In Idaho, Theroux meets military enthusiasts and right-wing patriots who are preparing for a global catastrophe, including trips to survivalists' store Safetrek and a mountain refuge for conspiracy theorists called Almost Heaven. He reveals the problems a lot of porn actors face, be it not getting a job in straight porn and therefore having to do gay porn, or not getting an erection when it is needed. This episode offers a look at very different sides of the porn industry, as Theroux interviews both male and female porn stars. He claims to have killed more than twenty aliens. One of these is a man called Thor Templar, the self-titled 'Lord Commander of the Earth Protectorate'. This episode follows several people who believe in UFOs. In Dallas, Theroux meets TV evangelists Marcus and Joni Lamb, and joins a group of hardline Christians called 'The Family' as they visit the Deep Ellum entertainment district.
