* FacialHorror: When Brent asks Fitzy if he's really okay with making the World's Biggest Hoe, Fitzy snaps at him that there was no way he was going to tell his own grandma what "hoe" means to everybody else. He then scrunches up his face and it quickly turns ''very'' red, which Brent finds unsettling.

A Plot: Hank has an idea to generate revenue for the town: build the world's biggest "something" as a tourist magnet. However, when the town likes Fitzy's grandma's idea of the world's biggest hoe, Brent tries to get everyone to change their mind. Meanwhile, Lacey gets a kick out of the idea.

B Plot: After Lacey tries to make Oscar feel better about his age, he misinterprets it as a come-on. He tries various ways to hint that he's a happily married man, but Lacey seems oblivious until Wanda spells it out for her.

C Plot: Davis is feeling depressed about getting older, and Karen's comments only make things worse.

Then it dawns on you that every second that ticks by is just another inch that you've dragged your tired carcass towards your own cold grave. Then one day, stuff ''stops'' dawnin' on you... 'cause you ''died''.\\
