## Synopsis

Kirti Mang invites Lamar to a meeting to discuss development on a new island, where he also has Jim Randolph in the office to discuss about it. Kirti then tells Lamar that he will take the position as the island's head of state, though Lamar despises being an authoritarian, but Mang tells him that he has no choice and that he does not need to be an authoritarian to run an island. Lamar then agrees to taking the position of running the island.

Lapis and Leon Lapis are at their house building a soap box derby with Junichiro, but they fail to do so when the car's engine burns out of fuel upon test driving. As Leon tries to drive it back, the kart goes so fast to the point of only driving on it's hind wheels, causing him to pop a long wheelie before driving over the road wall and into Tyler's dad's backyard. Leon gets out of the kart before it suddenly catches fire, but Tyler notices and sends his dad to extinguish the kart. Tyler's dad then asks Leon how he got into his yard, Leon explains that he was testing a derby that he was making for his son and himself with Junichiro. Ultimately, Tyler's dad helps compensate for the damage that they've caused to his yard.

Back at CCTV's headquarters, Lamar becomes overwhelmed with the fact that he's running for governor of the new island that Mang is planning to set up, so he helps provide documents that he needs to start the new island. The kicker is that the island is 6,500 miles away from Lamar's home town, thus it would be impossible for him to get there without a boat. So Lamar buys a boat so that he can get to the island safely and efficiently. By the time he reaches the island, however, most of the island is already completed and there are already people spending their vacation to it, though when Lamar steps on the island he is greeted by everyone on it as the island's governor. As the governor, he gets the island's mansion, which is at the highest point on the island and is seen by the entire island.

After hearing about the island, Levi, Dolo, Sean, and Tyler all book a flight to the island from their home town. They arrive on the island without Lamar knowing or having any prior knowledge on the island. Lamar's partner Levar also serves as vice governor of the island and Mang being the island's prime minister. Lamar signs a series of rules and policies upon visiting the island, which strictly prohibits any form of profanity, harassment, or discrimination anywhere on the island, and upon signing the bill, he speaks over the intercom throughout the entire island that if anyone breaks these policies then they would be locked up in the island's prison system.

Meanwhile back at home, Leon is almost done with building another prototype car, but when he drives it, he drives it over David's house, which causes the roof to be shaved from where the kart drove up above it. David screams in agony seeing that his roof was destroyed.

Back on the island, Lamar finally notices that Levi, Dolo, Sean, and Tyler arrive on the island, but a badly behaved citizen on the island in the same vicinity is sent to prison for swearing (Lamar calls the prison time out). Sean asks Lamar what he's doing as the island governor, Lamar replies that he's only doing this because Mang chose him to be the governor as he is the only trustworthy person Mang knows.

At home, Leon Lapis is in hot water with a nearby thug who appears to be a friend of David and shames him for the damage he caused to his house when the kart derailed off the ramp that was put in the middle of the road, which prompts David filing a lawsuit against him.

On the island, Lamar greets a traveler who starts talking smack after listening to a self help seminar, which prompts Lamar to throw him in timeout for a few days. S Sean eventually walks him to it while saying the f word and b word several times, which makes Lamar furious at Sean and causes him to also be thrown in jail as well. Sean notices something unusual, but when he tries to report it to Lamar, he yells at him "I said time out sean! That means no talking!". Sean yells that it is serious, but Lamar goes down and checks it, seeing that one of the cell pipes started leaking, so he has someone fix it for him.

Back at home, Leon and David are in a legal court battle in regards to the destruction of the property, the judge sentences Leon to 72 hours community service and is ordered to stay 100 feet away from David or his house. The restraining order also applies to Lapis and Junichiro, though Lapis tries to tell the judge that he has had no part in the damage, but David is not fooled as he saw him setting up the ramp with Junichiro after Leon ordered it to be placed there.

Back on the island, Levi starts performing illegal rap music on the island, which causes him to be arrested and thrown in jail, the same cell Sean is in. Lamar warns Levi that he means business and he will escort him and all of his friends off the island if they keep it up. Tyler is exempt from much of the expectation as he is one of Lamar's only mature friends that he has.
