When Earl lets Darnell pick a task for him, he cuts right to the chase and picks Number 1 - Stole Ten Dollars from a Guy At Camden Market. Earl soon discovers the money belonged to Paul, and by chance he was going to buy the very same lotto ticket that Earl brought, so, in fact, he doesn't just owe him ten dollars, he owes him every cent he has.
Convinced Karma will make everything okay, Earl gives Paul all the money from the lotto, leaving him with nothing. To distract Randy, Earl moves on to Number 119 - Ruined Joy's Chance to Get Into Art School - but it doesn't pay the bills. They are kicked out of the motel and Earl has to sell the El Camino.
Undaunted by Karma's plan, Earl forges ahead and moves onto Number 206 - Refused to Dance with Too Tall Maggie at the Eighth Grade Dance - but things still look bleak. Randy and Earl have a bust-up on a bus as the pressure gets to them.
Things look even worse when their fight distracts the bus driver, who runs Paul over. But when they visit him in hospital, Paul reveals his own secret. He saw everything that happened on the day Earl won the lotto, and was given a choice: leave Earl on the side of the road or take the ticket. He took the ticket and Karma has been out to get him ever since. He returns the money to Earl and settles his own score with Karma.
