A Plot: Brent installs a security camera at the gas station, but Hank sees it as a breach of privacy and hatches a plan with Karen to get rid of it. Brent also catches Wanda speaking harshly about him, which leads to a chain of camera-recorded "plays" which Davis wants to be in.
B Plot: When the DRPD gets a new taser, Hank tries everything in his power to get Davis to use it on him, as it is a lifelong dream of his to be tased.
C Plot: Oscar takes Emma to a hotel for a getaway. Unfortunately, the advertising may have exaggerated a tiny bit regarding the quality of the place.
