Summary[]
Bobby is in charge of putting together a carnival at Tom Landry Middle School, but a school-appointed diversity counselor takes all of the fun out of it.
Plot[]
Bobby convinces the student council to put on a carnival, and he's put in charge of it. But a dour so-called "diversity expert" comes to school and nearly puts the kibosh on Bobby's plan. Meanwhile, Lucky's hand gets mangled playing with a Frisbee made of barbed wire. He is more concerned about going to the hospital to get it treated than he is about the hand, and he evades capture by Hank and the guys. Finally, drunk on cheap mouthwash, he stops resisting and lets himself get taken to the ER.
