Stan and Kyle set out to build a clubhouse (
tree house ) so they can playTruth or Dare with Wendy and Bebe. Stan believes he will be dared to kiss his girlfriend, Wendy, and Bebe, who has developed a crush on Kyle, saying he has a "sweet ass", plans to dare Kyle to kiss her. Kyle is reluctant to play, as he has no interest in girls yet, but is assured by Stan's lies, telling him that it's just "so we can make them eat bugs." Cartman and Kenny learn of Stan and Kyle's plans and set about building their own clubhouse based on the schematics for "Ewok Village 2000." Naturally Kenny, as the worker, does the lion's share of the labor- for example, skipping school to wait for thehot tub guys to call. Meanwhile, Cartman, foreman of the project, slacks off by eating Cheesy Poofs and watching television.Meanwhile, Stan's parents' marriage begins to break down. Randy and Sharon
divorce due to constant bickering despite Mr. Mackey's attempts at marriage counseling. Sharon does not seem to dwell on the break-up too long, however, and introduces Stan to a newstepfather , Roy, who promptly moves into the family home. Initially Roy seems wholesome and understanding but he quickly loses patience at Stan's failure to "cut him some slack," especially following repeated demands for Stan's help chopping firewood.Stan is banned from watching
Terrance and Phillip by his mom and is made to watch a show called Fat Abbot instead, which quickly turns out to be just as profane. It always starts with Fat Abbot saying "Hey! Hey! Hey!, What's going on Rudy?" Stan and Kyle like this show at once.Meanwhile, Cartman and Kenny complete their clubhouse first, and Kenny manages to get two girls who have run away from their nagging mothers to hang out with them. Their attempts to get the girls to play Truth or Dare ultimately fail and Kenny dies in a mosh pit in the club house. Stan and Kyle eventually finish their clubhouse despite not being allowed to use nails.
Eventually, Sharon tells Stan that he must go to visitation with his father, calling Randy a "bastard" when discussing the subject with Stan. For his part, Randy Marsh is apparently enjoying single life. He has bought a red Corvette
convertible , is wearing an earring, flirts with girls at traffic lights and turns up at a party in Cartman's clubhouse organized by the runaway girls. Like Sharon, Randy assures Stan that nothing is more "important" to him as his son, but speeds away before Stan can even react to this statement.Later on, the girls come over to Stan and Kyle's clubhouse to play Truth or Dare. Following Chef's advice, Stan attempts to play it cool; however Kyle jumps in and picks dare. Wendy dares him to "kiss Bebe on the lips." Pressured, Kyle goes through with it but freaks out and runs out of the clubhouse screaming, "Sick!" with Bebe still marvelling at his "sweet ass." Subsequently, Bebe breaks up with Kyle (who was unaware they were actually going out) and instantly replaces him with Clyde. Stan and Clyde play Truth or Dare with Wendy and Bebe. At last Stan gets to ask for a dare, expecting to be asked to kiss Wendy. However, Wendy and Bebe confer, and dare Stan to "Take this twig and jam it up your peehole." By the end of the episode, Randy and Sharon have gotten back together as Stan sets them up for a meeting in his clubhouse. Having met in a clubhouse years before while playing "Truth or Dare?", they have a passionate reconciliation, with Sharon admitting she still loves Randy and dares Randy to "do her" right in the clubhouse. As Randy and Sharon start to make love, Roy winds up hanging from a tree in a bear trap, an idea Stan got from watching Fat Abbot.
