Craig is disgusted with Ben's sloppiness and lack of a job. So, in hopes of lighting a fire under Ben to pull his weight, Craig invites Jimmy to move in and share Ben's room. Elsewhere, Principal Taylor is asked to watch Supervisor Dalton's dog, Mr. Pickles. But when Mr. Pickles runs away, Ashleigh and Samir must do some scientific detective work to help track him down and save Principal Taylor from Dalton's wrath.

After being told that he and Jimmy may lose their jobs due to budget cuts, Craig and the teachers plan an auction to raise money. But when Victoria's boyfriend asks her to move to New York, Craig puts everything into a last-ditch effort to win her over, and hopefully save his job in the process. Samir also hopes to use the auction for romantic purposes, and takes suggestions from Craig and Jimmy on how to get out of the "friend zone" with Ashleigh. Meanwhile, Halle and the other students come up with their own plan to raise money for their favorite class, but they'll first need help from a tyrannical Ben.
