A half-hearted attempt to cross an item off the list leads to his humiliation and, upon seeing that Ralph is living a lavish life after conning an elderly woman, he decides there is no karma and refuses to do the list anymore. After Earl slaps Catalina's backside, knocks over Joy and Darnell's trailer and forces Randy to sleep in the car on Christmas Eve (having taken over conning the elderly woman from Ralph), everyone partakes in an intervention on Christmas morning to try to make Earl change his ways.

Carl, Earl’s dad (Beau Bridges), is very mad and destroys all of it, only to find Earl, Joy and Randy return home with an angry drug dealer holding a gun demanding his entire duffel bag full of weed back. Carl, reluctantly, was left with no other decision than to buy back all the marijuana from the local drug dealer. What will Randy do to amend this situation?

Earl and Randy messed with two kids in the past, handicapped thanks to skydiving gone wrong, and Randy makes up for by having comatose Earl "participate" in a handicapped sport with some fancy remote controls.

69	22	"Camdenites (Part 2)"	Michael Fresco	Michael Pennie & Hilary Winston	May 15, 2008 (2008-05-15)	069
Billie grows very annoyed of Earl's karmic list and forces Earl to choose between the list and Billie. When Earl chooses the list, Billie starts to undo all his good deeds by hurting the residents of Camden County. Earl focuses on helping the Camdenites, an Amish-like sect, by convincing one of the young women, Greta, to return to the sect. When Billie hijacks Greta, played by Deborah Ann Woll, (who develops an attraction to Randy), Earl thinks all is lost. But Billie, in an attempt to escape the law, stumbles into the Camdenite compound and joins the religious order. She briefly returns to make amends with Earl, grant him a divorce, and in an act of good karma, gave him the remainder of her insurance settlement amounting to $72,000. With his faith in karma fully restored, Earl reflects afterward that after being sent to prison, rejecting karma and ending up in a coma he is finally back where he belongs.

Earl and Buddy (Seth Green) do a really good job at getting together the cast, including Randy, who turns out to be a really good actor. After several storm-offs because Buddy didn't like the acting, all of the actors quit and leave Earl and Buddy to finish the movie. Buddy leaves to finish the movie himself as a result, and asks Earl to throw him a premiere in two weeks. On the big night, everyone turns up... except Buddy, who has finally died of his illness (it emerges that Buddy was only storming off set to get treatments for his cancer). Buddy's mother comes with the movie that he had finished before he died.
