Go To

Marco's past catches up to him.

Debbie is in the middle of a breakdown because to the men she's little more than a whore and she knows it. Marco gives Debbie a Rousing Speech that encourages her to mend her ways and reform her life. Sparks, however, swears he heard that speech before and scrolls through his catalogue of tentacle hentai until he finds the one non-pornographic video he has-an episode of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids.

Quinn is not pleased to hear that Debbie is moving out and breaking up with him, especially since she's finding religion in the process. Debbie gives all her sex toys to Hesh, horrifying Shanks and Stormy in the process.

Shanks has dropped his Southern accent because he kept being Mistaken for Gay. It also turns out Gay Guy Lance normally has a pirate accent when he's not affecting a stereotypically gay accent.

Sparks confronts Marco with proof that Marco used to play Todd from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids. Debbie is continuing to reject Quinn's advances and enters the chapel. As Quinn yells after her, the priest suggests Quinn go to the black church.

After asking Marco if he scored with any of his female costars, Sparks tells him he hasn't told anyone else about this. Unfortunately, Shanks and Stormy happen to come up while they talk and heard everything. Sparks asks how the hell Marco was on a show from fifty years ago, only to find out Marco's actually going to be 80 soon. (His secret to keeping his good looks? Whole grains and pterodactyl blood.)

Back at the chapel, the priest is yelling at Debbie for ripping pages out of the Bible and bringing snakes into the chapel. Debbie trips over a drunk Quinn and chastises him for drinking. Quinn finds out Marco was behind Debbie's spiritual turn and swears revenge for cockblocking him.

Marco is telling the others that he actually ran out on his contract after the executives at Cartoon Network refused to give him a bigger trailer, and laid low in Mexico under a different name, starring in the telenovella Mi Amor Pelegroso. Sparks tries to argue that no one cares about Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids anymore, but Marco tells him that Sparks does not know what dark forces work at Cartoon Network and if they find out he's still alive, he'll wish he was dead. Quinn overhears everything and laughs evilly before telling Gay Guy Lance to stop tickling him.

Debbie, now in full blown fundamentalist mode, is spray painting Virjay's door proclaiming him a sinner for worshiping a 'false god'. Virjay argues that his god predates hers by 1200 years, to which she responds by spraying him in the eyes.

As Sparks, Stormy, and Shanks promise not to rat Marco out to Cartoon Network, Quinn does just that. They promptly send a sub to hunt Marco down. As guns are trained on him, Prescott from "Return to Oblivion" appears to confront Marco. Marco immediately accuses Sparks of ratting him out, and rips his arm off before Prescott tells him it wasn't Sparks.

Marco thinks Prescott will kill him, but Prescott says no, he won't, but Marco must still render unto Caesar. Debbie runs up at hearing the Bible reference and the armed soldiers have fun training their laser sights on her breasts, getting her to touch them. Prescott tells Marco that he owes them one more episode, and even the other actors being dead won't get him out of it.

Shanks is surprised to find out Sealab has a holodeck, which Prescott plans on using to replicate Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids, with the other Sealab crew members replacing the actors in the band. They start filming, and Shanks suggests they solve the mystery of the Big Bang. Prescott declares it brilliant, but America isn't ready for it and cancels the show. Shanks declares that as long as they're here...

The Stinger: They perform the Sealab 2021 theme, with Stormy on tambourine, Shanks on guitar, Marco on bass, and Sparks on drums (still one handed, no less!).

The Other Stinger: Debbie tries to heal Virjay's blinded eyes. Virjay tackles her in response.
