"Very Bad Things" - Season 2

Earl was enjoying watching Joy and Darnell have one of their arguments when all of sudden, he was reminded of No. 183 on this list - "Never took Joy's side." He remembers back when they were married that he'd never taken Joy's side in any argument or fight she got into.

Joy had bought an entertainment center, but had to return it when it didn't fit inside the trailer. The Bargain Bag refused to take it back, so she decided to get even. She stole The Bargain Bag storage truck and decided to sell it for the amount of money she'd lost. When the plan goes awry, she blames Earl for screwing things up. So, now she wants Earl to help her sell the stolen truck.

Earl and Joy decide to check out the contents inside The Bargain Bag truck and discover a delivery driver locked inside! Earl comes up with the idea of releasing the truck driver blindfolded, but that quickly turns sour when the man runs into a tree and knocks himself out. Earl wants to do the right thing and drop the guy off at the hospital.

When the delivery truck runs out of gas, Earl walks to the gas station to get more. When he returns, Randy is waiting. They find Joy chasing the delivery driver, who is now awake. While Earl and Joy gas up the truck, Randy puts the driver back in the cab. But the driver steals the truck and drives away. Randy, Joy, and Earl jump into Joy's car and take off in hot pursuit.

Earl thought he was doing Joy a favor by stopping the car so she'd have to stop chasing the delivery truck. He was afraid that the cops would catch them if she hunted the deliveryman down. Earl's plan didn't really work. The deliveryman identified Joy anyway and she was sent to prison and charged with grand theft auto, kidnapping, and assault.
