## Plot

The episode opens up with Lanky sleeping at the break room, then K. Rool came in to see Lanky being the only one here after he wakes up, which asked DK and the others could work Saturday as Lanky clarified that "they said they could, not that they would." Then Rool asked what Lanky was doing here which he admitted that he fell asleep towards the end of his shift, then asking "What time is it?", got his boss way annoyed.

Later that morning at his house, Krusha was bragging to his friends about his time with Dixie, which she later got up. She became shocked after he mentioned that the two had made out, and she clarified that it was a big mistake and then leave his house. Krusha tells her to get back to the house or they're done which his yelling wakes up his mother.

Later at his office, K. Rool has gotten annoyed of having to listen to Kate Bush...his annoyance has grown as his dad calls him, who still isn't happy with his son with the video he made which cause K. Rool to complain about his remarks. Despite of being embarrassed in front of the whole company, he decided to give K. Rool a second Chance by inviting him to an office party at Vidiris City. Harold has also invited DK and co, hoping they'll leave a good impression on the company, which K. Rool was looking forward to the party but not looking forward to bringing his employees with him. He asked his son if he has a problem with that, which Konner tells him that he looking forward to it and then ended their call.

Later at the employee break room, Dixie has gotten Tiny and Katryna shocked as she confessed to them that she kissed Krusha. Tiny tells her that they can get fired by him while Katryna tells the dimwitted Kong that Krusha is not their boss. Dixie tells the two that she was having a rough night as she sees Brody as a bore since he talks about his toilet paper company, also tells them that doesn't mean that she's getting back with Krusha. Tiny tells her that he changed his status to "in a relationship" on KoopaBook which Dixie tells the two that it was a "big, stupid mistake" she had made. At the storage room, Lanky tells DK, Diddy, Chunky, and Kiddy that he eavesdrop on the conversation about Dixie and Krusha at Funky's, even though Diddy doubts the two have made out. DK sides with Diddy on when it comes to the two as Chunky mentions that she had a date with Brody, Diddy just doesn't sees him as her type as DK is assuming that Dixie wouldn't be comfortable with her love life like this. Despite of what Dixie done, Diddy defended her.

Later while working, DK and Co gets an announcement from K. Rool that Harold had invited them to an office party at Viridis City. He also tells them that they need to won his father over again like last year's office party at the warehouse. When Diddy asked him if they're allowed to bring guests as he had plans with Kitty on Friday which K. Rool will allow it. After what had happened last party, K. Rool has tell Krusha that he wasn't invited after he threw up in front of Harold. He also will not allow Klump to the party, who was actually fine with it as he warns Lanky to stay away from more of his sisters which he defended his move with Kelly as real love, yet Katryna tells him that he blocked her mother's number because she texted him during kick off. K. Rool tells them that they all have to dress for the occasion. Chunky has the suit ready as well as Katryna, but her uncle picks an outfit for her. Then he makes a schedule arrangement with everyone by telling them that they'll be leaving Kongo Jungle for the hotel in the city Thursday Afternoon, but won't be hesitant to leave without one of them if late.

After work at the Kong residence, DK and Diddy (without his cap) are getting to leave for the party as Diddy is looking forward to bring Kitty along. Cranky enters their room to see that they haven't left yet which DK tell them that the trip isn't till tomorrow. When Cranky asked his grandsons what if the fridge stops working again, Diddy insults his generation, as Cranky tells him that he won't hesitate to kick his ass in front of Kitty then turns his attention to Rambi to let him know who's the one in charge. Meanwhile at Wrinkley's house, Dixie knocks at her door as Wrinkly thinking it's the kids playing a prank on her before noticing her granddaughter. Wrinkly asked her if she's not here to borrow money as Tiny had "visited three times in the last month for that", but Dixie is actually visiting her grandma to talk about Diddy. She tells her about the time where she and Diddy had to work the night shift which at first neither one are happy about, but it turned out fun with him around her. As she stated that he kissed her, she stopped talking to him as she didn't want to ruin her friendship with him, but when she went on a casual date with Brody, all she talks about was Diddy. She also talk about she made a mistake not before she saw him with Kitty. As Wrinkly tells her that she'll have to treasure her friendship with Diddy, Dixie also confessed her feelings for him. Even though she understood her grandma as she tells her that she gotta learn her mistake and move on, Wrinkly tells her that she's always welcome to come by her place in case of either needing a talk or hide a dead body (which the latter got Dixie disturbed.)

