Malcolm & Eddie season 1 episode 20, titled "Swappin," revolves around Malcolm and Eddie's attempts at making quick cash. The episode kicks off with Malcolm receiving a phone call from his old friend, Jerome, who informs him that he has a way for the two of them to make some easy money. Jerome suggests that they participate in a "swappin" event, where people can trade items they no longer want for something they desire.

Malcolm and Eddie decide to give it a shot and they bring a bunch of useless items that they want to get rid of. Upon arriving at the event, they are disappointed to find out that the only items people are interested in swapping are things like jewelry and electronics. However, they refuse to give up and decide to get creative in order to make a profit.

Meanwhile, the owner of the bar and grill that Malcolm and Eddie frequent, Tess, informs them of her own financial troubles. She's in danger of losing her business due to unpaid taxes. Feeling sympathetic, Malcolm and Eddie come up with a plan to help her out. They'll take some of the items that they've acquired through "swappin" and sell them to Tess at a discounted price, which she'll then sell at a higher price to her customers.

Things start off well and Tess is thrilled with the merchandise, but before long, things begin to unravel. Malcolm and Eddie find themselves in over their heads as they become embroiled in a scheme involving stolen goods. With the help of their friend Nicolette, who works for the police, they attempt to get out of the mess they've gotten themselves into, all while trying to keep Tess from finding out the truth about where her inventory is coming from.

The episode is funny and lighthearted, with the usual banter between Malcolm and Eddie providing plenty of laughs. There's also a bit of drama thrown into the mix as the two young men find themselves in potentially serious trouble with the law. However, it all wraps up nicely by the end, with everybody learning a valuable lesson about honesty and the consequences of trying to take shortcuts to success.

Overall, "Swappin" is a solid episode of Malcolm & Eddie that showcases the charming chemistry between its two leads while still managing to keep things interesting with a well-crafted storyline. Fans of the series should definitely give it a watch, and newcomers to the show will find it to be a great introduction to the series' unique brand of humor and storytelling.
