Foreign Exchange Student
Earl's attempts to square his conscience with Karma go transatlantic this week when he moves onto Number 44 – Picked on a French Kid. The French kid in question being the school exchange student Pierre, who Earl bullied into leaving America early.

The obvious answer is for Earl to pay for Pierre to return and show him the glories of America he missed as a kid. Things don't quite pan out though as the first thing Pierre does is butt Earl in revenge for strangling him, and despite being shown a tonne of gravel and Camden's biggest freeway pile-up, Pierre remains unimpressed with the US.

However, a night in The Crab Shack holds the key to Earl's problem after Randy gets jealous when Pierre chats up Catalina and tries to strangle him; Pierre doesn't care about America, he cares about women, and when Earl bullied him as a kid, he prevented him from kissing all the American girls he fancied!

A quick trip around town later and Pierre's husky accent does the rest with his lost loves, which only leaves Randy the problem of telling Catalina he loves her, and Catalina the bigger problem of trying to tell him she doesn't love him...
