Randy runs to the TV station to confront Nicole. She explains that she had to make the story more interesting and all she did was make him look stupid on TV - just like he did to her, "it's karma." Earl offers to ask Nicole to re-edit the piece, but Randy is satisfied - karma finally noticed him. Using their crazy arms, the brothers cross Number 28 off the list together.
