Summary

Bobby gets a new girlfriend and science lab project partner— Connie's delinquent cousin Tid Pao, who soon proves a bad influence on him.

Plot

Bobby plans to be Connie's science fair partner at Tom Landry Middle School, but he meets her cousin Tid Pao and takes a liking to her. Infatuated, he becomes her partner instead, thinking she is cool even though Connie warns him that she is trouble. Tid Pao is living with the Souphanousiphones to hide from a gang she stole drugs from in her hometown of Los Angeles, although the family uses a cover story of her needing a change of scenery due to a poor academic record. After she gets settled in Arlen, she comes up with a plan to manufacture more drugs to make enough money to repay the gang and fly back home first-class. Bobby first tries to please her by bringing her to Show Biz Sushi, though she expresses her contempt for the food there. He then takes her to the Pioneer Women's Museum, but she again is displeased, so she messes around with the exhibits, and Bobby joins in. Using Bobby's liking for her against him, Tid Pao gets him to do things for her such as buying cough syrup and stealing propane from Strickland Propane. She gets a sizeable cash advance from a truck driver at a rest stop to help fund the meth lab, after telling the trucker a false story.

Bobby naively believes that Tid Pao is making candy. The day of the science fair comes and after Bobby sets up their "candy machine", Tid Pao leaves when she realizes that a uniformed policeman, Officer Soto, is one of the judges. That is when Connie, who was partnered with Joseph after Bobby ditched her for her cousin, realizes that he is making methamphetamine and informs Bobby, who becomes shocked and begins to panic. Bobby furiously struggles to wipe his name from a beaker and realizes his attempt to hide his connection to the drug manufacturing is futile. Bobby begs Connie for help and quickly apologizes for being stupid and not listening to her when she tried to warn him that Tid Pao was an untrustworthy person. Connie destroys the evidence using Clark Peters' Potato Launcher invention to smash the "candy machine" just before Officer Soto comes by to taste the "candy", saving Bobby from a bad legal situation.

A while later, Tid Pao is shown to at her other uncle's farm (implied to have been sent there after her meth lab scheme was exposed) in a largely rural area. He puts her to work shoveling manure in order to keep her busy and out of trouble, warning her that if she screws up again, she will be sent to Laos to live with her grandmother.

Back in Arlen, the Hill family eats out at a new sushi restaurant, where Hank and Peggy enjoy the cuisine.

Quotes

Hank: I can understand wanting propane so bad you could steal it, but to actually go through with it...
Joseph: You made sun tea for last year's science project.
Bobby: Man, I'm just keepin' it real, dawg.
Tid Pao: You are one dumb ass pig farmer!
Connie: That's right bobby, slipping!
Kahn's other brother: I'm the last uncle you've got. You screw up here, we ship you back to grandma in Laos!

Trivia

• The episode title is a spoof of the song "Bad Boys" by Inner Circle, which is used as the theme song for the TV show COPS.
• Similar to the season 7 episode "Pigmalion", there is a fan rumor that this episode had a scene that was shown uncut once, then edited in reruns. Tid Pao calling Bobby a "pig farmer" was allegedly supposed to be "pig fucker," but there's no evidence that the "pig fucker" line was used or planned to be used.
• Carl, the chef at the sushi restaurant, is the same character that runs the Show Biz Deli in the Season 3 episode "Love Hurts and So Does Art".
• When Luanne tells Bobby that a fun place to go is where they "bet on which chicken is madder," she is referring to an (illegal) cockfight.
• Despite Bobby's extensive pop culture knowledge, he does not know simple terms/nicknames for methamphetamine, which aligns with how Peggy and Hank shelter Bobby from the more unsavory aspects of life (mostly anything to do with drugs or sex).

Goofs

• Bobby looks out of his bedroom window to see Tid Pao go into Kahn's shed; however, Bobby's bedroom is not on that side of the house.
