Plot[]
Cricket is sitting on the porch waiting for Remy to arrive. He finally does so, but now displays an over the top and obnoxious personality; spouting unusual phrases that declare his own wealth. Cricket is bothered by this and learns that Remy is taking after his new idol; an internet celebrity who goes by the name "Itchaboi" (It's your boy). Cricket only sees this as a person who flaunts his wealth and promotes his own merchandise. To make matters worse, the rest of their friends are also into him. As he leaves, Tilly finds Remy's tablet and begins watching videos. When Bill sees it, she shows him a life hack grout cleaning video. Bill is appalled at the misinformed attempt at cleaning grout and Tilly suggests that he make his own video about it to show a proper way of doing it. Seeing as how Bill is unfamiliar with online videos and internet technology, Tilly decides to be his "director" and help him get a true grout cleaning video online.
Itchaboi opens up a Be Mirabulous fashion store for all his fans. Remy and the rest of the gang decide to head their to buy his merchandise. Cricket tries to stop them, but is impeded by Vasquez. He eventually makes it to the store to talk some sense into Remy who still blindly wants to buy Itchaboi fashion, to the point of calling Cricket a "hater" as he refuses to accept Itchaboi's lifestyle, and Cricket is thrown out by Vasquez.
Meanwhile, Tilly films Bill trying to grout the floor, but gets distracted by the cat. She attempts to spruce up the video by adding it, but it begins to attack Bill. Later, she edits the video together in an incoherent and outlandish mess that emphasizes the cat and Bill saying the word "grout". While Alice finds the video amusing, Bill is saddened at his attempt at teaching the world about grout, making Tilly feel bad.
Cricket tries to convince Vasquez of Itchaboi's negative influence on Remy, but he doesn't believe him until Remy decides to get on Itchaboi's new cruise line which costs one million dollars to buy a ticket, and Remy is the only one able to afford it because of his no limit card. Realizing that Remy is out of his protection, he and Cricket team up to catch up and stop him.
Tilly fixes the grout cleaning video by playing the grout video straight and adding a cat filter over it, making her and Billy happy (and adding a production logo at the end to amuse Alice).
Cricket and Vasquez make it on the cruise where Itchaboi is and Cricket fights with Remy while Vasquez fights off Itchaboi's men. Cricket finally tells Remy that he should decide for himself rather than others; because of this, Remy realizes that Cricket truly cares about him and ultimately chooses to stay with Cricket, while Itchaboi reveals that he was present as a hologram the whole time and vanishes. Cricket, Remy and Vasquez leave the cruise line as the word "GROUT" appears in big letters.
