"Eileen Flat Screen" is the seventh episode of season six (and the one-hundred and sixtieth episode overall) of Regular Show. It aired on November 13, 2014.[2]
Synopsis
Rigby helps Eileen set up her flat-screen TV.[3]
Plot
The episode begins at the City College, where it's holding a dance competition. Mordecai, Rigby, and CJ are in attendance. On the stage, a person in a pink rubber suit pretends to look like chewed-up bubblegum. Once the routine is finished, the dance host is about to declare the winner. The host then announces the winner: Eileen for her dance "chewed gum." Eileen pops out of her bubblegum suit, and the host reveals 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 and CJ remark on his kind gesture, Rigby adds that he also plans to set it up for her, in hope that she would be surprised.
At Eileen's house, Rigby's behavior towards the little things he does with Eileen surprises Mordecai and CJ, like knowing where her spare key is for watering her plants (much like Mordecai in the intro to Diary). Once inside, CJ realizes that she already owns a TV, a Hanatronic model that's clearly outdated. Rigby explains it's not Eileen's, it belongs to Eileen's roommate, Joanne. He explains how easily angered Joanne gets when people touch her stuff, especially her TV (highlighted by a flashback which Rigby persuades Eileen to watch a specific program, only for Joanne to spontaneously appear and threaten Eileen).
Back in the present, Rigby gets his tool-belt, including a whip which he explains he and Eileen got it at a Renaissance Fair. When Mordecai questions Rigby why he didn't get invited to the Renaissance Fair, Rigby explains that because he (Mordecai) is usually hanging out with CJ, he should do likewise by hanging out with Eileen. Once the air is cleared, CJ and Mordecai as Rigby if he knows any tricks with his whip. After Rigby's attempt at a whiplash botches a snow globe with Joanne's picture in it, Rigby quickly requests that they begin setting the TV up.
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 huge and it's using the top plug, which cover the bottom plug. Rigby then proceeds to move her plug to the bottom, only for him to imagine 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 of the house with it.
After Joanne hijacks an elderly person's car, Mordecai, Rigby, and CJ begin to chase. Rigby brings 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 evidenced by her constant turning. Joanne begins to retaliate by throwing lotion onto their windshield. Luckily, they're able to wipe it off quickly. Unfortunately, Joanne is successfully able to evade them and they crash after Joanne throws the elderly man's dentures at them. The three then see Joanne on a bridge, prepared to throw the flat-screen off the edge.
Rigby tries to reason with Joanne saying that is was wrong to touch her TV, again surprising Mordecai and CJ. 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 anguish 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 laments their heirloom TV is lying at the bottom of the bridge, and 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 trick 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 manages to set the TV up just before Eileen arrives. Eileen is ecstatic to find out her TV is installed and that Joanne is no longer her roommate. Eileen turns the TV on, and the first thing that appears is the local news as a news reporter interviews people who are shopping at the mall. Mordecai says that they originally wanted to have pizza, but they never had the chance to do so, until Rigby surprises them once again by planning ahead. When the pizza man arrives, 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.
In a surprise twist, once everyone leaves the area of the living room, the news reporter on TV is revealed to be none other than Margaret, who now has a full time job as a news reporter. When the anchor signs off to her, Margaret ends the episode saying with her own sign off, saying "It's good to be back in town."
