Despite repeatedly putting it off Earl finally gets around to trying to cross off Number 86 – Stole a Car from a one-legged girl. Whilst running away from her new boyfriend he stumbles on his next deed to atone for; Number 4 – Blew Dad's chance to be elected Mayor.
Since he was a baby Earl has always disappointed his dad, but it's when he's caught on camera assaulting a Police Officer four years previously ruining Carl's chance of becoming Mayor, that he finally turns his back on his son.
With a new election looming Earl decides the way back into his dad's good books is by getting him to run for Mayor again but Carl's having none of it. However once Earl appears on TV, Carl finds he's got new support and joins the race, only this time he doesn't want Earl around.
Which is just as well because whilst he's trying to pick up voting sheets off the highway Earl gets filmed assaulting a cop for a second time, prompting his dad to lose by another landslide, for a second time.
Despite the electoral disaster there is hope. Earl realises it's his dad who has bailed him out of jail – and he hasn't done that for six years! It's a start and maybe, if he crosses enough things off his list, his dad will finally be proud of him.
