==Synopsis==
When Patches and Peel visit the Historic Trash Pits, a massive sinkhole opens up sending Patches and Graffiti Steed on an unforgettable journey to the early aughts.
==Plot==
In effort to invite some culture into their lives, Patches and Peel spend the day at the Historic Trash Pits — mainly because it's free. While Patches enjoys the history of it all, Peel is overcome with boredom. As Patches exits the site, an earthquake erupts ripping a hole in space/time. Peel is unable to save Patches from the swirling wormhole, so along with Graffiti Steed and Mrs. Pit, Patches falls in only to discover he's been sent back in time to the early aughts. 
Graffiti Steed scores some pills at the Internet Cafe and concludes that he'll be embarking on this journey with Patches whether he likes it or not. Peel realizes that Patches is having fun without him and devises a half-cocked plan to rescue them.

==Trivia==
*It is the first Tuesday of the month which holds little significance other than the fact that The Trash Pits Historical site is free on that day.
*In Peel's vision, Patches is holding the Divisive Times newspaper. Graffiti Steed is pictured on the front page with a headline that reads "Town Mayor or Clown Mare?"
*Graffiti Steed's "I ♥ Whores" hat was not a fixture in the original 2022 version of The Trash Pits.
*Core is spotted in early 2000s Trash as a well-to-do businessman.
*The opening credit sequence is played partially in reverse for a "warped time" effect.
*The Trash Pits is the second episode to feature an in-world ad.
**The "Trash is Forever" in-world t-shirt ad was truncated for brevity. An extended version can be seen on BLKMRKTMedia's store page.
*The writers weren't sure if "Vodka-Surge" was an actual 90s drink so they decided to make their own version with Sprite and Mountain Dew.
==Errors==
*Mrs. Pit was in fact completely forgotten about, so she was tagged in pre-credits to honor her time-travel experience.
==Cultural references==
*The Trash Pits is a parody of La BreaLa Brea Wiki | Fandom.
*Various 90s and early 2000s nostalgia references including: the Internet Cafe, AOL instant messenger, Furby, MapQuest, Blockbuster, Myspace Tom, purple ketchup, etc.
