(S04E03) Typically, an episode of Reno 911! will have some semblance of a plot, but the bulk of the episode will be random scenes involving the officers. This particular episode actually stuck with its main plot of the officers discovering a jet ski once owned by a deceased officer, and only veered from that plot a couple of times.

One of the best "extra" scenes involved Trudi going to Lamaze class, once again with Paul Rudd playing the instructor. The two become rather cozy in front of the class, with Rudd's character showing Trudi the proper way to massage her breasts to get them to produce milk, and ending with her bent over and him behind her for some inexplicable reason. I'm not positive, but I think right before the scene changes you can see Rudd actually starting to crack up. That's actually one of many great things about this show being completely improvised; if you watch closely there are a lot of scenes where someone begins to lose it. Pay close attention to Tom Lennon whenever they do their PSAs, because he's almost always on the verge of completely cracking up.

Anyway, the basic plot is that a fellow officer who loved drinking and porno died and left behind a jet ski, and the officers are fighting over who gets it. Kimball draws the highest card from the dead officer's deck of porno cards, so she gets it, but is then "accidentally" shot in the hand, which leads to more mistrust within the group, and culminates in Junior setting the jet ski and the truck it's housed in on fire. The reasoning is that even if they're not friends they should at least be cordial co-workers. Like Dangle explains later, they were like a family that would kill each other over the last slice of pizza, and then rape the dead one, even if they were neither hungry nor horny.

Of course, later it's revealed that Junior had actually swiped the jet ski, which really wasn't much of a surprise, but still pretty funny when they decide to just give the "cursed" jet ski to a stranger who promptly crashes it into the back of a camper and goes up in a huge ball of flame.

My favorite moments:

• Dangle and Junior trying to explain why Jones shouldn't get the jet ski but not wanting to sound racist in their explanation. They decide he shouldn't get it because black people don't swim. They're like cats.
• Junior pointing out a constellation he calls "the jackalope," and Dangle telling him that's just something hillbillies make up when they're high.