The Next day at Viridis City, K. Rool and his employees entered the hotel. As a female voice greets Diddy, he and Dixie noticed the voice being Kitty, as he rushed in to hug her. She tell him that she was a little late, as she had been stuck in traffic as it was caused by a huge explosion which injured several people. As Dixie tells Kitty that it's good to see her, Swanky appears in the hotel as everyone wasn't too thrilled to see him after he evicted Dixie and Tiny. He also has seen K. Rool for the first time as Harold tells the landlord all about him. As K. Rool wanted to go to the rooms, Swanky gave him the Key but Konner tells him that he paid for a private room, which is exclusive to the premium members. Wondering of what a premium is, Swanky tells Tiny that it is a payment plan, which "comes with a lot of perks," including a personalized key card, as he tells everyone it's $60 per month, plus a $40 cancellation fee, although K. Rool tells him that he paid $300 for the rooms alone as everyone will be staying on the 5th floor. Swanky tells everyone that the elevators, and the food at the bars are also exclusive to premium members as DK asked him what will non premium members get, the landlord tells him that regular members will be getting bread Sandwiches, wheat crackers and sparkling water which both Lanky and Tiny considered that as a ripoff. After refusing to getting a premium, K. Rool tells the others that they got to go clothes shopping.

Later at the clothing shop, K. Rool (in his orange suit) tells Katryna to come out or he's going there to burn her other clothes as she was wearing a purple zigzag dress which she complained about, he also tells her not to use that attitude in front of her grandfather. As DK and Kiddy came out to their suits, K. Rool noticed Lanky didn't have a suit on as the lazy Kong claims that they're expensive, but Kiddy is also noticed by his boss as he was carrying dangerous stuff. Then Dixie and Tiny came out to their dresses, which has DK and Lanky ogling over the dress Tiny is wearing, but K. Rool won't allow it as he reminded her that it's a (business) party, not Coachella. Up next to come out were Diddy and Kitty, as K. Rool shows Tiny an example of what kind of dress she should be wearing, Dixie has complimented the dress that Kitty is wearing. As the last one being Chunky, he comes out of the changing room, wearing an outfit that has everyone in shocked.

At night time in the K. Rool Inc. Building, K. Rool and his employees has shown up to the Corporate party. Harold shows up to gladly see DK, even though he tells him that the suit he's wearing isn't required which DK tells him that the suit was K. Rool's Idea as he finds them itchy. Despite of her using attitude, Harold is glad to Katryna is in attendance, even though he can't say the same for both Kelly and Lanky for last year's attachment. He also gets introduced to Kiddy and Kitty (who doesn't work for the Kongo Jungle branch), he gets impressed with Diddy finding a date but can't say the same thing for his son. And to make K. Rool's night worse, Kennedy shows up as he insults the employees of his brother's, Harold has tell him that *he* was the one who invited DK and co, then Kennedy has changed his tone. Then they get introduced to his employees, his daughter Kassidi, who sees them as the freak show but Kennedy tells her that her grandfather is the one that invited DK and the crew, pretty much like K. Rool with Katryna from earlier, Kennedy tells her to behave herself or have her Porsche taken away. Continuing on the introduction of his employees, Kiudge is the next one to be introduced as Kennedy sees him as a strong man and the best juggler. Next up is Spewart Toopid, as he is being kept in the bottom floor as Kennedy finds him uncomfortable as well as the rest of his staff. Last but not least, Kennedy introduces to the head of his warehouse crew and son, Kip. After the introduction, Harold will find themselves a table alongside Kennedy and Kip, asked DK to join them which he accepts, then asked his son to get them drinks as K. Rool sees that as a sign of being an outcast.

As he is enjoying his conversation with Harold, Kennedy, and the others, he felt bad to see K. Rool sitting by his lonesome. The other managers from other branches talking about criticizes about Konnor trying to do this for attentions, as Harold offers DK to work for someone like him as he has a position available which Kennedy tells him that he's the one that gets the next position available. Even though DK was unsure as he doesn't want to leave Diddy and their friends, Harold tells him to consider it as DK will do just that. K. Rool gets some company from Speward as he threw up on the table he is sitting in. Meanwhile on the other side, Kip is just checking in with Diddy, Lanky, Chunky and Kiddy as he asking them if they're new to the city as Diddy consider the party fun while Lanky embarrassed Chunky by telling him that he is crying all the way to the city. As he tells them about the nightlife in Viridis City, he gets a phone call through the bluetooth earpiece, as Chunky asked him if he can have one, but Kip says that the earpiece is for business use only. As both Chunky and Lanky are shocked to see a female Kremling talking to Kip, he tells the two that they'll meet girls like that as he recommends the group to quit working for K. Rool and come up sometimes to the City which Diddy tells him that having a city life isn't his thing. The two were also talking about Dixie, even though Diddy tells him that she's one of his best friends, he gets shocked to hear when Kip asked him if he wouldn't mind if someone gives her a drink. After Kip got done with his conversation, the group thinking that he is an awesome one as Diddy kind of sees him as "Krusha if he wasn't a total moron."

