When Ricky gets a job as a mall security guard, he puts Julian’s dope-growing operation at risk and tries to arrest Bubbles for stealing shopping carts.
Plot Summary
Bubbles goes to pick up Ricky and Julian from jail, who are wearing the same suits from when they were arrested at the wedding. They head to a park to detail their new plan: Freedom 35, where they break the law a bit at first to get the money to start growing dope.
They head to the mall to steal some car stereos, but the mall manager intercepts them and questions them. Ricky is able to get him and Julian out of trouble with the manager, who is shown to be a nervous idiot.
They show up to the park again, which is a complete mess. Ricky heads to see his dad, who is with Sarah, and they explain that Lucy doesn’t want anything to do with Ricky. He tries to take a birdhouse to Lucy, who is now in love with Randy because he has a stable job.
Julian heads to J-Roc to sell the car stereos, and despite the slow market, they are able to get some starting growing equipment. Corey and Trevor drop off the gear, and Ricky shows up to tell Julian about his situation. Julian tries to dissuade Ricky from getting a job, but Ricky storms off.
Ricky starts working at the mall as a security guard, and his first task is to stop the cart thieves. The thief, however, is Bubbles, and Ricky catches him throwing carts over the edge. Julian shows up and is unable to convince Ricky to quit his new job, so he plans to get Ricky fired.
Ricky radios to the mall manager that he caught the cart thief, and he brings Bubbles tot he manager. However, Ricky lets him go and the other guards take Corey and Trevor. Julian’s plan of planting a stolen car stereo in Ricky’s trunk works and gets Ricky fired, which only makes Ricky more enraged.
Everyone arrives back to messy trailer park, and Ricky talks to Bubbles and Julian. He asks Julian about the new dope he is planting, but its clear Julian is clueless about it. Ricky agrees to help Julian grow the dope and Freedom 35 is back on track.
