"Do Me a Solid" is the eighteenth episode of Regular Show's second season. It first aired on May 2, 2011.
Synopsis[]
Rigby uses his "solids" to ruin Mordecai's date with Margaret.
Plot[]
Mordecai and Rigby decide to play a game of "Solids" (a game of which one must do a favor for the other). They do each other solids such as getting a glass of lemonade, changing the TV channel, folding a pair of socks, drying their hands, and heavily cheesing nachos. Skips warns the duo not to abuse the power of the solid as bad things will happen.
Eventually, they head to the Coffee Shop, where Eileen (nervously) asks Rigby if he would be interested in miniature golf with her and Margaret. Mordecai finally sees this opportunity to have a date with Margaret, but the catch being that Margaret will only agree if Rigby will go with Eileen; in the end, Mordecai and Rigby go on a double date after Mordecai asks him to do him a solid for going out with Eileen, with the consequence of Mordecai owing Rigby 10 solids.
On the double date, the four go miniature golfing, and see a movie, where Rigby uses his solids to ruin Mordecai's chances with Margaret. The group eventually heads back to the house, and settle on having ice cream sandwiches before the night ends. Rigby uses his ninth solid to get Mordecai to buy the ice cream after noticing they have run out of the ice cream sandwiches.
Mordecai arrives back with the snacks, and finds out that Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost were invited, much to his dismay. Left with his last solid, Rigby calls Mordecai to the kitchen and whispers a certain solid to him. Mordecai rejects this instantly because of its presumably embarrassing nature, and decides to not do it, ignoring Rigby's advise that he "must" do the solid. Upon declining this request of Rigby, the ground begins to rumble and the tremors increasingly become more violent.
Mordecai tries to spend some time with Margaret, but he's prevented form doing so when the house begins to collapse into the ground. The staircase gets ripped in half, the couch falls into a hole, with Muscle Man jumping off and grabbing onto the floor, and Eileen holding on tight to tilted rock. As Rigby continues to demand Mordecai to do his solid, Benson, Pops and Skips arrive and discover that Rigby's 10th solid tells Mordecai to do his solid, but Mordecai simply refuses. Margaret then begs Mordecai to do his solid since she and Eileen do each other solids all the time, also revealing that she came on the double-date because she was only doing Eileen a solid in the process. This only disappoints Mordecai, and the house collapses even further. After Rigby tells Mordecai that he and the rest of the park gang are going to die if he doesn't do the solid, Mordecai reluctantly caves in. He does his solid (off-screen), shocking the entire group in the process.
The next day, things have returned to normal and Rigby is showing off a video of Mordecai's solid to Muscle Man, HFG, and Pops, having recorded him while it was happening. This humiliating video only angers Mordecai to the point that he disowns Rigby as his friend.
Upset, Rigby stops Mordecai, saying that he (Rigby) owes him a solid, apparently a solid that involves destroying the tape of Mordecai. Rigby willingly snaps the tape in half, to which Mordecai asks Rigby to do him a solid and head to the arcade with him.