As Kitty and Tiny are trying to cheer up Katryna who had been made fun after her cousin made a comment about her dress, Dixie (who is writing the lyrics on her notepad) gets a rude encounter from Kassidi. She tells Dixie to either move or she's going to get Kennedy to fire her, not until one of her friends noticed her as the girl that been puked on by Krusha from last year's office party in Kongo Jungle as someone had posted it on KoopaBook. Kassidi swiped the notebook from her hands, as she reads the lyrics Dixie puts down, she tells her if anyone is going to listen to her song if it gets released. Kitty came to Dixie's defense as she urged Kassidi to give her notebook back, as Kennedy's daughter threatened her to get fired by her father, Kitty clarified to her that she doesn't work for K. Rool Inc, especially wouldn't work for her even if she did have a job there which Kassidi does return Dixie gave Kitty the notebook as she is leaving. After that ugly confrontation, Kitty tells Dixie to not believe what Kassidi just says and also to let her know if she and her friends messing with her again. After Kitty leaves, a saddened Dixie leaves her table and tossed her notepad in the recycling barrel.

While not having a good time by himself, DK went on to check on K. Rool as he doubts if his employee really cares about him. To make his night worse, Kennedy shows DK a group of girls pictures of his brother as a kid. K. Rool tells him the reason why his night is crappy being just his father which he shows that Harold gives respect to Speward, also brings up the Harold won't forget it if some does something bad. As DK tells him that the corporate job offer, K. Rool has let out his frustration as he sees this as the way his father steals and tells him to go ahead to work for his father "and his corporate cronies" then runs off. As DK asked him of what shall he do, Kludge only speaks by grunting.

Outside of the building rooftop, Diddy checks on Dixie, as Kitty is hanging out with Tiny and Katryna, to see if she's okay which she tells him that she is a little homesick, while Cranky, back at Kongo Jungle complains that his grandsons left the chicken wings for him to eat so cold. Dixie tells him that his grandfather should be thankful to not be in the put in a retirement home, as he and DK tried to but the staff returned him to their home for being too angry. Diddy shows her that he sees the notepad in the trash as Dixie tells him that she wasn't cut out for music, but Diddy likes the lyrics she made, especially the song title "Mistake" which is the song is about Krusha. Despite of her doubts, he tells her to not give up on herself or her dreams of being a musician. After their wholesome conversation, Kitty and Katryna went in to see the two as Kitty tells them that the two couldn't find Tiny, who is having a conversation with Speward, who fibs to her about being the "real" CEO of K. Rool Inc while Harold is the face, he also asked her if she wants to make out with him.

As K. Rool is moping around, he overheard his nephew's conversation with the other Kremlings as Kip tells them how he actually feels about his uncle's Kongo Jungle branch employees. K. Rool tells his nephew that DK will be a better employee than anyone of the Warehouse Branch in Viridis City especially him which Kip ask if DK is good at besides giving away money and embarrassing himself, which his uncle defends his employee as a loyal and hard-working despite of being annoying, walking in the bathroom, and losing the keys to the garage. Kip asked him if he's done kissing DK ass or get reported for sexual harassment, then he gets barfed on by Speward, as Harold and other Warehouse branch seeing him in there. Harold has enough with his son, he tells Konnor that they have invited him here to redeem himself but after seeing him to mope all evening, picking a fight with Kennedy's son, and getting thrown up by Speward (which Tiny founds out that he isn't the CEO), he kicks him out of the party. As DK tells Harold and Kennedy that Cranky won't send him anymore money, he sees his boss, covering in vomit asking him what just happened. As Kennedy tells him that his boss is a total loser, DK tells that he would rather work for his "awesome boss" over Kennedy as Harold tells him that K. Rool may not be his boss for much longer. Then he draws his attention to his father asking why does he have to be mean to his son, and tells him that at least he should respect his son for getting them all as Harold tells him the only way for him to respect Konnor "when he cleans up his act andhis actual sales improves." DK gave up Harold's offer and leaves the party with K. Rool (along with the others,) but not before Kennedy gets deja vu from last year's party.

After leaving the party, K. Rool and his Employees returned to the hotel for a drink. DK apologize to K. Rool about his father as he does see him as a nice guy despite of being a bad father. Even though he asked DK if he really wanted to work for his dad at corporate as it'll pay him more, but DK tells him that he would rather with his friends than a bunch of suits. As he thanks DK for not betraying him, he "decided to pay for the damn Premium" so DK and Co can order what they want. As the girls, Lanky and Kiddy watch Chunky drink the appleade, Tiny tells her that she can take off the dress which Katryna is starting to get used to wearing it. As Kip enters the hotel bar, Kitty and Diddy were having a conversation that Tiny was making out with Speward as they see Kip as he's looking at someone else. The someone else he sees is Dixie, who is by herself, telling her that she had met Kayden Rool, who she deemed as an ass. Although he tells her that the others who had signed up to his label ended up either washed up or in jail as she had been lucky to get out of that. Even though she hated his dad, he too considered Kennedy as a moron. As seeing that she's interested in music, Kip wonders what is she doing working at his uncle's warehouse, she sees it as a long story. He offers her a place that they play all the music, especially the genre to her liking, Indie Rock. After a quick glance of Diddy being with Kitty, she accepts his offer as the two are leaving for their date, which the two are looking at them. As Kitty asked if he is okay, Diddy tells her that he is good, ending the episode.
