Summary

Hank takes Good Hank to a men's camp to instill good values, but the camp is not what Hank thought it would be. Peggy stays at Bobby's apartment after getting an MRI.

Plot

Hank, along with a teenage G.H., Didi, and Junichiro via video call, finish up a settlement lawsuit from the shin jelly Cotton used due to believing it would grow his legs again. However, it was a scam as the contents were made out of lotion and hot sauce and the three sons are given a $5,000 share as part of the settlement due to being his living heirs. As Hank and Didi go downstairs, Hank notices that G.H. is rather disinterested in Didi and spends more time looking at his phone. With Cotton gone, Didi knows that G.H. needs a positive male role model and begs Hank to let his half-brother stay with him over the summer break. Hank is reluctant to bring G.H. into his house, but Peggy convinces Hank to take G.H. in and help his brother out.

The next day, Bobby is forced to bail on Peggy for a pickleball game as he and Emilio are busy working on a new sauce for Dallas Foodie Week, which Emilio mistook for a different week. Peggy tries to brush it aside and play pickleball alone against Nancy and Minh, but she trips and badly injures her knee. Afterward, Peggy gets Bobby to take her to the Dallas Hospital as it's the only place where she can seek the proper treatment and decides to stay with him for a while as she recovers. While Bobby is too focused on the sauce debacle, he's forced to take Peggy in when she has a panic attack while getting scanned in an MRI machine.

Hank tries to bond with G.H., but finds it difficult, as his younger brother spends most of his time alone with his laptop. While Hank thinks he's watching porn, G.H. is actually watching male role models like Elias Selwick. The two see one of Elias' videos, who reveals to be hosting a two-day "Boot Camp-inar" in Arlen. G.H. wants to use his settlement money to attend, but needs an adult as he's under 18. Hank, glad to see his brother is focusing on something, agrees to take G.H. to the seminar and will also pay for it on the condition he goes full force into it. As the two start the Man Made Camp-inar, Hank is initially impressed with how hard Elias is pushing everyone. However, Hank starts to question Elias' teachings when he mentions how they all suffer from working under Betas and woman. Hank gets increasingly worried when Elias has the men talk about their problems, and they all blame the woman in their lives for being the reason they are doing poorly in life. When G.H. complains about a girl he liked friend-zoning him, Hank has enough and tells G.H. that he and the rest of the men need to stop blaming the women who slighted them and how they shouldn't sink into a bad state of toxic masculinity. However, G.H. responds with a harsh rant that makes Hank remember when Cotton berated him for losing a football game when he was in high school, and fears that his brother is turning into their father.

Peggy tries to book another MRI appointment, but she has another panic attack and goes back to Bobby's apartment. As Bobby continues to stress over the sauce, he looks at his phone and sees the multiple calls and texts Peggy sent him over the last couple of days and realizes that he has put his work ahead of his own mother. Also, Bobby sees Peggy go underneath the fold out couch to get a pencil and doesn't suffer a panic attack despite going in a tight and enclosed space. The next day, Bobby enters the control room and calms Peggy down, even revealing he is starting a mother-son lunch special on Tuesdays. Hearing this calms Peggy, and she goes through the MRI with no worries, even sleeping through the procedure.

Hank tries to get G.H. to leave the Man Made Camp-inar, but the latter refuses to leave as he thinks Elias is giving him the advice he needs. Without no other options, Hank calls Dale and asks him to find all the information on Eli he can find. When Hank returns, he tells everyone that he realizes that all of them have been hurt by women, especially Elias, as he had recently broken up with a woman. What's more, Elias' mom has been funding the camp, and she's mad to see that her son has been shilling toxic masculinity to his clients. Hank tells everyone that instead of blaming the woman who wronged them, they need to gain women's respect and be better people for themselves and others. This gets them to realize that they were at fault in their problems and each of them ring the bell to quit the Camp-inar, including G.H. Back home, Hank and G.H. buy a used car with the settlement money to work on, with the former hoping that working on it will give G.H. a purpose to focus on and become a better man. As Didi comes to pick up G.H., he hugs her with respect and gets his things, shaking Hank's hand as he gets into the car. As Didi and G.H. leave, Hank remembers when his brother was born and Cotton said he didn't want him to grow up like him. However, Hank tells his dead father that he failed, because G.H. is going to grow up not to be an abusive misogynist like Cotton was.

Trivia

• The title of this episode is a reference to the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, a 2002 U.S. Act of Congress promoted by the presidency of George W. Bush. The law had been discussed within the show 17 years prior in the similarly titled Season 13 episode "No Bobby Left Behind".
• The name of Joseph's pencil, Lead Dead Redemption, is a nod to the popular Western video game franchise Red Dead Redemption.
• This episode reveals that Didi is now a single mother after being widowed from Cotton and divorced by her second husband.
• Peggy is revealed to have scar tissue on her groin as a result of her getting kicked by Bobby eight years prior in the episode "Bobby Goes Nuts".
• Mike Judge takes over the role as Junichiro, filling in for the late David Carradine.
• The car Hank buys to fix up with G.H. is a 1991 Ford Escort.

Goofs

• The MRI mentions that Peggy has scar tissue from when she was kicked in the groin by a 12-year-old. Bobby was 13 at the time "Bobby Goes Nuts" was produced. It is possible that the doctor could be making a rough estimate, given that Bobby stayed the same despite aging a year.
• G.H. is portrayed as a teenager in this episode, even though the revival is set eight-to-fifteen years after G.H. was born, meaning that G.H. should have been an eight-year-old (though G.H. wasn't shown much after he was born and, like with Bobby, he didn't show any outward signs of growing up before the revival).

Quotes

"Hank: Don't listen to them, G.H.!
G.H.: Why would I listen to you?
Hank: Because I'm almost certain that I'm the only one here who still has a wife!
(Pause; G.H. looks around the Boot-campinar's other participants, who look at him with dismay)
G.H.: Shut up! You ain't my daddy, (his voice begins to fade with Cotton's, with the screen fading to somewhere in between 1973 to 1976) you're just a weak sissy with a fat neck!
Cotton (Overlayed with G.H.): ...you're just a weak sissy with a fat neck! (now solo) A stupid soy boy!
(Hank sniffles)
Cotton: Well there better be sweat coming out of your eyeballs boy. After dropping that pass, you deserved all the name callin' from the other team!
Hank (saddened): The names you called me were worse!
Cotton: Well that's 'cause you're weak, I blame your mama. Hell, after raising you up to be a sissy, she deserves name callin' too! (his voice begins to fade with G.H. back into present day) With a mediocre lookin' wife!
G.H. (Overlayed with Cotton): ...with a mediocre looking wife!"
