Brendan's latest film is about a group of volunteers planning to build a homeless shelter in downtown LA. But things fall apart when he offers the architect a can of Mace with which to defend himself from the local homeless community.

When Ruta Lee sends Gary to a fashionista for a makeover he thinks he's a victim of the TV show Punk'd.
