I feel like I always forget about it because this episode marks the height of the show’s ridiculousness. Beans is walking through Lawrence Jr. High with a pooping pony. Principal Wexler interrogates Louis with the help of a hillbilly bluegrass band. It’s… A lot. The gang finds a briefcase in the bushes at Lawrence Jr. High filled with $4,412 dollars. Louis, Twitty, Tom, Monique, and Ruby are super excited and plan on dividing it between them. But, Ren is all  “T
