Synopsis

Earl tries to make up for stealing a car from a girl who only had one leg, and gets beat up by her boyfriend with no legs. When her boyfriend is hitting him with a campaign sign, Earl remembers #4, how he cost his father the last mayoral election, and against his father's wishes Earl signs him up to run again. His father is at first angry at Earl for doing this, but after hearing the public's response, decides to go ahead with it but Earl realises they'll never get enough votes to win the election so manages to get others to be registered, but after the papers are blown away, Earl does the exact same thing he did to cause his dad the election the first time. Earl's thrown in jail and his father loses the election but his father comes to bail him out. Earl sees it'll take a lot more to repair his relationship with his father.
