Plot

The episode starts at Riley's house where his dad berates Riley on his bad grade in school, and he says if Riley keeps these grades up he's going to end up flipping burgers, or working at the auto parts store, or flipping burgers at the auto parts store for the rest of his life. Riley doesn't really care about that stuff and he continues to text his friends. Riley says that he has a party to get to, but his father says he's not going anywhere tonight and confiscates his phone because he's now grounded, so Riley's father is locking Riley in his room all weekend and orders him to fold the laundry all weekend. Riley is angry that he can't go anywhere tonight and he wishes for a way to sneak out, Uncle Grandpa pops out of the laundry bin, and gives Riley a hand with the laundry. Uncle Grandpa lays an egg and Laundry Lizard hatches and starts to fold the laundry. Now that Uncle Grandpa finished his work here, he asks Riley if there are any others that need help, Riley says he still needs help, Riley needs help getting out of the house, Uncle Grandpa suggests why doesn't he get walk out the front door that's how he got in, but Riley claims to be allergic to doors and Uncle Grandpa understands because he's allergic to windows. Uncle Grandpa asks Belly Bag for a downstairs outdoor portal door, but Belly Bag is on a date with another fanny pack, Belly Bag gives Uncle Grandpa the portal door then Belly Bag's date leaves him. Riley thanks Uncle Grandpa for being a complete loser and when he leaves his father says he doesn't want to hear any laughing in there when he's grounded because he's grounded, Uncle Grandpa questions himself that Riley was supposed to be grounded and goes to the window and sees Riley take off and realizes that he tricked him.

Uncle Grandpa is then driving the RV while making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, while Uncle Grandpa eats the sandwich he breaks through the guard rail and crashes the RV. Uncle Grandpa says the crash was crazy and is glad the windshield was there to soften the landing, Pizza Steve and Mr. Gus are ok from the crash, and Mr. Gus said he found Riley and he wants this over with so he could go for a haircut in 20 minutes, Uncle Grandpa said to not worry because when we're done we're all getting haircuts. The trio are behind a bush watching Riley and his friends partying as Uncle Grandpa tries to come up with a plan to get Riley back into his room before his father to notice he snuck out. Uncle Grandpa drops into the party as a police officer and tries to convince Riley to go back to his room, Riley could see through Uncle Grandpa's disguise, Uncle Grandpa has a banana for a gun, and a starfish for a badge, then Uncle Grandpa calls to abort the mission and a helicopter full of Uncle Grandpas come and rescue him. Pizza Steve suggests to go in a crash the party but when he goes in and tries to crash it, he turns that party into a pizza party, and then they continue to party. Uncle Grandpa then suggests to have Mr. Gus go in and scare all the teens, but they cheered for Mr. Gus and then he joined the party. Uncle Grandpa then tells Riley that there's a super extra super cool party, Riley asks where is it and Uncle Grandpa says that it's over there, then Uncle Grandpa opens the door and rainbows start to come out, along with a unicorn and $100 bills telling them to come and join the party, Uncle Grandpa lets everyone expect Riley into the party, and Riley gives Uncle Grandpa a little speech of how he'll never sneak out again and he's sorry for it, then Uncle Grandpa lets Riley into the party.

Once Riley enters the party the whole place turns into a nightmare in a matter of seconds and all of Riley's friends turn into monsters and they all say that Riley shouldn't have snuck out and that he's going to party with them forever. Riley meets up with a monster Pizza Steve with Mr. Gus pepperonis and Riley is stuck in Monster Pizza Steve's cheese. Riley is trapped dangling from the cheese, and he finally realizes that he shouldn't have tricked Uncle Grandpa into sneaking him out of his room, Uncle Grandpa accepts Riley's apology and tells Riley to sneak out of the party, and the door out appears. Riley then frees himself and runs towards the exit, running away from all of his monster friends, and once Riley entered the door out he realizes that he’s back in his room again. The Laundry Lizard welcomes Riley back into his room and tells Riley that he folded all of his laundry, Riley freaks out and realizes he never folded it, he pushes Laundry Lizard and starts to refold the laundry. Uncle Grandpa pops out and tells Riley "did you learn your lesson and you're not going to sneak out of your room any more?", Riley doesn't even want to think about sneaking out ever again and states he's never going to leave his room again. Riley's father comes in and tells Uncle Grandpa that he never lets him down, Riley suspects that was his plan all along, then Uncle Grandpa and Riley's dad jump together in the air.
