'''A Plot:''' Oscar and Brent are off on their annual camping trip and, when Davis expresses his interest, Emma forces the guys to take him along. Davis gets a rude awakening when Brent and Oscar admit they never actually go camping, but just use the trip as an excuse to go do other things separately. When it dawns on them that Davis can't keep a secret, they realize they have to actually go through with the camping trip. Brent and Oscar's grumpiness takes a toll on Davis's enthusiasm, and by the end none of them are having fun.
