'''A Plot:''' Wanda is attracted to the man that delivers milk to Corner Gas, but continuously fails at flirting with him. In an attempt to show him her sense of humor, she writes "Wash Me" on the side of Hank's dirty truck. Hank takes umbrage at this, as he uses his truck as an improvised notepad. When Wanda does get the delivery man's phone number, she writes it on Hank's truck due to her pen not working, only for the truck to get washed soon after.

'''B Plot:''' Oscar's deodorant runs out, so he uses Emma's. When Emma finds out, she gets revenge by using Oscar's usual cleaning products. This switch of scents leads to Brent thinking his sense of smell is broken.
