Jane and Tom have another argument when he eats some of her art supplies, quite by accident. So, she calls Daria to ask if she would like to accompany her to the new Sam’s Club-esque warehouse store called PayDay. Daria agrees, but only on the condition that her friend buys her a slice afterward. Meanwhile, Quinn steals one of Daria’s bootlaces to repair her satchel thing, and another item is added to the shopping list. They arrive and immediately get hopelessly lost.
Later, the Thompson’s have a barbecue and invite all of the students and faculty of LHS. Unfortunately, Mr. O’Neill, who was in charge of picking up the food, forgot to get the BBQ sauce, so Mrs. Thompson sends Kevin to the said store to get some. Much to her dismay, Brittany decides to tag along as well.
Ms. Li kicks Mr. DeMartino out of the barbecue and he strikes out for PayDay to get an industrial sized bag of toilet paper, but only succeeds in getting into a huge war with Ms. Johansen over Cheese Logs.
The Fashion Club shows up looking for suntan lotion and they become completely repulsed by all that they see.
Finally, Tom arrives at the Lanes’ looking to make up with Jane. Trent and Jesse answer the door and tell him where she was. The three head out for PayDay, as Trent needs a new headlight anyway and Jesse wants some incense, or something.
So, eventually nearly all the cast winds up at the store, then are trapped there when Mr. DeMartino causes a blackout.
Another terrific ensemble episode, I loved Tom in this one. Seeing him deal with Trent and Jesse’s
incompetence was just hilarious and his “Who, me?” look was priceless.
