Plot
The friends wanted a trampoline for the garage. They wanted the Landlord's permission, but find that he has been arguing with his girlfriend. So, Tom and Angela decide to go on a couples retreat at the Fun Museum along with the Landlord and Ms. Vanthrax. They find that it was run by Dr. Internet Doctor and that it only received 5-star reviews. The doctor instructs the couples to enter a machine that evaluated how well their relationship was doing, only to find that both couples received a Troubled Couples.

They begin to do some activities, like a board game and building a table. However, the doctor encouraged them to fight instead of working together. They go back to the machine to get a better score, but they find out the "Romance-a-Tron" was made out of Christmas lights, a blender and a noisemaker. Angela finds that the reports were pre-made, all saying Troubled Couples.

Meanwhile, Ben invents a spray that can make anything the liquid touches bouncy, like a trampoline. Ben sprays a small location, and Ginger tries it, but gets bored quickly. So, Ginger leads Ben to a "dinosaur egg in the storage room, only to steal the spray can and spray the entire garage. Ginger suddenly was unable to stop bouncing. Ben realised he had to do something or Ginger would bounce forever.

Back at the museum, The doctor finds them and explains it was a scam, and that no one was allowed to leave until they gave the retreat 5-stars. Angela was about to do so, but Tom remembers the exit chute from the last time they visited the Fun Museum, and escape into the garbage chute.

Tom finds that the landlord actually enjoyed the retreat, so Tom tries asking for a trampoline, which the landlord agrees. Meanwhile, Ben hatches a plan to stop Ginger from bouncing. He jumps off a stool which blocks Ginger's path, forcing them all outside onto the driveway. They find that Tom had a trampoline and is mad, while Tom was unaware of what happened.
