I don’t remember any of that and I watched at least most of the series.
From what I remember, Bill and Ralph were in the desert, the car dies, Bill’s dead partner shows up, the aliens give out the suit, and the manual is dropped.
Maybe I am mistaken...................I do remember the previous owner dying laffing.................
I think I may be mixing up two episodes.
It seems there was another suit given to a different guy who used it to enrich himself and the aliens took it away from him.
He searched for the suit and finally traced it to Ralph.......
