ML seeks refuge in Costa Rica with the mysterious Sergei while Marc and Shawn pine away in Drew’s basement and Joe hunkers down in a safe house.

* After losing badly in his bid to join the Detroit City Council, ML vowed he would never move away from Detroit. But he didn’t say he would never leave. And so he disappeared to ride motorcycles in Costa Rica with a snake handling crocodile lover known only as Sergei.* Sergei tells the crew what inspired him to learn how to ride a motorcycle virtually hours before leaving Oakland County to ride to the far reaches of South America.
