Synopsis

Plot
The episode begins with Benson, Skips, Pops, Muscle Man, Hi Five Ghost, Rigby, Mordecai, and Thomas all outside, listening to Benson who is making a presentation about surviving in the wilderness. They are in a remote area in the woods, away from the park. However, Mordecai and Rigby are not listening to Benson; instead, they are playing handheld video games. When Benson is done, he tells Mordecai and Rigby to get tortillas so that they can make quesadillas. Rigby and Mordecai protest, because they thought Benson was going to grill burgers. Benson tells them that he had reminded them many times that they were having quesadillas, then sends Mordecai and Rigby to the store to get them.



As they are driving back from the store, they notice that they are running late, so they take a "shortcut" that is an unpaved road through the woods. As they go deeper and deeper in the woods, Rigby says he didn't put fuel in the cart; as a result, the cart runs out of fuel, and stops. Mordecai tries to use the phone to contact Benson, but there is no signal.

Mordecai decides that they have to walk, but as they are walking, they come to a fork in the road. They start to walk through trees and bushes, cross a river, and go down a mountain. After this, it becomes nighttime, and they are lost. Rigby knows that they have to get something to eat. Mordecai says not to eat the tortillas, so they try to eat tree bark.



Suddenly, Mordecai looks at Rigby and Rigby looks 8-bit as a result of Mordecai seeing things. Rigby looks at Mordecai and sees him as a taco. Mordecai asks Rigby where he got the idea of eating tree bark, and Rigby says that it was a show where people go crazy from eating things that aren't food. They both start imagining crazy and weird illusions. After this happens, they dicide that they needed to find real food, and that they needed to try to remember from Benson's wilderness presentation. They remembered Benson saying to wear laying to survive the cold,



so they made coats out of the tortillas.

Many days pass, and Mordecai and Rigby survived b remembering what Benson had said about survival. They made tools out of tortillas. Eventually, after many days, it started to snow. Rigby and Mordecai both thought they were going to die, but then Rigby remembered Benson saying that they needed to find a cell phone signal. Mordecai got out his phone— to see that there was 1% battery remaining. They both ran in the snow, trying to find a cell phone signal before the phone died. When they found a signal, they called Benson— and heard Benson's phone ringing two meters away. They looked to see Benson ,  Skips ,  Pops ,  Muscle Man, and  Hi Five Ghost standing there in the same place as before. Benson said that he knew all that was going to happen, and that it had onlyy been a few hours. He also said that he had backup burgers, but Mordecai and Rigby couldn't have any.
