Penny is performing actual police-type work, walking down the street and showing Joanna's picture to people to see if they've seen her. They have not. She runs across Jamie and sits down next to him in an empty cafe. Penny admits that she should have checked the facts more carefully, since she's the fact-checker. Oh! So that's what Penny does! Anyway, Penny leaves on her quest, on slightly better terms with Jamie.
Bun wakes up in Roxie's place. And Darryl is watching her. Gah! She tells him that he shouldn't be here, and he tries to make her define "here". In Eastwick? In the house? He accuses her of having her memory and leans in to strangle Bun. But just then! Enter Mia, dressed as Raggedy Ann. She asks Darryl how he got in, and he makes up an excuse and leaves. Bun leaves with Mia.
Joanna is inside a coffin! And there are a lot of holes drilled in the top, so at least she can breathe. Her mouth is duct-taped shut, but not very well. She screams, and we zoom out to show that her coffin is on top of the bonfire, which has already started. I wonder how Pastor Dunn got his coffin onto the pile without anyone noticing. Anyway: peril!
The bonfire is surrounded by a giant party and the song "Disco Inferno". You know, the one that goes "Burn, baby, burn"? Subtle! So no one can hear Joanna's screams. Mia and Bun walk through the crowd and Josh shows up. He's shocked to see Mia in a costume, and she assures him that she'd even go trick-or-treating if it would make him forgive her. They kiss.
The fire continues. Say, where the hell are Roxie and Kat? They left before Bun even fell asleep, and it was daytime then. Oh! Here they are now, already giving up on finding Joanna in the crowd. But they see Pastor Dunn, suspiciously glaring at the bonfire. He ignores them as they ask if he's seen Joanna, and he says they're too late. Only he says it ominously, like "You're TOO LATE." Then Roxie decides that the friend-with-statue that Bun meant must be Joanna because there's a statue nearby. Roxie realizes that Joanna must be in one of the coffins! Kat wants to climb the burning pyre, but Roxie stops her. Roxie goes off to stop the fire (...somehow) and wants Kat to talk to the Sheriff. Kat agrees, but then walks toward the bonfire with a determined look.
