In this episode, Charlie gets into a bit of trouble with a former gym teacher who Charlie believes used to molest him when he was a child.

The gym teacher, who used to make the children do strange exercises and give them massages, ended up getting fired from the school for inappropriate behavior.

Dennis, Mac, and Dee believe that Charlie is jumping to conclusions and that his memories may not be accurate. They decide to investigate the situation further by going to the gym teacher's house to confront him. They find out that the gym teacher is a reclusive old man who is afraid of the outside world and has not left his house in years.
After confronting the gym teacher, the gang decides to take matters into their own hands by staging an elaborate sting operation. They dress up as children and go to the gym teacher's house to try and catch him in the act.

The episode ends with the gang realizing that they may have gone too far in their quest to find the truth. They come to the realization that Charlie's memories may not be real and that they should have been more cautious in their actions. The gang then decides to go back to Paddy's Pub to try and forget about the events of the day.
