Paul motivates Gonzo to pursue songwriting, leading to some peculiar creations. One of Gonzo's pieces goes, "For youuu... I'd shampoo with smelly glue, I'd roast my legs and munch them too, I'd slip a spider in my shoe -- for yoouuuu!" Paul is taken aback. Later, Gonzo's chickens flee with Paul, prompting Gonzo to fixate on asparagus instead. However, in a twist at the episode's conclusion, both the chickens and the asparagus escape when Paul orders chicken accompanied by asparagus.
