pumpkin casserole for dinner.

Pumpkin casserole better

have bacon in it.

Hey Sheriff.

Krystal.

Josh.

I need to talk to you, young man.

What did I do?

A mailbox was blown to pieces

down on Buckboard Road.

Went down to check it out.

Proved to be the result of dynamite.

I wasn't fooling around

with any dynamite.

Josh? No.

Look.

No one else around here has

access to any dynamite.

And your Dad just received

a shipment the other day!

Not to mention, I have a

witness that places you

at the scene of the crime.

Who?

An anonymous call came in.

But Sheriff, I was with Josh all...

Hey!

Destroying a mailbox is

a federal offense, Josh.

I didn't do it.

I want to believe you.

I really do.

But right now, all the clues

point towards you.

I didn't do it.

Alright.

Let me just go check on something.

There's a few sticks missing.

Anything else you want to tell me?

Sheriff you've got the wrong person!

I was with him the whole time.

Lacey that's enough.

I know you're not trying

to cover for Josh

but he did go out on his own

and was out of our sight

while you were working.

Oww!

What?

It worked!

Who's a jerk?

No, the plan! It worked!

Stan's a jerk?

No, the plan! It worked!

Who's a ham jerk?

The plan!! It worked!!

Yes!

Sorry I had to come on so strong.

But that boy needs to understand

what he did was very serious.

You're not going to arrest him are you?

Yes!

Guilty as charged!

Heck no.

I don't' see what good that would do.

What?

But I am going to take

this up with his father

when he gets back.

Until then, I want that boy

on house arrest.

Of course.

Oh, I'm picking up Rick

and Sabrina tomorrow.

I'm just going to leave the

kids here and surprise them.

Just make sure he stays in the house.

Alright.

Thanks Sheriff.

Krystal.

Well that's great.

Hey, I think I'm getting

my hearing back.

Oh yeah?

Say something.

You're a moron!

You're an idiot!

Nobody likes you!

Yeah, I got all of that for sure.

It's back.

It's back.

So did he arrest the kid?

No. He didn't arrest the kid.

HE HOUSEARRESTED HIM!

Woah!

Mouse arrest!

NO NOT MOUSE ARREST!

HOUSE ARREST!

Sorry, my hearing's not back yet.

You know, when that lady goes

out to pick up his folks,

that kid is going to

be inside the house,

under orders from the Sheriff.

And that's bad.

Yeah, it's bad.

It's terrible.

Alright?

Stubbing your toe is bad, alright?

Hitting your knee on the side

of the coffee table is bad!

Poking yourself in the eye

with a spoon is bad, okay?!

But this?!

This is terrible!!

Worse than terrible!

It's a catastrophe!

Gesundheit.

How many times do I have to

say I didn't do it?

Josh.

I'm sorry but there's no

other explanation.

Lacey, you believe me, don't you?

Well... you were out

on your own for awhile.

I was at my fort!

I wasn't blowing up mailboxes!

I wouldn't do that.

Josh, you can discuss this with

your father when he gets home.

I'm sorry, but until then, you

are not to leave this house.

Oh yeah? Fine!

I won't even leave my room!

Do you think Josh did that?

No.

Ain't no way!

What about those guys you

chased away today?

Hmm.

It could have been them.

I've got an idea!

Follow me, meatloaf.

Meatloaf?

What's a meatloaf?

You mean it comes in loaves too?

Sounds delicious!

And just what are you going

to do with that?

I'm going to give this to Josh.

Then he'll know someone else

was out here!

I don't know kitty cat.

Humans can be thicker than

molasses in January sometimes.

Well, it's worth a shot.

Go away.

Oh, it's you guys.

Sure you want to be seen

with a criminal?

What do you got here, girl?

Why do you guys have a flashlight?

What?

Meatball! Cut it out!

Stupid human.

Maybe we should try texting him.

What's going on in here?

Is this your flashlight?

No, it's not mine.

They just brought it in here.

I don't know where it's from.

I wonder where the dogs found this?

I think they're trying to tell us.

I'll be right back.

Sorry.

You shouldn't be out here.

Don't worry about it.

Krystal's fast asleep.

So someone was here last night.

Told you so.

Alright, alright.

I was wrong.

But that doesn't explain the dynamite.

Wait a sec.

When Cassie got sprayed by the skunk,

there were men here.

Meatball chased away their van.

What men?

A couple of guys from the gas company.

Gas company?

They never come here

unless there's a problem.

This is weird.

I don't know about this.

You shut up!

No seriously!

Robbing a safe is one thing

but what we're about to do is

totally crossing the line.

Do you remember what I told you

about the rule of the jungle?

Umm...

We can't afford to be nice anymore.

Right!

Take their sticks before

they take yours.

Right!

Well, no not really.

But... were you dropped on

your head a lot as a child?

Yeah. A lot.

What is it?

What is it?

You smell something?

Josh dropped a cookie

here earlier today.

It's gotta be around here somewheres.

I smell something.

Come on!

Follow me!

So, we're coming back

for the cookie, right?

You know what else is weird?

The Sheriff got an anonymous call.

Who called him?

Alright.

Tomorrow morning let's talk to Krystal.

But for now let's get inside

before you get into more trouble.

Okay.

Come on.

Yoo hoo!

Little doggies!

Look, there they are!

Let's get 'em!

Good doggies!

Good doggies!

Good doggies!

Alright.

It's done!

Yes!

Okay.

I feel terrible.

I feel terrible.

I mean I've done a lot of bad things.

I've been a burglar, a car thief,

I've passed bad cheques,

I've shoplifted.

But I've never, I've never

been a dognapper!

Alright.

It's going to be okay Louise.

Because there's a first time

for everything.

You hear me?

Let's go.

Okay.

It's Louie. It's Louie.

I can't believe we fell for

the old Kansas City shuffle.

I recognize one of them.

It's Sabrina's old assistant Terrance!

I never liked that guy.

Or his fake tan.

Pretty boy.

This is awful.

What do they want with us?

More importantly, when are

they gonna feed us?

I'm so hungry, I could eat

ied chicken off a porcupine.

Children.

I don't want to hear it.

But someone is setting Josh up!

Please.

My head is killing me!

I didn't have a good night sleep.

My chakras are out of alignment,

my aura's a weird shade of yellow

and I think I inhaled a nerve

from my sleep mask.

But Krystal.

Something is going on here!

Well, you can discuss it

with your parents

when they get home.

Now look, I have to run

into town for awhile.

Josh.

You stay in the house until I'm back.

Yes ma'am.

Lacey, you make sure he stays inside.

Yes ma'am.

Alright.

Keep it down in there you dirty mutts!

Take it easy, man.

They're just dogs.

I'm gonna let you in on a little secret.

I detest dogs.

Every last one of 'em.

Cockapoos, schnauzers, chihuahuas.

All of them.

That's cold, man.

I'm very cold when it comes to dogs.

Portuguese water dogs?

I hate them too.

Gee.

Now look, get changed,

we got work to do.

Hey, have you seen Cassie this morning?
