Meanwhile, Wembley, trying to decide who to give the ring to, throws up his hands and accidentally tosses it into Boober's radish ratatouille. Disgusted, Boober trades the ring to Mokey for a radish so he can make a fresh batch. Mokey uses it in a sculpture, but Red, who is playing Princess Gwenalot, crashes into the sculpture and ruins it. Mokey gives her the ring, which Red uses to demonstrate her throwing technique. It hits Uncle Matt, who decides to dispose of the "lethal object" in Outer Space. In Doc's workshop, he's pursued by Sprocket and offers his life in exchange for the ring. He tosses it away and is chased outside by Sprocket. Meanwhile, Doc, who is trying to fix the plumbing, finds it and thinks it's a washer. He accidentally drops it down a pipe, and it falls into a dump truck of radish dust being driven by Wrench Doozer. When he dumps it out, the ring is found by Philo and Gunge, who are looking for trash.
Ma and Pa, meanwhile, have had enough and demand the ring. Junior confesses he lost it. In despair, the three Gorgs begin arguing over which of them should go into exile. Junior offers an alternative: using Gobo as a replacement. Meanwhile, the Trash Heap, sick of Philo and Gunge fighting over the ring, tosses it away, and it lands in Junior's hands in the middle of the ceremony. Triumphant, Junior pronounces Pa and Ma husband and wife.
