Episode recap

Roy wakes up at sunrise one morning, and instead of crowing to wake everyone else up, he instead puts on a CD of rooster crows over the loudspeaker and goes back to sleep. Meanwhile, Wade comes across Orson reading on a sofa. Orson begins to tell him about his book but becomes irritated by the constant rooster crowing, so he goes to put a stop to it. After he leaves, Wade notices a slip of paper hanging out from under the sofa. He pulls it out and discovers it is a service tag; he then thinks he is going to go to be arrested because he removed it.

Wade tries to put it out of his mind by raking the leaves, but then he decides he will sew the tag back on. He runs to do so but quickly gets knocked unconscious by the rake, and then he has a dream that he is indeed sent to prison. He eventually wakes up with the intention to still sew the tag back on.

Orson wakes Roy up and tells him to turn the CD off because there is a squad car outside, which Orson infers that the neighbors called over. Just as Wade is convinced that the police won’t come after him after all, he comes across the squad car and gets frantic. Roy can’t get his stereo turned off, but Wade remedies that by running in a scared frenzy and crashing into it. He tells Orson and Roy about his problem, and they both think Wade has nothing to worry about until they hear someone in a megaphone telling them to come out with their hands up; they instead run away frightened. The person with the megaphone turns out to be Booker playing a joke (although Sheldon doesn’t find it funny).
