Synopsis
- "Odd couple Skinner and Chalmers embark on an 800-mile car ride to Cincinnati to attend an administrator's convention. But whether they reach their destination without killing each other first is anyone's guess."
Plot
At the school, a staff reunion is held by Chalmers, talking about principal Duggins situation in the school, and about the national administrator's convention, EDU-CON, in Cincinnati, and decides to take Finch as his plus-one instead of Skinner.
During detention, Bart urges Skinner to step up his game to win the spot, and when Finch calls Chalmers informing him of being sick, Skinner takes his chance, and Chalmers agrees reclutantly. However, on board, Chalmers has panic attacks due to his fear of flights and they get kicked out upon landing back at Springfield International Airport.
Their only other choice is to travel together on Agnes' Buick for 800 miles. Bored by Skinner's discussions on chili, Chalmers pick up some hitchhikers, which start improvising Shakespeare, annoying him more, to the point of almost colliding with a truck and ending up hitting a silo, destroying the car, with their wallets and luggage inside.
At the Conklin County Courthouse, Judge J.T. Winchester is in a bad mood when her son did her manicure badly, so Skinner fixes her up and she gives them a new car to ride on, her Cutlass.
Halfway through the journey, they stop at The Greasy Chain, a cyclist bar, and ask for beers, but the bartender points out they don't serve them, and Chalmers starts a chain of events where the cyclist start following them on the road, enraged by the name calling and him breaking their bike computers.
