[edit] Plot Synopsis
Having not eaten supper the night before, Bubbles goes to Ray's trucker bunk and asks for some food. Ray admits that his booze and nine remaining cans of ravoli are missing, which causes Ricky and Bubbles to conclude that Julian stole them. Believing no good deed goes unpunished, Ray tries to steal Julian's rum and coke while he sleeps, but Julian catches him when he wakes up and snaps. He desperately wants to get his trailer back, and he can't stand living in a tent on a vacant lot. Meanwhile, in Julian's old trailer, Lahey shows Randy large liquor bottles he bought, one each representing the boys, which he plans to get drunk on after evicting and/or imprisoning them all. Then, he promises to quit drinking after all offenders in Sunnyvale are back in the slammer. He assigns Randy to deliver an eviction notice to Ray; the burned-out trailer must be removed by the end of the day. When Randy goes to warn Ray to clean up or leave the park, he finds there not Ray- but the boys, who threaten him to leave now. As Randy warns them that he will fight them if they don't cooperate, Ricky actually beats him and tears his pants off. Randy retreats back to Lahey and tells him about what happened, but Lahey is convinced that Ray "crossed the shitline" by telling everyone that he was really drinking liquor, and he will have his revenge soon.
J-Roc announces that he is making a new porno film called "J-Roc's Greasy Trailer Park Girls Gone Wild," and invites the boys to help him make it. None of them, except Bubbles, want to do the film, even though free food is offered, but Bubbles and Ray, who's in it for the free liquor, decide to participate. During principal photography, Bubbles gets uncomfortable when he is told that the script requires him to slap a girl's butt, and Ray, who wasn't allowed to have any drinks until after the shoot, gets completely wasted. In an effort to get Ricky to participate, J-Roc tells him that the main female lead is his girlfriend Lucy! Ricky is very uncomfortable with the idea of his daughter's mother acting in a porn flick and tries to talk her out of it, but she does not listen to him, the stress of which causes him to start getting chest pains.
Randy and Lahey go investigate near J-Roc's trailer and find the boys making the movie, as well as empty grocery bins and liquor bottles. It seems that Lahey has all the evidence he needs: he films on a camcorder Ray, while drunk, getting out of his wheelchair, thus proving he is not disabled. They call the Worker's Compensation Board and then the police, who arrive at the park and hustle Ray off to jail for welfare fraud. J-Roc and Tyrone are also booked by the cops for stealing groceries, and Trailer Park Girls Gone Wild is put on indefinite hiatus. Ricky is left devastated at this shocking turn of events, and Lahey gleefully celebrates his victory with a huge bottle of liquor.
