## Plot

The episode starts with Dry Bones driving in Carl's car with Boo at incredible speeds. Due to Dry Bone's arrogance and ego, he keeps going until he crashes the car, causing severe damage. Carl decides to take the fall for Dry Bone's actions again, and loses his driving privilege for two weeks.

As Carl talks to Blooper about this the next day, Dry Bones shows up and lies instead of apologizing. Fed up with his lack of responsibility and selfishness, Carl begins to grow upset with him. Dry Bones' only retaliation is again calling Carl a pussy and reminding him what happened last summer. Carl then decides to bring up that Talia is at least with someone she's happy with. This causes a fight between the two. When Johnson split them up, not only did the fight end, but so did their friendship.

The next day, after the fight, Blooper asks what happened after fight, and Carl tells him that both him & Dry Bones received after-school detention for the next 2 months and has decided to stop being his friend, much to Blooper's sadness. Carl reassures him that Dry Bones has been annoying towards him and has been taking the fall for him for years. Just then, Grace & Roxanne show up, and they ask about the fight that happened on the previous day. Grace becomes sad when she was informed of the dispute and the friendship ending, and Roxanne starts to disapprove of Dry Bone's decisions. Carl told the girls about how Dry Bones has always been holding him back, and getting him trouble. Harry, Tucker, Roberto, and Mark arrive, who also heard about the fight that had occurred, taking Carl's side after the fact.

As Dry Bones talks about his and Carl's fight to Kylie and Emily, who have started going out, Talia and Chad drop by to quickly say hi, since Talia shouldn't be here as she quit her job by dumping milkshakes on DeDeDe. The group then brings up the fact that she's been acting different, as she hasn't been at school so much up to the point of not taking the final test. Although, Kylie says that since she's happy, they should leave it be.

Later, Dry Bones and Boo come across Gooper and his gang. Acting like a douche as always, Dry Bones brings up the fact that he beat up Carl and ended their friendship, while it is very much the other way around. Surprisingly, Gooper buys the lie and offers the two to hang out with a gang called the Gutts at Friday night. While Boo doesn't like the idea, Dry Bones couldn't care less and forces him to come.

At Chad's house, he and Talia drink beers until Chad proposes that they leave town and move to Skyland, causing Talia to contemplate the idea. Meanwhile, Grace, who makes Carl watch another show she likes, brings up to Carl about Talia's new behavior and her fear of losing their friendship. Carl, however, denies that will happen.

Dry Bones and Boo arrive at Gooper's basement. As Gooper brings up the plan, Kylie is brought up and Dry Bones tells them about the house party and them hooking up. Of course, he lies and says he told Kylie to hit the road since she was too clingy. Flaig gets offended, but is told to shut up, as always.

Talia arrives, two hours late, at Roxanne's house, where the others are waiting. She then excitedly brings up that she and Chad are thinking about moving away. The girls are less than thrilled, and question how they can support themselves or if Chad ditches her. Offended, Talia storms out.

At dinner, Carl brings up his and Dry Bones' dispute and friendship ending. Calvin is more than thrilled that he's gone.
