After a near-death encounter with Louisiana, South Dakota decides to bring back-up for the next states she plans to prank. By back-up, she means her reluctant brother who doesn't want to piss off his fellow states. Nevertheless, he's forced to follow his sister into a downward spiral of trouble.

"Sis... Where are you?" North Dakota hisses for his sister's whereabouts.

He manages to sneak himself inside the house while being followed by a Texas Heeler who has yet to alarm her owner of the intruders. While looking around the dark house, he sees a light coming from the kitchen. His jaw falls to the ground when he discovers his sister eating a half-gallon container of cookie 'n cream ice cream.

"What are you doing?!"

She jolts in surprise. "Shh! You're gonna wake Tex."

He scowls. "You're supposed to be replacing the tubs of ice cream with ice."

"That doesn't mean I'm going to let this ice cream go to waste." She eats a spoonful of ice cream. "Mmn... Only in Texas can I get an actual half-gallon of ice cream," she snickers.

"You're damn right," Texas grumbles half-awake with a shotgun in hand.

North Dakota makes a high-pitched scream. "T-Tex! This is all a m-misunderstanding." He backs away from the grumpy Texan.

"A misunderstanding." Tex scoffs in disgust. "Y'all show up uninvited on my property. Y'all break into my house. And one of y'all is eating my Blue Bell ice cream."

"It's very delicious." South Dakota licks her lips.

She smiles. "I'm glad you like it." She cocks her gun. "I'll be nice and give y'all five seconds to scram before I shoot ya brains out. Okay?"

"Five seconds?!" North Dakota screams in a panic.

"1... 2..."

The Dakotas scramble out of her house before she finished counting.

Virginia heads out to the front porch of her home. She's about to grab her broom and start sweeping until she finds a gift basket on her welcome placemat. She picks the basket up and inspects it. Inside the basket are individually wrapped caramel apples and a thank you card from the Dakotas. She smiles and holds off on cleaning the porch for now.

She brings the basket inside her home and places it on her kitchen counter. Knowing the Dakotas, she decides to take a closer look at one of the caramel apples. She takes a knife and chops one of the caramel treats in half. As expected, the treat is actually a caramel onion in the guise of a caramel apple. She shakes her head at the revelation, but she isn't upset. If anything, she's rather amused by their childish prank.

"Almost had me for a moment," she chuckles to herself. "Now, what am I going to do with all these caramel onions? I hate to waste them, but I don't think there's any use for them." She scratches her head.

Outside Virginia's house, the Dakotas peer through the window, watching another prank get foiled again.

"Can you tell me again why we're pranking the Southern states?" North Dakota asks.
