History Recap / TimeSquadS01EpFeudForThought

This sets off their next mission: to help the Hatfields and [=McCoys=]. According to Otto they were supposed to be two hillbilly families in West Virginia that were famous for a never-ending feud. But when they get there they immediately see what while the Hatfields are indeed a hateful bunch who shoot people at a whim, the [=McCoys=] are just simple folk with no backbone to fight back. After witnessing William, the patriarch of the Hatfields walk all over Randall [=McCoy=] and his kids and take their food and household possessions, Larry makes it his business to teach the [=McCoys=] how to fight back the Thor Robertson way.

With a little work, including flash cards and cheesy self-help mantras, Larry manages to make the [=McCoy=] family confident in themselves. This worked a little too well, as the next time William Hatfield comes by to terrorize the family and steal the roof of their house, Randall [=McCoys=] yells at William and tells him that he's sick and tired of him and his family harassing them. William becomes deeply regretful and sees the error of his ways and apologizes for the way he and his family have acted and promises to mend his ways. The two shake on it and become neighborly. While Larry is satisfied by how things have turned out, Otto and Tuddrussel are irritated that Larry isn't seeing the problem in the fact that the two families are "Loving" and not "Fighting".

Otto and Tuddrussel then formulate a plan to get back at Larry for the whole yearbook episode and fix the mission as well. They start pulling pranks on the two families; On the Hatfield side, they steal a scarecrow from their cornfield and allow crows to ruin their crops and throw bombs into their outhouse as William is about to use it. They also write on their house, '[=McCoys=] Rock!' with paint. On the [=McCoy=] side, they pour cement into their well and paint 'Hatfield's Rule!' on their house.

The families see this and angrily claim "It's feudn' time!" and all at once begin to shoot each other from their respective property. All the while Larry is broken up over how his plan to help the families failed.
