The Battlestars Galactica and Pegasus face a new Cylon target, a “Resurrection” ship, while a power struggle threatens to result in all-out war among the human fleet.

When trying to enroll her children into the Right Choice Ranch for troubled youth, Joy is denied enrollment because of a barn burning incident at the hands of a younger Earl. Earl, Randy and Catalina travel to the camp to make amends for the barn burning by building a pen for the camp’s ostrich. Earl learns the real reason behind the barn burning incident and decides that every incident on his list after the fire should be shared by Randy.

Recap:

The episode begins as we find Randy playing the crane game in the Crab Shack. There is a live rat inside, and Randy wins it. Unfortunately, he gets bitten as it was having it’s way with Grover when Randy so rudely pulled it out. Joy complains to Darnell about the kids, saying they are even too bad to visit the “Right Choice Ranch”, a place where Earl and Randy went as kids. Darnell says he is busy, but Joy reminds him that he’s only delivering crabs, not doing a transplantectomy.

Earl doesn’t want to deal with the kids and tries to avoid Joy, but the Ranch is on his list – he burned a barn down throwing away a cigarette. He decides to go, and tries to keep it a secret because Randy is afraid of birds. When asked where they are going, Earl only offers that “they do not have funnel cakes.” Upon arrival, Randy cunningly tries to avoid the birds at the Ranch (but ends up playing dead and begs two children to call the cops) while Earl volunteers to help build an ostrich pen.

After seeing how much the kids enjoyed seeing his good example (and Catalina), Earl realizes that if he hadn’t burned down the barn, Randy would probably have a better life. Earl decides to add Randy to the list, but Randy isn’t happy about that. After some arguing, a mishap lands a nail through Earl’s hand. We remember Randy’s fear of blood, and he admits that it was his fault the barn burned down. Turns out he dropped an oil lamp by the still lit cigarette after a bird scared him.

Earl realizes that Randy is responsible for everything –

As the holiday season comes under way a few secrets are exposed when Earl attempts to cross number seventy-four off of his list: “always ruined Joy’s Christmas.” Earl, Randy, and Catalina enter a radio contest to win a brand new car for Joy to make up for all of the thoughtless Christmas presents Earl gave her while they were married. While Randy and Catalina vie over the car, Earl finds out that Joy’s parents believe that he’s still their son-in-law and that he’s just returned from the war in Iraq. Joy is afraid to tell her father, an alleged racist, that she is now married to Darnell, so Earl plays the part, afraid of ruining another one of her Christmases.

Recap:

Of course this episode is again about doing things right, but with a little difference: This time there are other people too who, well didn’t do all bad things BUT they all have secrets.
This episode begins with a contest. The contest consists of the following. You have to keep at least one hand on the Car which you can win at all times. (I think it’s a Dodge Neon.. but I am not sure), Why does Earl want to win the contest when he got a perfectly fine ’73 Al Camino with nice ’77 Door and a 1987 Camero Transmission.? Of course! It’s for the List! Number 74: ‘Always ruined Joys Christmas’. You see a few examples. 2002: He gives her something that looks like empty shell casings and gets asked: What shall I use them for? And he says: Whatever you like.
2003: She gets flavored condoms
2004: She gets Keys and says: “Wait, these are my keys?” and he says: “Yes, I found them” (Very funny moment in this episode).
Well, we are back at the contest. His brothers asks: “What does she need a new car for, she already has one” After that you see a extremely funny scene (and a little sad) where she and Darnell get out of the car .. and you see the two children in the back in the middle of the rain. And that kinda makes the point for earl. Back at the contest. Just when it began Earl shakes Randy’s hand, and a
