After failing to get it out of [[Cloud computing\|the cloud]], they set out to get back all of the gifted iPads, leading to a series of awkward encounters and close calls. After collecting the iPads and deleting the videos, their friend's son, Howard ([[Harrison Holzer]]), threatens to upload a copy of their sex tape to [[YouPorn]] unless they give him $25,000. After failing to get the money, they break into the YouPorn headquarters and begin to destroy their [[web server]]s. Their plan is quickly thwarted when an alarm sounds. The owner and his guards confront them and threaten to call the police, but agree not to do so in exchange for $15,000 to cover the damage. He also removes their video and explains that all they had to do to have a video removed was send him an e-mail request for such removal.▼ The couple relatively easily manage to delete the video on both her mother's and their son's tablets. Their close friends, Robbie and Tess, invite them in and then Annie and Jay end up having to explain themselves. Their friends, without any real plans, tag along as they seek the tablets. After they have deleted all videos, Howard comes over to the house and gives Jay the only existing copy of the video on a USB flash drive in exchange for being allowed to hang out with their son, Clive, since he is his only friend.▼ Their most challenging recovery of a tablet is from the house of Annie's potential boss, Hank Rosenbaum. Under the guise of seeking money for a charity, Annie distracts him while Jay searches the house for the tablet. In the process, she tries cocaine for the first time and Jay battles with Hank's German shepherd. As the film comes to a close, Jay and Annie decide to watch the video once themselves. Afterwards, they take the [[USB flash drive]] containing the video and go outside to smash it with a hammer, blend it, burn it with fire, and bury the remains.▼ In the end, Robbie and Tess are the ones who get it back. ▲After collecting the iPads and deleting the videos, their friend's son, Howard ~~([[Harrison Holzer]])~~, threatens to upload a copy of their sex tape to [[YouPorn]] unless they give him $25,000.
