Mrs. Green photographs evidence that J. P. Richy was murdered and tries to blackmail Dewdrop and Sticks into paying her more money for her role in their scheme. When Mrs. Green confronts them with her demands, Sticks clubs her. Meanwhile, Tracy, disguised as a gas utility worker, collects evidence from the basement workshop that will tie the Sticks duo to the chamber built into the tree where the baby was hidden. Believing Mrs. Green to be dead, Dewdrop and Sticks hide her in Sticks' bass drum and take her to a landfill where they set the drum on fire and flee.
