We do not see the eventful night out, however, we see the aftermath. Including, a tiger, a chicken and a screaming baby in the hotel room, a women straddling out of the villa half naked. A hospital wristband strapped to Phil, attacked by a little Chinese guy returning for his stolen chips. Stu marries a stripper and no one has recollection. A stolen police car and a trashed Mercedes. Nevertheless, most importantly the loss of Doug!
