Synopsis

Cold open

Dr. Weird introduces the thermostat. He turns it all the way up. Steve asks if it is on, and Dr. Weird catches on fire.

Plot

Master Shake failed to pay the bills (instead flushing them down the toilet because he thinks they're too expensive), and the Aqua Teens lose the use of their utilities including their cable, electricity, phone and water. Frylock tries to get Shake to be more responsible by informing him that he cannot live like this for long since he is so used to the light and cable, but this only makes Shake mooch off Carl instead. In a failed attempt to get Shake out of his house with his gun, Carl accidentally shoots himself in the foot while Shake is watching TV and eating pretzels as if nothing is happening.

Meanwhile, Meatwad is trying to make himself a weenie smoothie, but can't due to the fact that there's no electricity to power the blender. Meatwad decides that he has to make a weenie smoothie manually, by using a lawnmower with the handle weighed down by bricks. Shake watches with enthusiasm (probably hoping the lawnower will fall on Meatwad), and asks Carl if he's watching. Carl is still looking at his wounded foot, commenting on how he's losing blood, to which Shake comments that he has plenty of blood. Carl attempts to drag the phone to himself, making Shake know that he wants the phone. Shake gets the phone for Carl, commenting on how they have a vibe, and stepping on his wound. He then dials the phone, and, much to Carl's chagrin, calls a doctor-themed sandwich shop called Dr. Cheesesteak, and orders a sandwich for them, while Carl silently mutters how he will blow Shake away. Shake then asks Carl if he wants yellow peppers, to which Carl calls out for help, to which Shake just takes as meaning no. Hanging up, he tells Carl he has his back (referring to the sandwich he ordered), and asks him for money needed to pay for the sandwich.

Meatwad has finished his weenie smoothie, and goes over to an astounded Frylock, asking him if he wants one, to which Frylock astoundedly says no. Shake then comes out of the house asking Meatwad to make him a weenie smoothie, causing Carl's screams for a doctor to reach the outside world. Frylock goes in to help Carl, and lifts up his wounded ankle, causing Carl to scream in pain. As Frylock explains to Carl that he needs to keep his foot elevated to reduce the bleeding, Carl's foot then detaches from his ankle. Shake comments that they need to get it on ice, he pushes away Carl's cooler, which is stocked with ice, saying he needs the hospital's ice. Frylock then slowly takes a screaming Carl to the nearest hospital in the Danger Cart, which, given the speed they're going at, takes hours.

Carl is returned home, with his detached foot stitched to his forehead (his HMO didn't know how to approach a detached foot, so they did that), and placed on horse pills, which he starts overdosing on, leading him to hallucinate. Meanwhile, the electricity has come back on at the Aqua Teens house, which leads Frylock to believe that Shake paid the bills, to which he said, "Hell no, I pay no bills. I pay you no mind." Frylock then comments that he's at least happy that Shake accepted some responsibility "in the most ass way possible". Apparently, Shake restored the Aqua Teens' electricity by using multiple extension cords and multi-outlets to divert Carl's electricity to the Aqua Teens' house. However, the cords were all wired together badly, causing Carl's house to be set on fire (which, due to Carl's delirium from the pills, doesn't make him angry, but rather he finds it to be funny). Frylock offers Carl to stay at their house "as long as he has those pills", to which Carl responds by saying "Thank you, daddy", and lying down on the ground next to an anthill, causing several ants to start crawling all over him. Shake makes Carl think he found the guest bedroom, and tells him that if he needs to go, just go. Frylock goes over to Shake angrily, and Carl says not to argue with him because "he's had a long day". Shake finishes by saying that if he needs anything else, that there are ants on his body.
