In this episode, Martin's girlfriend Gina decides to throw a slumber party for her niece and a group of her friends. However, Martin and his friends, Tommy and Cole, feel left out of the activities and decide to have their own boys' night out.
As they hit the town, Martin and his friends run into some trouble when they accidentally get caught up in a sting operation targeting a group of thieves. The situation gets even more complicated when Martin realizes that the ringleader of the thieves is a childhood friend who he used to run with back in the day.
Meanwhile, back at the slumber party, Gina and her friends begin to suspect that there is a boy in the house after hearing strange noises and seeing male clothes lying around. They set out on a mission to find the intruder and soon discover that Martin's friend, Shawn, has snuck into the party.
As the night wears on, Martin and his friends find themselves in deeper trouble when they become entangled in a high-speed chase with the police. They manage to escape, but not before Martin's friend Shawn is shot and arrested, leaving Martin feeling guilty for dragging his friend into the mess.
Despite the chaos, the episode ends on a high note as Gina and Martin make amends and the boys and girls come together for a dance party in the living room.
Overall, "Boyz 'R Us" is a fast-paced and exciting episode that explores the themes of friendship, loyalty, and the differences in how boys and girls socialize. With plenty of humor, action, and heartwarming moments, it's a great addition to the first season of Martin.
