Earl Hickey is initially placed in the same cell as Ralph Mariano, but Ralph later escapes, leaving a big hole, and forcing Earl to have to live in the general prisoners' quarters. He reunites with friend and fellow prisoner Sonny, who suggests that he try to stay invisible as possible in prison. This is made harder when he discovers that someone on his list named Glen is in prison and is ready to kill him. Meanwhile Randy is having a hard time living without Earl. Seeing that Joy is eager to repay Earl for going to prison in her place, he requests that she and Darnell take Randy in. After waiting for Glen to tire out from killing him, Earl asks Glen what he wants, at which Glen asks for Earl to make him a shiv. Earl does so but he then gets stabbed by the shiv. Earl finds that the key to surviving in prison is not to be anonymous like Sonny but to be himself. He learns that Glen has purposely sabotaged his own chances of getting out of prison when his sentence was up, so Earl then helps Glen do something he could not do before: earn his final scout badges. Joy tries to get Randy to start thinking for himself instead of relying on Earl to help him through life. | ||||||||||||||

Earl reunites with Frank, an old friend and now fellow inmate.

After Patty's client shows off a fancy watch, Earl and Randy go to steal it, only to find that Frank and his housemate Paco are also after it. The four agree to split the proceeds, and then plan a larger-scale robbery of an Indian casino with guns. Meanwhile, Joy, who had become visibly pregnant with her first child, had also been looking for a place to stay as well as a sugar daddy, considering local celebrity TV's Tim Stack. She later gets Earl drunk and they go to Las Vegas for a shotgun wedding, while Randy is distracted from a cartoon marathon. Catalina, who was prompted by Paco, arrives in Camden County and meets Darnell who had just gotten out of the FBI van to begin his new identity under the witness protection program. Frank and Paco have a successful robbery, using Howie Mandel as a hostage, but Paco gets distracted from seeing Catalina on the road and crashes into the FBI van. With Frank headed to prison, Earl, Joy, and Randy end up living at his trailer and use his El Camino. | ||||||||||||||
