and they are able to sue the movers to return to their life as they knew it.

While Abagail and Sandals are otherwise occupied, Jimmy takes up work on a crab boat as on the television show Deadliest Catch and is swept overboard. The episode ends with him enjoying himself out to sea while being encircled by sharks.
