In the first part, "Plans for Rusty's House", a terrible storm wrecks not only the roof of the roundabout, but also destroyed part of Rusty's old house. Even though the roundabout can still be fixed, the poor man is in such a sorrowful state and almost on the verge of tears (despite trying to stay strong for Florence), [[TheWoobie it's hard not to feel sorry for him]].
