Synopsis
Rigby tries to bring Mordecai back from a bizarre land of dudes also known as Dumptown USA.

Plot
The episode opens with Rigby playing video games with Eileen in order to decide where they will go for lunch. Just as Rigby wins, Benson comes in to remind Rigby of his chores. Rigby insists on waiting for Mordecai to come help him, but the two realize they don't know where he is, noting that no one has seen him in the two weeks since CJ broke up with him during "Dumped at the Altar". Benson comments that he has tried to call him, but Rigby finds Mordecai's phone in between the couch (with 300+ missed calls from Benson).

Searching for Mordecai, Rigby finds an advertisement of "Dumptown USA" under Mordecai's mattress, a bizarre place consisting entirely of men struggling through breakups. Rigby shows the advertisement to Benson, but Benson knows all too well of the town already, revealing he has been there on at least four different occasions, including after his breakup with. After flashbacks of his time there, Benson informs Rigby that the only way to get there is to get dumped.

Learning he has to be dumped, Rigby convinces Eileen to fake dumping him. However, she acts it out too well to the point that Rigby almost believes he was dumped for real. Fortunately, Sad Sax Guy sees the whole ordeal and buys the breakup, taking him to Dumptown USA (oddly enough by flying).

When they arrive, Rigby sets out to investigate. He is disgusted as he sees everyone is wearing a robe, is unbathed, and generally unhygienic. Arriving at a market, he asks a local about Mordecai, but is mortified to discover that the stranger is Mordecai, and is shocked by his drastic appearance overhaul. Mordecai, trying to justify Dumptown USA, shows him around the town.

Disgusted by the hygiene lacking and aimless lifestyle of Dumptown USA, Rigby tries convincing Mordecai that the town is horrible, but to no avail. Finally, he gets through to Mordecai when he notes that he's been there for two weeks (Mordecai was under the impression it had only been two days). Having finally taken a good look at himself and his surroundings, he and Rigby make a run for it. However, the roommates he was living with, needing someone to bring them food whenever they were hungry (Mordecai's job), give chase. Finally losing them by jumping over a bridge, Sad Sax Guy flies them away.

Mordecai and Rigby are back at the Park, where they are promptly yelled at by Benson. The episode ends with Rigby getting a call from Eileen, apparently being nagged about an Ethiopian restaurant she's wanted to try.
