Episode Synopsis
Jake and Holt remain in Florida, adjusting to their new lives under the Witness Protection Program, while Jimmy "The Butcher" Figgis is still on the loose. Their one human link to their regular lives is U.S. Marshall Karen Haas, but their anonymity may be in danger when a video of them goes viral.
Plot
It's been six months since the events of "Greg and Larry", and Holt and Jake are in the Witness Protection Program in Florida. Greg(Holt) has gotten use to being in Florida, and has made new friends, while Larry (Jake) is miserable. However, Larry has found a new job working at an ATV salesman, and seems to be doing better.
After meeting with their handler, Karen Haas, Larry goes back to work. However, it turns out he isn't working at the ATV place, but in actuality, is trying to find Jimmy "The Butcher" Figgis because he feels the FBI isn't doing much to stop him, and he wants to go back to Brooklyn to be with Amy. Holt however finds out about this, and while he understands Jake, he tells him they have to adapt to their new location, and tells him to get a real job.
Jake does get a job as assistant manager at the Fun World place Holt works at (who was looking for that position).Jake uses his position to try and humiliate Holt to the point he would return the case files he confiscated. In one instance, both of them get run over by go-karts, and found out that someone was recording the whole situation. Horrified that their covers would be blown if it goes viral, the two agree to work together to find the woman and delete the video. Using their skills, they manage to find Estelle, who refuses to give them the video unless they give her the same exact of cash that would have paid her from views. They do the trade off, but it turns out Jake didn't have the exact cash on him (using coupons as fakes), and they take the phone back during a scuffle. Holt berates Jake for not taking their situation seriously enough, but Jake reveals that he swapped the phones and agrees to stay away from Holt from now on.
