To make amends, Earl decides to give Josh a free massage courtesy of Tammy, Camden's only "legit" masseuse. However, when Randy and Earl arrive at the man's apartment, they find him dead - the victim of an accident in a retractable bed. The death saddens Earl but brightens up Joy, who sings "Ding Dong, the witch is dead!" Meanwhile, Randy tells Earl that he needs a new apartment for his pretty new "greencard wife," Catalina.
