Spoilers ahead. Coverage follows the scope labeled below.

Plot summary

Jerry offers Earl five weeks off his prison sentence if he creates a Scared Straight! program: Earl and Randy are to take convicts to the schools to give talks designed to steer kids away from crime. Jerry also wants the talks to include eco-friendly messages. During the preparations, Earl suggests that Randy might not be fit for the job of prison guard. After the brothers quarrel over who really is in charge, Randy leaves Earl at the prison and takes the other inmates for the presentation. Afterwards, Randy wants to take them for ice cream, having two of the inmates go and buy the food, but when Frank tells Randy that it's a bad idea, Randy goes and checks on the two (who have bought the ice cream) but when they head back, Frank has escaped. Meanwhile, Joy is pressured by her sister Liberty to have a natural childbirth, so she tries to find ways to induce that before giving up and heading to the hospital to be induced.
