The crew of Sealab are staring in disbelief at a man wearing a jetpack that's been hovering outside Sealab, in the middle of the ocean, with no air, for three hours. Sparks recognizes him and turns to a news report about the man, Max Stone, an extreme trillionaire who's known for outrageous stunts and building a golden mansion in the center of the earth.note
Suddenly Max Stone appears inside Sealab and claims Sealab for himself. When Quinn protests that it belongs to the US Government, Max just buys it outright. Quinn's still pissed because Sealab is a research lab, not something for him to take 'to the extreme'. Sparks is thrilled and promptly sucks up to Max. Shanks declares that Max isn't going to take over Sealab, to which Max responds by freezing Shanks in carbonite.
Quinn is wheeling Shanks to his lab and swearing to get Sealab back to normal when he accidentally knocks Shanks to the ground.
Max is surveying the staff of Sealab (with Stormy now on guitar), and fires a few of them, including Virjay and Yost from "Dearly Beloved Seed". Max decides to go eat lunch on the moon and puts Sparks in charge.
Quinn glues Shanks back together. At a branch of Luigi's located on the moon, Max enjoys his lunch. Back at Sealab, as Shanks is left by the vending machine, everyone else tries to convince Quinn that it won't be so bad with Max funding Sealab. They nearly win him over when he learns that his research budget was increased 300%, but he's still convinced something will go wrong and he'll have to save the day. Also, Max helped fund a mission for Debbie to convert troglodytes in the center of the earth.
Shanks, still frozen in carbonite, manages to knock over the vending machine, and cries when he realizes he can't eat the candy inside.
Quinn runs in, thinking something's wrong, but Sparks tells him everything's fine. The vaporators are running at 150% efficiency, the kelp was harvested that morning, and there are no bees on Sealab. Debbie asks Quinn to come see her, but it's only to show the giant electron microscope they received.
Max returns, eating a shark from the inside and crossing it off his bucket list. However, he's now bored of Sealab. The others beg him to stay, saying that Sealab under him is running better than ever. Even Quinn wants him to stay. He says he'll stay if they make it more interesting. Sparks suggests flaming bats and Stormy hits him in the balls. Quinn runs away screaming about bees, and Max tells him that he's seen it, but it turns out Quinn means anthropomorphic letter B's, wielding swords and guns. As they slaughter Sealab, Max gets bored again and takes off.
The Stinger: Outtakes of Ellis Henican (Stormy) singing random lines of Stormy playing guitar.
The Other Stinger: Debbie trying to convert troglodytes. Debbie tells them they'll burn in the lava pits of Hell for all being gay (no female troglodytes, after all). Them being lava people, Hell is paradise for them.
