"'''South of the Border, Part Dos'''" is an [[episode]] of the [[United States|American]] [[sitcom]] ''[[My Name Is Earl]]''.

==Synopsis==

Randy took the bus to Catalina’s village. He took a sandwich and some flowers that he had found on a table. A woman embraced Randy, thinking that Randy carried her deceased son’s soul. After talking to the woman, she said she would take Randy to Catalina, so long as they got one night with the man who carried their dead son’s soul. Randy agreed.

Darnell had to take care of confronting the new annoying neighbors since Joy was in the midst of her sudden streak of kindness. He decided to take them treats. Darnell got scared of all the questions the neighbors asked him (he is on the witness protection program; too many questions worry him), so he quickly fled their trailer.

The people who kidnapped Earl happened to be Catalina’s uncle, Diego, and her little brother. When they learned that Earl wanted to rescue Catalina, they agreed to help him. Before that, however, Earl had to accompany the guys on their crime spree. Earl explained that he couldn’t commit crimes because of his list. He explained karma to Diego. Diego then said he would try to improve his karma.

While Earl was staying the night with Diego and his crew, Randy was staying the night with the family who had agreed to help him out. Both Randy and Earl realized that they hadn’t spent a night apart in a really long time.

Earl and Randy were united. While Randy went to go change, Earl walked around the village. Catalina spotted him, gave him a huge hug, and said she would marry him. Diego had told Catalina that Earl would marry her in order for her to gain American citizenship. Earl had no idea what Diego had done.

Randy returns a few minutes later and was hurt that Catalina was considering Earl as her hero. Earl wanted Randy to believe him that he had no idea Diego was setting up a marriage proposal. Randy accused Earl of stealing his thunder. He had desired to be the hero.

Darnell was tired of the neighbors taking advantage of Joy’s kindness. It wasn’t until one of them threw a stray beer can and it hit her son’s head that the old, not-so-tolerant Joy paid the neighbors a visit. She said her happy pills would completely wear off in three days and then she would return, unless they moved their trailer immediately. They subsequently did.

Earl had to complete three tests in order to marry Catalina. He purposely tried to fail the tests so that Randy could be the hero and have to marry Catalina. The plan didn’t work. A new, karma-loving Diego let Earl slide. It wasn’t until after Earl failed all three tests that Randy had a chance to win Catalina’s hand at marriage.

Randy passed all the obstacle courses with flying colors and won Catalina’s hand in marriage. He thought about declaring his love for her, but didn’t want to ruin his wedding day. Earl, Randy, and Catalina returned to America.
