Cleanup on Aisle Five

Scarn (suited up in his hockey gear) and Samuel are back at the ice rink (with an actual hockey game going on now), and Samuel reminds him that he has to get to the puck before halftime or the stadium will explode. I'd point out that at least five days have passed in the movie since Stanley narrated that the game was three days away, but as a recapper, I've seen worse offenses against timelines on real shows just this year. Of course, they were all on ABC, so whatever. Scarn is just glad Cherokee Jack is there to cheer him on. "He died, " Samuel informs him with an awkwardly timed hand on Scarn's shoulder. Michael flashes a glycerin tear and says, "This one's for you, Cherokee Jack." In the screening room, Michael looks at the empty chair next to him and suddenly feels the need to start doing DVD commentary about how this scene was filmed during an actual Scranton High School hockey game, while they were trying to get into the state tournament after an undefeated season. Too bad he got them DQed.

Then on to a tender scene that we can only hear, in which Goldenface is telling Hostage Pam his origin story, where he worked in a gold factory for a boss who only cared about money. Michael gets up to talk to Holly, who's waiting outside to apologize. She says it's a good movie, and he says ,"No, it's not," kissing her and saying, "But they really seem to be enjoying it." Well, look who's growing up.

There's only a minute and a half left in the first half of the All-Star game. The ghost of Cherokee Jack appears to Scarn, telling him to take out all his frustrations on the puck. More poorly-suppressed laughter in the screening room, but now it's coming from Michael. Onscreen, Scarn hits the puck so hard it flies clear out of the stadium. Samuel busts in and frees the hostages. The puck flies up into orbit and bounces off a satellite, (which looks like a much more expensive shot than Toby's exploding mannequin head) and the game's back on in the bar! A happy ending for Billy the Bartender! Goldenface sits in a yard counting his money, but the puck drops into his lap and explodes just as he's saying, "Oh, sh--!" Scarn hoists the hockey trophy triumphantly. Cherokee Jack must be so proud!
