When Earl was but a boy, he liked a girl. That girl, as it turned out, liked other boys. As luck would have it, Earl was also a horrible shot with a BB rifle, and so when Earl shot one of the other boys, he shot the girl right in the bottom, and to this day, that's where the BB remains.

So when he was feeding the meters one day, to pay back another of the items on his list (stealing coins from the meters), he gets a ticket, which requires him to go to court, where he sees the girl. Karma is tough to get around.

There he finds that she has become estranged from her father (Geoffrey Lewis), a situation exasperated by him, for the father never believed that she was shot by a BB (partially because Earl said he didn't do it, and she believe this delinquent insted of his own daughter).

So Earl and Randy then try to bring the two together, and as it turns out, she finds out that her father just isn't worth all the pent-up anger she has stored, allowing her to free herself of years of anger towards him - and Earl to cross her off the list.

Once again Mike tells us about some of his shows past, this time from the comfort of his San Francisco apartment. The insight he provides on these shows is often better than the original segments themselves.

One day when Earl and Randy were setting off bottle rockets, they used a small tractor with a girl on it as their "bottle".

As it turned out, that wasn't a good idea, as it broke into little pieces, and the only way you can get the little figurine is to win one in a mother-daughter beauty contest. Joy won hers with her mom some years before, and her arch-enemy has won just about every year since, and Joy's mom just won't enter again.

Since Joy can't get her mom to enter again, she wants a hot tub, since she can't get a new figurine to replace the old one. Earl thinks he can get a new one, so he approaches the arch-enemy and asks nicely, but that doesn't work either. He ends up as a prop for the talent contest - throwing knives.

In the end, it all works out of course. Joy and the Crabman smoke a bunch of cigarettes and Joy enters the contest with "her mother" in an urn (the rules don't state that the mother has to be living). The little girl who had trouble with knife throwing hits Earl with one of them, at his request, so she doesn't have to enter the contest any more and can be a doctor.

Joy wins (with her dead mother), since the little girl stuck Earl with a knife, which means Joy wins, and gets a figurine, so that item is off the list. And Earl doesn't have the heart to tell Joy that he told the little girl to hit him with the knife so she could be a doctor, so she gets her hot tub. Everyone wins.

Also keep an eye out for the ever-enjoyable Ellen Albertini Dow in a small role as Gertrude Balboa.

Marble Miner. At a massive marble quarry in the mountains of Colorado (where they quarried the marble for the Lincoln Memorial and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier), it can reach 40 below in the winter. They actually have to heat the water to keep it from freezing. The mountains used to be a part of a vast inland sea, and when the sea dried up, the fish died. The bones of the fish compacted, and the remains - the calcium carbonate - became what we know as marble (or so Mike says).
