Opening: Kyrie has been getting phone calls and e-mails that the club and show is facing lots of budget cuts due to the cast buying very expensive items that not even their paychecks can cover for. He soon learns that they have until the end of night to raise enough money to keep the club open.

Introduction: Kyrie makes two big announcements: First, that tonight’s show will be a one-hour fundraising event for people to donate money for the club, and second, the show will introduce a new segment called “Kyrie’s One-Timers” in which there will be a new sketch every week.

Kyrie’s One-Timers present The Bug War: Two guys (Kyrie and Leon Thomas III) decide to volunteer at a company that makes bug sprays in order to make a few bucks for themselves. The head supervisor (Victoria Justice) is very bossy and mean and makes the two work very hard to kill roaches, ants, and flies with the spray with disastrous results. Some of the bugs grow big and explode into nasty goo which leaves the two volunteers to gross out to work at the company anymore.

Noah’s Hit List: Noah has listed all the expensive items that the cast had bought which led to the club’s budget cuts and shows video clips of why they are mostly dangerous for other people.

The Kyrie File: Kyrie makes “14 Reasons Why” the 2018 midterm elections are very important and how there certain issues like gun violence and tax cuts that could affect a political party’s chances in winning power in Washington, D.C.

App(le) Picking: Teala and Tyrel’s credit cards have all been canceled due to the budgets cuts so they cannot buy anymore apps on their cell phones. So they find a free new app called “Robert Banks” which gives them stolen bags of cash specially delivered by a bank robber (Nolan).

Game Lounge: Victoria and Leon play “Popping for Gold” where they pop paint filled balloons on top of the head of their teammates’ who are wearing special helmets and the first to pop the balloon with gold paint in it wins. Leon is the winner and receives a prop from Café ‘90s.

Closing: Kyrie learns that the club has been given its full budget back since it only need to make $140,000 and the fundraising event made about $280,000. So Kyrie and the cast decide to keep half the money and split it up amongst themselves.
