The whole family has regrouped at Casa Green. Mom's arm is in a sling; apparently it's sprained. April says that she'll get Mom some aspirin, and Mom insists she's fine. Dad, who's actually upright, says, "Don't argue with her, Gail. Doctor's orders." And then he mutters, "Bastards." And I suppose he's probably thinking about the horse thieves, but it kind of sounds like he means doctors. Jake heads for the door, and declares that he's going to find Mitchell. Dad asks, "And then what?" Jake says, "I dunno yet." Hee. They should let him go. I can see him now, walking up to Mitchell and threateningly saying, "I've been looking for you." And then Mitchell asks why, and Jake says, "I...don't remember. Crap, I should have written it down. No, no, wait -- don't walk away. Give me a second, I'm sure it'll come to me." And then he'd flap his arms and mutter, "Come on, come on!" to himself. Sadly, none of that happens. Eric says that Jake's already admitted that he didn't see who the riders were. Dad chimes in, "I would like nothing better than to string up the guys who did this, but that's not the way we do things." He adds that the last time Jake tangled with Mitchell, "[Jake] left town and a boy was dead." Jake mumbles that he's changed, and Dad harrumphs and pointedly confiscates the gun Jake had tucked into his pants. Dad and Jake start yelping at each other simultaneously. Jake's argument is something like, "Mitchell bad man! Me go stop! Grr!" Dad's response is, "If this family starts breaking the law, how are we supposed to enforce it?" Well, you don't seem to be enforcing it anyway, so what's the difference?
Gracie's. Stanley enters with Mimi trailing behind him, and asks if there are any crop pesticides left. Gracie points out a shelf of large gray buckets, and Stanley explains that he needs it all for his crops. Gracie asks, "Can anyone even eat that corn? What about that rain we had?" But there was no fallout! Stanley assures her that the husks protected the corn from the total lack of radioactive particles in the rain. Argh. Gracie's skeptical, but Stanley says that he and Bonnie wouldn't be eating the corn themselves if he wasn't sure it was safe. Especially after "what [he's] been exposed to." Was there more fallout during the two weeks we skipped over? And please note that "any fallout at all" would count as "more." Stanley says that he'll give Gracie twenty bushels of corn for the pesticides. Gracie says she was thinking they'd split the harvest fifty-fifty. Stanley says that she's crazy. If insanity is failing to conform to community standards, than Gracie's definitely certifiable, because she's making sense: "How else are you gonna sell the corn? Give it to me, we'll share the profits." Psst, Stanley: you seem to be the only farmer in Kansas. It's a seller's market. You'll still make a bundle. Mimi huffs that the farm belongs to the government now, and if she wanted to she could just commandeer the pesticides. I say "You and what army?" which is pretty much what Gracie says, too. Exit Stanley and Mimi.
