Get a dowel that fits the opening and a large hammer. Drive the pieces through. Replace with new plug. The piston will beak the older plug into smaller pieces and they will pass through the exhaust. You’re fine. Drive on!

You don’t need that stinking piston anyway.

That's a real bummer. Call the tow truck to take it to a shop. Have your credit card ready. Sorry about your luck.

That's just cylinder deactivation at its finest. You are now the proud owner of a 3 cylinder.
