Synopsis
Rigby helps Eileen set up her flat-screen TV.

Plot
The episode begins at the City College, where it's holding a dance competition. Mordecai, Rigby, and CJ are seen sitting in the audience. On the stage, a person in a pink rubber suit pretends to look like chewed-up bubblegum. It does some dance gestures on the stage before it jumps right into a trash can to set off a confetti cannon. The audience begins cheering, and the host is prepared to announce the winner of the dance-off. The host declares that Eileen is the winner, and reveals that she's the one who dressed as the bubblegum. The host then shows Eileen her prize: a flat-screen TV, which Eileen highly adores.

Outside of the college, Mordecai, Rigby and CJ congratulate Eileen for winning the competition. Rigby offers to drop off the TV at Eileen's house, which she appreciates. She takes off her bubblegum costume and hurriedly runs to the Coffee Shop to continue her shift. When Mordecai appreciates Rigby's decision to drop the TV off at her house, Rigby tells him he also plans to set it up for her, in hope that she would be surprised.

At Eileen's house, Rigby walks towards a turtle figurine and lifts it up, revealing the key to unlock her house. Rigby claims he knew because he always waters Eileen's garden whenever she's away (a lot like the intro in Diary). Once inside, CJ realizes that she already own a TV, which is one of those only bulky TVs from the 90s. Rigby claims it's not Eileen's, it actually belongs to Eileen's roommate Joanne. He says that Joanne will get really upset if someone messes with her TV. In a flashback, Rigby is hanging out with Eileen at her house, when suddenly, Rigby's watch beeps. He says that a Carter and Briggs reunion special is starting and tries to turn the TV on, but Eileen tells him no, because she fears that Joanne might be around. After some begging, Eileen nervously turns the TV on, and at that moment, Joanne appears out of nowhere, even though she was at the beach. Eileen tries to apologize, but Joanne threateningly says that if she messes with her TV again, she will slap her on the face.

Back in the present, Rigby gets his tools. Mordecai realizes that one of his tools is a whip. Rigby says that he and Eileen got it at a Renaissance Fair. When Mordecai questions Rigby why he didn't get invited to the Renaissance Fair, Rigby says that he always hangs out with CJ, so Rigby should do likewise by hanging out with Eileen. When CJ asks Rigby to perform his whipping skills, Rigby succeeds is smashing a snow globe with Joanne in it. Realizing what he did, Rigby requests that they begin setting up the TV.

After a montage of setting the TV frame up, Rigby prepares to plug the TV in to make sure it works. Unfortunately, Joanne's TV plug is all bulky, and she's using the top plug, which cover the bottom plug. Rigby then proceeds to mover her plug to the bottom, he imagines Joanne's voice saying "I'll slap your face!" This prompts Rigby to question if there's a second outlet. Mordecai looks under a computer desk, but all the outlets are being used. Realizing he has no choice, Rigby moves Joanne's plug onto the bottom. After Rigby plugs the flat-screen in, Joanne appears, who appears to have sensed that someone touched her TV. Joanne notices that Rigby changed the plugs, and since they messed with her TV, she'll mess with theirs. Joanne rips the flat-screen TV off its frame, and runs out the house with it.

After Joanne Grand Theft Auto 's an elderly person's car, Mordecai, Rigby, and CJ begin to chase. Rigby decides to bring Joanne's TV along, saying that if she's going to mess with Eileen's flat-screen, they're going to mess with hers. During the chase, Rigby says that Joanne never thinks, which is why she'll take random turns. Unfortunately, Joanne successfully makes them crash. The three then see Joanne on the bridge, prepared to throw the flat-screen off the edge.

The three successfully reach Joanne before she throws the TV. Rigby tries to reason with Joanne saying that is was wrong to touch her TV. Despite being moved by Rigby's speech that her TV was her best friend since her childhood, she still decides to throw the flat-screen down. Acting quickly, Rigby grabs his whip, and he successfully latches onto the TV just before it hits the bottom. When Joanne requests her TV back, a gust of wind blows her TV off the edge, and it gets destroyed when it hits the bottom.

As Joanne screams in agony over her destroyed TV, a soul pops out of the TV, who is revealed to be the inheritance lawyer of Joanne's family. The ghost pulls out his phone and the tells the person on the other line "She failed." At that moment, a limo appears, and Joanne's grandfather come out. He criticizes that their heirloom TV is lying on the bottom of a bridge, all destroyed, and he blames Joanne for this. It is also revealed that Joanne's last name is Hanatronic, meaning her family is the maker of the TV. Joanne tries to brush it off by saying that it still works, but the doesn't work, as shown when a seagull begins choking on its bulky plug. Because of her failing to keep the TV safe, she must give up her "modern" life, and she can no longer stay at Eileen's house. She enters the limo, and she and her grandfather drive off. When Rigby tries to figure out what just happened, the lawyer tells them that Joanne requested to live in the "lower" class society. She got permission under one condition: protect the family heirloom; the original TV her family's company produced. Now seeing it destroyed, he says that a better choice was to put it in a safe instead, and she will no longer inherit the company. When CJ asks what will happen to her, the lawyer tells them that Joanne will live in high society in the Hanatronic Family Mansion. The lawyer then vanishes, and Joanne's Hanatronic TV begins to fade away, which makes CJ figure out why Joanne didn't want people to touch her TV.

Back at Eileen's house, the trio manage to set the TV up just before Eileen arrives. Eileen gets all excited when she finds that her TV is installed and Joanne is no longer her roommate. Rigby then gives Eileen the remote, and she turns the TV on, and the first thing that appears is the local news. Mordecai says that they originally wanted to have pizza, but they never had the chance to do so, until Rigby tells them he planned ahead. At that moment, the doorbell rings, and it's the pizza guy. Mordecai and Rigby head to the door to grab the pizza, and Eileen and CJ go into the kitchen to grab the soda and plates.

With everybody out of the room, we cut back to the TV News report, where it is revealed that the news reporter is none other than Margaret (she's back baby!!), who now has a full time job as a news reporter. When the news host tells Margaret to stay warm, Margaret ends the episode saying that she's glad to be back in town.
