Synopsis[]
The Smiling Friends relax in a beautiful beach town. Pim works on his novel, Charlie binges shows, and Allan and Glep enjoy some "chill out" time.
Plot[]
Arriving at the Brazilian airport, the Smiling Friends are excited for their adventures and want to drop off their bags until it is revealed Pim didn't book a hotel. Calling the hotel, Pim is told the hotel is overbooked and announces that it shall thus be hard to find a place to stay, especially during Mardi Gras. Reserving a table and ordering fries, Pim and Charlie argue about the solution to booking expensive hotels. Charlie comes to an agreement that Mr. Boss might help in another way, hence Alan calls him.
Because the Boss had no solutions, the Smiling Friends decide to fly back and plan another trip to Brazil while an airplane crashes into a mountain.

Trivia[]
- It's revealed in this episode that Pim's last name is Pimling.
- The synopsis of the special is a mere joke, as the episode only features the Smiling Friends sitting at the airport since Pim forgot to book a hotel.
- With this in mind, the episode itself is likely a parody of when some TV shows have their characters in another country or resort for an episode.
- This episode was originally going to come out on April Fool's Day 2022, but was pushed to August 12th, 2022 for reasons unknown.
- At the end, there is no way to know what happened to the plane when it crashed itself offscreen.
- This is the final episode to air in 2022 as no new episodes aired in 2023 due to the second season beginning production the next year.
- This is the second episode where The Boss has no appearances, the first being "Enchanted Forest".
- Some scenes shown on the teaser for this episode had inserted laugh tracks on it[1]
- The teaser is narrated by Chris Phillips.
- This is the first episode with a storyline that involves all four Smiling Friends employees.
- This is the first episode of the show where Pim and Charlie aren't given duties due to Mr. Boss appearing in phone call only.
