Summary
Payday, a new "big box" warehouse store, painfully modeled after Sam's Club or BJ's Wholesale, opens in Lawndale. Due to a bizarre chain of events involving a pre-episode fight between Tom Sloane and Jane, Quinn's theft of Daria's shoelace, and various occurrences at a barbeque at Kevin Thompson's house, almost every single major character winds up shopping there, getting considerably more than they were looking for.

Trivia

 * This is the only episode that does not contain an appearance by Helen and Jake.


 * The title is derived from the novella Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad.
