The Stuckeyville Thanksgiving Parade is in full swing when Drunk-Ass finds Carol in the crowd to tell her that he's staying in town. Carol says that's nice, and that maybe they can celebrate with a bottle of Mad Dog 20/20 later. Drunk-Ass says that Ed saved his arse, and Carol agrees that Ed's good at doing that. Nancy's driving a car full of cookies, and telling everyone over a loudspeaker to come get all the cookies they can, for free; they're the best darned cookies in Stuckeyville, and why pay for them when you can get them for free? The scene quickly goes to the Cookie Sluts at the Farmer's Market, who can't understand where everyone's at, since this is usually the biggest day of the year for their cookie sales. Back at the parade, Mike and Ed are walking down the street dressed as pilgrims. Mike feels ridiculous, and Ed says that sometimes you have to make your own fun. He's glad that Stuckeyville is like the pilgrims, in that they choose to be happy. He then spots Carol and Drunk-Ass; Carol's pounding on Drunk-Ass 's chest as he lies unconscious in the gutter after a particularly potent batch of moonshine. Actually, they're standing there looking happy and sober, but c'mon...wouldn't the principal lying face-down in the gutter be funnier?! Ed stares at them for a second as Mike tells Ed to choose to be happy. Mike asks Ed whether that's what he chooses, and Ed smiles and says yes...he'll choose to be happy. He announces that he and Mike are headed to the New World as the strains of "God Bless America" pour out of my TV's speakers, and the screen fades to black.
