Plot: Tom looks foward to his big Superbowl party. At work during supervisor Tom's anniversary party after 25 years with Waterman Cable, he drops dead. At the funeral, Tom tries to convince Dennis into taking the job so they could both benfit. Shubie convinces Tom to try for the promotion himself and not play second fiddle to Dennis. Mr. Waterman surprises them both by giving the position to Lenny who quickly proves to be a taskmaster. To try to snuff out the flames of revolt, Lenny fired Chad who discussed shooting up the office while demanding everyone else go on a work retreat which takes place during the Superbowl weekend. Nervous that Tom will show him up, Lenny insists on them being partners during a scavenger hunt. When Tom refuses to help out, Lenny panics when he finds that neither of them have a map to get back. It turns out that Lenny is afraid of the woods due to the violent behavior of the animals. Tom and Lenny confront each other over their issues. They find out that it was their wives who both put them up to becoming supervisor in an attempt at a power play and decide to work together to get out of the woods. Just then, Chad arrives to shoot Lenny in revenge for being fired. Tom manages to get Lenny airlifted to a hospital and recovers in time for the Superbowl party. The epilogue reveals that Chad is acquitted for shooting Lenny because he had a hunting license.
Meanwhile, Taylor gets to take home the class turtle. When Tyler mistakes Taylor's talking to him on a monitor for the turtle speaking with him, Taylor decides to use it to his advantage, demanding money, stunts and for Tyler to do Taylor's homework. When Taylor finds the turtle missing, Tyler tells him he put it in the storm drain because of it being mean to him. Taylor is forced to confess to Mrs. Lowenstein about losing the turtle where she reveals a drawer full of turtles and reports that every single turtle removed has never been returned. After admonishing Taylor that the turtle is really a lesson on birth control, she gives him a replacement.
