, the old man whom Granddad
accidentally killed in "Granddad's Fight
," is enjoying himself in an Asian-styled hell
and handily defeating all the demons who step up to fight him. Impressed with Stinkmeaner, Satan
calls him the "baddest mothuhfucker hell's ever seen" and sends him back to Earth
to spread ignorance and chaos among the black community, also giving him the opportunity to seek revenge against the Freeman family.
Meanwhile, Riley
is teaching Granddad about internet dating via MySpace
. Granddad proceeds to fill his page with manipulated photographs and false claims, such as a love of skydiving, Brazilian heritage, and former membership in G Unit, and sets up a date with an attractive young woman.
When a man steals a parking space that Tom DuBois
had wanted, Tom loses his composure, giving Stinkmeaner a chance to possess him. Tom physically attacks the man, but quickly gets control of himself and tries to help the man instead, having no memory of what he has just done. Later in court, Stinkmeaner takes over again and causes Tom to exhibit grossly inappropriate behavior. Tom rushes to the bathroom, where he sees Stinkmeaner's reflection in the mirror in place of his own, and flees home. Here, he has wild sex with Sarah while under Stinkmeaner's influence.
Meanwhile, Huey
is having disturbing dreams about Stinkmeaner's return and ambiguous advice provided by the ghost of rapper Ghostface Killah
(who is not actually dead). He tries to tell Granddad, but Granddad is too preoccupied with his upcoming date to care. That evening, Tom charges into the Freeman house and tries to kill Granddad with an ax. He is able to hold off all three of them until Riley smashes a lamp, vase, and statue over his head to knock him out. They take him upstairs and tie him to Riley's bed just before Granddad's date arrives, but his obscene ravings ruin the night.
In desperation, the family calls on Uncle Ruckus
to perform an exorcism
. He begins by exposing Tom to several items that typically scare black people (in his opinion) - whip, noose, branding iron, nightstick, book & a job application - but this method fails. Next, he tries to beat Stinkmeaner's spirit out of Tom's body, with Riley and Granddad helping. Ghostface Killah's spirit appears to Huey again and scolds him for not figuring out the solution. Huey realizes that the answer is bring Stinkmeaner to a state of peace, and does so by reminding him and Ruckus of their mutual hatred of black people. Stinkmeaner's spirit leaves Tom's body, and Tom again has no memory of what he has done - but Granddad reminds him by promising to send him a bill for all the damage done to the house.
