"**P 'n' P Mart**" is the fifth episode of the first season of *Garbage People.* It is the fifth episode of the series. It premiered in Summer 2023. P 'n' P Mart was written and directed by Brit Tobin. This is Bodega Steve's first appearance in the series as well as Mrs. Pit's first speaking role.

## Synopsis

When their fun day plans are foiled by neighborhood shop owner Bodega Steve, Patches and Peel decide to open up their own store for customers who want to have ALL the fun.

## Plot

The episode opens with an exciting PSA from Graffiti Steed: '*Make Trash Fun Again*' which tickles Peel's curiosity for mischief. Patches needs to make a trip to Bodega Steve's after the battery in his TV remote dies. Along the way, they encounter Mrs. Pit who, much to Patches chagrin, tells them a riveting story about wild sex parties from her youth. Patches cannot bear to hear the rest of the story so he abides her terms and promises her an ice cream sundae from the bodega.

Along the way, Peel attempts to remind Patches of Graffiti Steed's message to no avail. Inevitably, they are kicked out of the bodega for a variety of reasons — primarily, because Steve insists that he does not sell 'illegal goods' and infers that Patches and Peel have been attempting to entrap him. Which they are. They leave the store deflated until they discover a new shipment of illegal goods at Steve's inventory receiving dock which is ripe for the pickin'. Patches and Peel decide to open their own bodega where people can have all the fun, they call it P 'n' P Mart.
