Les is feeling the effects of getting older and it's become clear that his son, Seth, needs to step up and take on more responsibilities at the shop.

The episode begins with a bang as a man walks in with a taser gun. He's looking to get quick cash for it, but Les and Seth are hesitant. They need to test the taser, and Seth wants to test it out on Les. Les is understandably apprehensive, but eventually agrees to let Seth administer the electric shock. The test goes off without a hitch, and the man ends up leaving with a nice chunk of change.

Next up is a man looking to sell his car. He needs to make some fast money and is hoping to get a good deal on his old ride. But after taking a look at the car, Seth decides it's not worth what the man is asking. The man gets angry and starts to argue, but Seth stands his ground. They eventually come to a compromise, and the man leaves with some cash in hand.

The woman is evasive and ultimately decides to take the stroller back home. Ashley is left feeling frustrated and concerned.

Later on, a man comes in with a set of musical instruments. He's hoping to get a good deal for them, but Les is skeptical. He's not exactly fluent in the world of music, so he calls in an expert. The expert takes a look at the instruments and deems them to be authentic and valuable. Les is shocked and asks for a second opinion. Another expert is called in, and they agree with the first assessment. The man leaves with a hefty sum of money, and Les and Seth are left shaking their heads at the missed opportunity.

In the final moments of the episode, a man walks in with a pile of comic books. He's hoping to sell them, but Les and Seth are cautious. They've been burned before by people trying to sell fake comics. The man assures them that the comics are authentic, but they still need to do their due diligence. After a thorough investigation, Les and Seth discover that the comics are indeed real. The man leaves with a sizable amount of cash, and Les and Seth are left feeling satisfied that they didn't fall for a fake.
