Plot
After another trip back to 2028, Kaz, Bree, Chase, Oliver, and Skylar are startled to find young versions of Liz and Vicky rehearsing for the talent portion of their family pageant; she sings a Stevie Nicks song and plays harp while wearing a white dress. Meanwhile, Michael is writing their names and talents on a poster. Gob is scheduled to do a "push up dance" while Michael is "Wonder Boy" as a magician. Lucille comes into the room to criticize Lindsay; Lucille wants her not to win, so that she can't go on the cruise with Mimi. Gob tells Michael that he really did let Buster off his leash to let him go swim in the ocean. Michael worries that Buster can't swim, so he runs off. Gob looks at the dove that Michael bought for his magic act, and it inspires him to steal Michael's talent for the pageant. He uses "Balls in the Air" for his music and accidentally kills the dove. Then Lindsay tap dances under a sheet due to Lucille's criticisms. Finally Michael returns with Buster from the ocean and resuscitates him on the floor. Lucille declares Michael and Buster the winners of the pageant.

In 2015, Dusty arrives at Buster's trial, still jittery and now upset about his father being in the hospital. When Lottie Dottie sees Dusty, she likes his haircut and is not upset at all. During her opening statement, she shows the video from Cinco of Buster finding Lucille 2's body on the staircar. Lottie points out the timecode, indicating missing footage, which she blames on Buster trying to use Fakeblock to tamper with evidence. She also shows the weather video of Buster tossing the body off the staircar into the ocean. Dusty flips out during his opening argument, but Lottie encourages him maternally.

Lucille confesses to George what she did last night at Dusty's house. She sneaked into a dark bedroom and thought she was having sex with Dusty, but instead she was with Dusty's sick and elderly father. Gob asks if Lottie is Dusty's ex-wife, but Lucille says she's actually his stepmother. In the hallway outside, Lucille confronts Dusty about not being clear about Lottie. Dusty is apparently a motherboy too, trying to make his stepmom jealous of Lucille. After Dusty leaves, Michael asks Lucille what happened, and she clarifies that the Dustin Radler who caused a mistrial was the elderly father, and Barry didn't realize that Lucille was dating Dustin Jr.

Michael suggests that they beg the judge for a mistrial, but Lucille now wants Buster's trial to go ahead while there's still no body found. Later, Dusty interviews Tobias to be a character witness for Buster. Tobias thinks he's going to play Buster as an actor, but Dusty explains that he just needs to testify on the witness stand. Tobias says that on the night of Cinco, Buster was playing the rock monster in the musical that night. Apparently Tobias is no longer at the Spotted Palm and needs a new place to live.

Aboard the Waverider, Heather is in the attic looking for law books when Ann comes in. Heather explains that she's trying to help out with the trial, since Dusty is rather incompetent. Michael thinks that maritime law should apply since Buster allegedly dumped her into the ocean. George Michael worries that Michael is trying to be the hero and is interfering too much. George Michael confesses that he knows about the foot, and "it's why I had to fire you" (but that's a lie, because George Michael fired his dad before he knew about the foot). George Michael almost confesses that Fakeblock isn't real, but just says it's not perfect. Michael has the Fakeblock app on his phone, and it's just a woodblock app, but Michael assumes that the app is just malfunctioning, stuck on the logo. Michael suggests again that George Michael sell the app to Rebel; "she's just using you for the software." George Michael confesses that Rebel dumped him, and that Fakeblock is not real. He worries that the Chinese will kill them, but Heather insists that she'll get them out of trouble.

Diggie, Holden, Willow, Val, Barry, Angus, and Olive are all missing from the trial, and Lottie calls Chase to the witness stand. On Cinco, he says he headed to the donkey punch stand to spy on the team. Chase did give Angela and Louis some Donkey Punch, but they knocked out Zuri and left the rock costume behind. Chase took the costume and performed in the musical. Therefore Angela and Louis have no alibi, and neither does Doug.

Diggie, Barry, Angus, Olive, Holden, Willow, Val, Edna, Murphy, and Brownie visit John and Ann in their office, telling them that Murphy blew their cover at the retirement community, so they got evicted. Marie and Barry Jr. also killed off their fake personas. They all want to move into the office and even offer to do some work, but Ann doubts they know anything about privacy software. But actually, Murphy has programming experience and has coded privacy software. John realizes that maybe he can actually create Fakeblock, so he asks to see the software.

Lottie Dottie's next witness is Warden Gentles, who knows a Davenport family secret, which he learned from Tina. Recently, at Bailey and Bree's insistence, Tina met with the Warden to get Doug, Angela, and Louis released for the July 2nd parade, and she got so drunk, she confessed secrets. Gentles had also heard about Imagine Entertainment's streaming series about the BSSSD, so he wanted to give that info to Jesse, and hopefully screenwrite for him. Jesse heard all the secrets and used them in his show "Making of Monsters", which he filmed by using a timeship while renting the beach cottage.

In 2028, Karen goes upstairs and sees Eunice and Nora trying to take the kids on the cruise anyway. Tina and Bailey try to talk Liv, Maddie, Parker, and Joey out of witnessing the ensuing fight, then start an argument with Karen, Nora, and Eunice about what a terrible parent she is in the hallway. Eunice says there's some kind of endowment, and Karen wanted it so she could have a cottage on the beach. Nora and Eunice both agree that the kids are now in their 30s and deserve to know the truth. Doug, Angela, and Louis walk in on the escalating argument between Tina, Bailey, and the three women, and misunderstand their words, thinking that Eunice and Nora are kidnappers coming for them. Doug aggressively knocks both of them down and Angela and Louis toss the bodies down the stairs, with Bree, Kaz, Cody, Chase, Riley, Lucas, Smackle, Evelyn, and Josh looking on in absolute shock.

Warden Gentles says this death is portrayed exactly as Tina told him, so Lottie says Doug, Angela, and Louis are obviously murderers and must have killed Evie in the same way, by pushing her down the stairs. Doug yells at Tina for selling him out to Warden Gentles, and he says she told him that he wouldn't get into trouble. At the same time, Bree and Louis, in addition to Bailey and Angela, have heated conflicts.

To the delight of Edna and Brownie, Murphy demonstrates his privacy software to John and Ann.
