The episode starts out with Gladys announcing that she has some shocking news through her megaphone. Zuri and Ravi, jokingly guess that she got stood up on another date, which happens every weekend. Gladys then revealed that after this summer, the camp is shutting down permanently. Tiffany asks why the camp is closing and Gladys says its closing because there weren't enough applicants for next year. Two things happen at Camp Kikiwaka every summer. Someone gets food poisoning and Gladys says the camp is going to close. This according to Lou, who tells the others not to worry when Gladys announces that this will be the last summer at camp.
While food poisoning is more or less a certainty when Gladys shows off the camp’s new website it becomes painfully obvious why there haven’t been any registrations for the next summer. The new promo video for the site is one long 1980s cliche complete with phrases like “nuclear arms race,” “hacky sacking,” “totally tubular" and “acid washing jeans.”
Emma, Xander, and Lou decide the best way to update the video with something from “this century” is to host a webcast. But the webcast hits a snag when Gladys starts auctioning off items in the camp right in the middle of the webcast. Bickering between the Ross clan and company only make the webcast worse as people walk off with items Gladys has auctioned off. When Emma and Xander try to show off their tetherball skills, they have to use a brick instead of the tetherball Gladys sells for five dollars.
It turns out the best way to make the webcast a success was to not try because when Emma, Xander and Lou inadvertently film themselves making up and having a heart to heart about their friendship the webcast audience responds. Three-hundred camp registrations later, Camp Kikiwaka is saved.
The episode ends with an "updated" version of the 1980's video, with Gladys, Xander, Emma, Lou, Zuri and Tiffany dancing. Emma steps out, asking if Ravi is actually recording it, and he says no, as he is watching cat videos.
This episode provides examples of:
- Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Lou mentions that if the camp closed, she will miss Xander and his guitar, calling it the soundtrack of her summers. Xander's actor sings the theme for the series (for the seasons he appeared).
