McShane is loving his new job as a school custodian. As he bends to scrape gum off the floor, disembodied voices call to him, "McShane! We're lost and scared! We might die because of you!" Guilt forces him to ask for a vacation so he can search for Tommy and Sally in the woods.
Tripp and a friend break into Rajiv's Coffee House to steal the copper pipes. Groaning floats up to them from the basement trap door and gives Tripp a brainstorm: open a zombie-themed bar! He figures they'll work for brains.
Angelica debriefs Big Momma on the progression of Lake Superior to Solomon's River which is being blocked by Native American protesters. Angelica believes she can get the White Folk to fight the Native Americans simply because of racial bias...as long as they don't find out Big Momma herself is a lovely shade of burnished copper. Angelica further suggests a curse on the natives. Big Momma says to cause fire in the tee-pees and trailer homes, blow up the mansions and gas stations, and cause the crops to fail. Angelica leaves to get the components to cast the curse.
Exploring the woods for Tommy and Sally is just as frustrating as it ever was for McShane and voices echo ominously.
