Plot: Simon (Charlie Tahan) is riding his bicycle to the community center when he sees that a construction crew beginning to dig up the earth at the old little league field. He asks what is going on, and the workers say that the property is going to be redeveloped as a condominium complex. Simon, panicking, rides quickly to the community center, but the only other misfit there is Nathan (Moises Arias) who is brushing his teeth. When Alisha (Odeya Rush), Kelly (Jaylen Barron) and Curtis (Jonathan Daviss) arrive, Nathan and Simon quickly inform them about the construction. Just then, their new probation arrives to supervise their community service - Sally (Olivia Taylor Dudley). Sally asks the misfits if they know anything about Tony's abrupt disappearance. Nathan decides to answer for the group, making a series of jokes at Tony's expense. Sally grows angry and tells the group that they need to sort through a giant pile of donated clothes, organizing them by gender and size. She then retires to the office.

That night, the misfits go to the construction site and dig up the bodies. Unsure of where to hide them for now, Nathan suggests that they hide them in the trunk of Sally's car. Simon questions why, and Nathan explains that the significant other is always the first suspect in a murder, so if Sally does end up checking her trunk and finds the bodies, she'll probably deal with getting rid of them herself. The misfits find Sally asleep inside the community center office.

In the morning, Sally quickly finds the bodies in the trunk of her car. Curtis manages to turn back time 10 seconds before she finds them. Knowing that she's about to find the bodies once again, Nathan throws a brick through her windshield. Nathan tries to claim he was trying to kill a mosquito he saw so it wouldn't give him AIDs from some New Jersey blood. Sally, frustrated, goes inside to call her insurance company. The misfits take the bodies back to the construction site, finding a freshly dug hole. They jump and and bury the bodies underneath the hole.

Later in the day, the misfits all eat sandwiches as they watch a cement truck fill in the hole, covering the bodies of Tony and Gary under several feet of cement. Simon then reveals to the others that during the commotion with Sally, he stole Tony's credit card and bought a one-way ticket to Mexico to make it look like he has fled abroad.

Alisha and Curtis begin flirting, but she touches him, forgetting about her powers. Alisha decides that her powers can be used for her benefit after all, making Curtis desperately want to have sex with her. They go and have sex in Nathan's closet. Nathan sees them leave after. He opens the door and takes a big sniff, commenting that it smells like sex in there now. He shrugs and goes to take a nap.

End Credits Song: "Do You Wanna Touch Me" - Joan Jett & The Blackhearts
