Being off the Town Council doesn"t seem to agree with Taylor. And neither does anyone else, except Leila. This ends up tying into a more substantive problem faced by the Council: the town rubbish tip next to the kitchen. The Council decides to relocate the stinky mess to a new landfill they dig outside of town. Guylan proves to be a lot better at winning elections than he is at handling a shovel. Taylor and Leila decide to sit it out entirely, until Leila wisely abandons the rebellion. Taylor, on the other hand, gets sentenced by the Council to fill the town water tank, and refuses to do that, either. So the whole town steps up and does it without her. Mike, by the way, is handling his new role in the private sector just fine, at least by comparison. This week"s Showdown requires the districts to root around in a giant tank of baked beans and live pigs so they can retrieve color-coded tin cans. The teams end up being ranked as follows: Red, Green, Yellow, and Blue. They also win the reward, and here"s the choice they have to make: a whole rack of fresh produce versus a pair of dune buggies and an unlimited supply of gas for them. The Council wisely chooses the former. After job assignments, Zach lays down the law with Taylor and Leila, telling them that if they don"t do their jobs they don"t get paid, and they can forget about the Gold Star -- "FOREVER!" That"s a direct quote. Before the Town Hall meeting, the Council unanimously decides to award the Gold Star to DK, who has been standing out the last couple of days as a mature peacekeeper. With the suspense of the decision thus defused, you know something"s going to happen to derail it at the meeting. At the Town Hall, Taylor"s eviction from the Council doesn"t keep everyone from piling on her, because she sucks just as much as a civilian, and things get pretty ugly. Until DK steps up to calm everyone down, further cementing what was already his lock on the Gold Star. But when Jonathan asks who wants to go home, DK says he"s had enough of the drama, and decides to opt out. Until Guylan takes him aside and talks him into staying, and DK ends up being really glad he did, now that he"s $20,000 richer. He sure would have felt like a bonehead watching tonight"s episode at home if he"d left.
