Her marriage, her hopes, her dreams are all gone.As if things weren't stormy enough, it is hurricane season in Florida, and a there's a storm brewing for Norbert, in more ways than one. Jeannie kicks him out, insisting that she'd rather weather an imminent thunderstorm alone. He heads off to the local motel, filled with regret about the mess he's plainly made.Beneath calmer skies in OKC, Duke hits the road - gun poised, markers sniffed. He also hits everything in his path, leaving a trail of road kill in his wake. Hopped up on permanent ink, he arrives in Starke and heads straight to The Litter Box Show Palace, obtaining information about Pippi's local address from the local strippers (Amber, Amber and Amber - colourfully embodied by The Girls). He just misses Pippi and Norbert, who are now at odds about the status of their relationship, as well as Norbert's occupation with Jeannie being alone in the trailer with the power knocked out by the previous night's storm. Jeannie, meanwhile, is reluctantly missing Norbert, but holding her ground as she packs the remainder of his belongings by candlelight. On their way out of the electricity-challenged trailer park, The Girls take a much-needed break from their narrating responsibilities to wax lustfully about men and then head off to the motel. When Duke arrives at Armadillo Acres, Jeannie is the only one left. He holds her at gunpoint, and despite her lack of valuable information on Pippi, he takes a shine to her. He yanks her out of her trailer so they can enjoy cocktails and scheming, but she sprays him in the eyes with his aerosol can (turns out sniffing is just a gateway to huffing). Rejected and enraged, Duke storms off to Costco to buy cooking spray in bulk and Jeannie panic striken is left locked out of her trailer. Once Pippi finds out that Duke is in Starke, she runs home to pack, finding Jeannie in foetal position outside. But by the time The Girls and Norbert (flowers-in-hand, ready to ask Jeannie's forgiveness) show up, Pippi and Jeannie are poised for an inevitable catfight, which is then interrupted by Duke's return, some gunplay and even childbirth. As the clock strikes midnight, a reconciliation and a big-hearted Finale happen just in time for Jeannie and Norbert's anniversary. Invigorated and inspired, everyone at Armadillo Acres resolves to make like a nail and press on … ...and surely prepaře themselves for the next new tenant. MUSICAL NUMBERS 1.
