Mr. Gus asks Uncle Grandpa if isn't it a little too dangerous, that's exactly what he said and that Pizza Steve informed him that his middle name is "Dangerous" which totally shocks him because he always thought that Pizza Steve's middle name was Walter. Uncle Grandpa had let go of Pizza Steve's kite board and he falls through the roof of the RV, the Zebra Head spits him out and he lands straight on the ground, Uncle Grandpa is crying in agony and tells Pizza Steve that he's sorry and he blames Mr. Gus with distracting him with the lame devil sticks, Pizza Steve wants his shades and Uncle Grandpa puts the shades on him, Pizza Steve notices that they're broken and the two cry in pain.

Mr. Gus is sure that he'll be fine and informs Uncle Grandpa that they should fix that hole in the roof before something gets in the RV like some kind of animal, Uncle Grandpa yells at Mr. Gus saying NOT NOW MR. GUS! CAN'T YOU SEE THAT WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY?!?! and tells him that Pizza Steve's shades are ruined and he proceeds to run in side with Pizza Steve but falls and lands on Pizza Steve causing more pain.

Uncle Grandpa puts the shades on Pizza Steve's face and he asks what he thinks about them, Pizza Steve carefully judges them on tint, tipping angle, tude power, and he finally accepts them which makes Uncle Grandpa so happy and he proceeds to hug Pizza Steve, he welcomes Uncle Grandpa and tells him that he still needs his recovery space and Uncle Grandpa happily backs away until he hears scratching sounds coming from the ceiling. Mr. Gus walks through the hallway and Uncle Grandpa stops him to ask about the scratching noise, Mr. Gus said that he was right that they should've fixed the hole in the roof and now there's probably something living in their attic, and Uncle Grandpa questions about them having an attic.

Uncle Grandpa opens the door to the attic and sees that it's really dark, Mr. Gus tells him to feel around for a light switch, Uncle Grandpa is very unsure that there is anything around there and then a giant spider walks towards him, he feels around the giant spider and notices that it's Harold and Uncle Grandpa asks Harold where can he find the light switch, Harold opens his gross mouth and reveals a flashlight that Uncle Grandpa can use, after he receives the flashlight, Uncle Grandpa gives Harold a kiss as his reward. With the flashlight Uncle Grandpa then looks around the attic to see anything out of place and he doesn't find anything until a giant bird with human arms starts to workout right in front of him. Uncle Grandpa tells the guys about the giant bird working out and Mr. Gus realizes that the giant bird is Birdman and he chose to nest in the RV. Uncle Grandpa is confused about Birdman and MR. Gus tells him the story about how Birdman choses the perfect place to perch and how it's very difficult to get him to leave.
