Plot
The episode opens on a shot of Justin and Vinnie standing in a mall. Vinnie asks Justin, "What the hell is blank_mickey?" To this Justin simply replies, "It's the show." The two continue to laugh as Vinnie attempts to understand what Justin means.

The camera cuts to Justin sitting alone in a room and explaining that he is making a show out of footage he will record while carrying his camera with him at all times.

Justin introduces the audience to his narration voice calling himself "the omniscient narrator." The narrator explains that the show will at times be boring and at times be fun, while the camera quickly switches between scenes introducing characters such as Vinnie, Rachel, Donald, and Erin.

Justin explains through narration that the small room he is sitting in is at his college's library and that he ended up reading graffiti on the walls instead of working on a report he was trying to finish. This cuts briefly to footage of some of the cast at the pagoda in Reading Pennsylvania during Thanksgiving break.

The narrator explains that they went to pick up Donald and had awkward conversations along the way. This cuts to a scene in a car where Rachel claims Vinnie and her father shared a bowl of chile "off the same spoon." The scene ends with footage of the cast waiting for Donald outside his work at the movie theater.

After briefly being pulled over by police for "acting like jackasses," the cast reconvene at Rachel's dorm for pie.

The remainder of the episode is the cast goofing off while Justin insists that they are not gay.
