Benson goes on a rampage, vowing to find a replacement car and punishing the employees who wrecked his ride.
Meanwhile, the show introduces a new item that's intriguing the park's inhabitants- Every Meat Burritos. This fast food product, delivered by a food truck that suddenly appears at the park's gate, is said to contain literally every type of meat imaginable enclosed within its tortilla wrap. The show's protagonists Rigby and Mordecai, who don't usually shy away from over-indulging, are immediately smitten by the idea and plan to devour as many Every Meat Burritos as possible.
As the episode progresses, Benson's search for the perfect replacement car leads him on a wild goose chase that keeps him away from the park for a long time.

Being an eternal being with knowledge of ancient traditions and rituals, he realizes that the meat used in those burritos is causing chaos because of its origins. Skips, trying to restore order, questions and uncovers the food truck owner's true identity and forces him to reveal what kinds of creatures the meat actually consists of.
As the episode comes to a climax, Benson returns to find the park in disarray and Rigby and Mordecai transformed into monsters. A crazed and angry Benson finds himself forced to confront these monsters to save his park and his friends. He quickly comes to Skips' side to aid him in discovering the truth behind the Every Meat Burritos, discovering a shocking revelation about the food truck, the burritos, and the impact they have on the employees who eat them.
Overall, "Benson's Car / Every Meat Burritos" is a thrilling episode that includes exciting car chases, tons of slapstick humor, and edge-of-your-seat suspense.
