[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

At Winfred-Louder, Mimi asks Drew how his drive home was the night before. Mimi put a dead fish and a raccoon in his car to get back at him for previous pranks. When Mimi is not looking, Drew pulls another prank of his own by trading Mimi's squeezable butter with soap. Kate then comes in with another coffee-flavored beer that is a rip-off of Buzz Beer called Cap-Beer-Cino, and asks Drew to taste-test it. When Mr. Wick comes out of his office, he notices that Drew has been drinking alcohol, and questions why Drew is drinking on the job. Drew claims that he will prove that he is not drunk by walking a straight line, but ends up slipping when Mimi squeezes some of the liquid soap onto the floor. At the Warsaw Tavern, Oswald and Lewis bring in several cases of Buzz Beer while Drew talks to Tony, the owner of the bar. Chris Vanderkamp, the owner of Cap-Beer-Cino, walks into the bar and attempts to sell the beer to Tony. Drew yells at Vanderkamp claiming he stole Buzz Beer's recipe, but Chris claims that the flavor is actually cappuccino, not coffee. Additionally, he admits that he stole the idea from Buzz Beer, but has received assurances from his lawyers that he can sell Cap-Beer-Cino. Vanderkamp decides to have a random stranger taste-test the Cap-Beer-Cino, which happens to be Lewis. Lewis initially likes it but claims he is blind when Drew tells him the beer is from the competition. Tony comes over and unintentionally ends up revealing that Lewis, Oswald and Drew all own Buzz Beer. The owner of Cap-Beer-Cino pokes fun at Drew, and they almost get into a fight. The gang decides to buy an ice cream truck to keep Buzz Beer cold while making deliveries. The gang is a little flustered after the constantly repeating music annoys them and kids begin chasing the ice cream truck thinking the gang is selling ice cream. The next day, the refrigeration unit in the truck breaks, and the gang suspects its the work of Chris Vanderkamp. The car dealership that sold them the ice cream truck finally agrees to replace the unit after Lewis and Oswald dress as lemons and scare away customers. Lewis and Oswald discover that Vanderkamp sabotaged the truck with a Cap-Beer-Cino cap. Back at the Warsaw, Drew and Kate discover that people are drinking Cap-Beer-Cino instead of Buzz Beer because of its advertising campaign featuring Rachel Hunter. Kate attempts to persuade Rachel Hunter to do an advertisement for Buzz Beer, but is bewildered to see Rachel's price for her service. At Winfred-Louder, Mimi brings Drew fresh-made donuts, which Drew quickly accepts. When he tries to sniff them to see if there is anything wrong with them, she smashes the powdered donuts into his face. At that moment, Mr. Wick comes out of his office and believes that Drew is now using cocaine. Lewis, Oswald and Kate come in wearing fancy clothing, as they plan on going to Vanderkamp's neighborhoods to sell Buzz Beer. After entering one of the bars, the gang is amazed at how "beautiful" everyone is. When Drew attempts to sell Buzz Beer to the bar owner, the owner believes it is a rip-off of Cap-Beer-Cino. After listening to their sales pitch, he promises to get back to them. Before they leave, Vanderkamp enters and insults Drew, causing Kate to hit him and start a bar brawl. The gang returns to the Warsaw Tavern and are horrified to hear that the Warsaw Tavern no longer sells Buzz Beer, only Cap-Beer-Cino since Vanderkamp started a contest for a free trip to Tahiti. Drew convinces the Warsaw customers to reject Cap-Beer-Cino by standing on the bar and making a speech about loyalty to Buzz Beer. To turn the people away from Cap-Beer-Cino, he offers a date with Kate as a new contest for Buzz Beer. At the conclusion of the episode, the gang replaces Rachel Hunter's face on a Cap-Beer-Cino ad with a picture of Mimi, right next to a slogan saying Cap-Beer-Cino is for beautiful people.

Drew: Violence never solved anything? World War I, World War II, "Star Wars," every Super Bowl. Who says violence never solved anything?


(Lewis is pretending not to know Drew as he takes an "unbiased" beer taste-test between Buzz Beer and Cap-Beer-Cino)
Lewis: Mmm, it's not bad.
Drew: (angrily) It's Cap-Beer-Cino. It's the new competition for Buzz Beer.
Lewis: Oh. Well, it's malty...nutty...and yet...I'm completely blind!!!


(Lewis and Oswald are dressed up in business suits)
Oswald: We're still ourselves. Underneath all this is a pair of boxer shorts that say "Home of the Whopper."
Kate: Oswald, those were a gag gift.
Oswald: Yeah, well, when you get to the bottom of the drawer, joke's over.


Kate: They may have loads of money and their fancy bars, but we have one thing they'll never have: no class!
