The gang heads over to the trial room. Reese's photo was placed on her podium. On Cyrus' podium, there was a wedding ring.

"Oh screw you Redd" Cyrus said.

"What? The best I could do was give your back her ring" Redd said. "You're lucky I didn't give you her finger as well"

"That's disgusting," Celia said.

"Anyway, let's begin this trial and see which one of you loves to ruin relationships" Redd said.

BEGIN TRIAL

"My sweet Reese…" Cyrus said. "Who would dare kill such a kind soul as hers? She was the love of my life and someone took her away from me. My Reese's Peanut Butter Cup…." Cyrus was getting rationally angry.

"I'LL FIND THE CULPRIT," Cyrus said. He points to Sherb.

"Goat boy, how did you find her?" Cyrus said. Sherb was scared.

"Um… Me and Bob were walking… and… uh… . Uh" Sherb said, starting to cry again.

"You made him cry, feathers" Celia said.

"Mr Cyrus," Katie said. "Me and Bob and Sherb were walking and we heard someone struggling to breathe. We ran to your shop and we saw Mrs Reese hanging from the tree. We tried to call for help because we didn't know what to do. When you guys showed up, Reese stopped breathing"

"How come you kids didn't do anything?" Cyrus said. "Surely you had a knife or something"

"CYRUS!" Celia said. "Why would these kids have a knife would them? They're kids. Well, young adults but still"

"You need to calm yourself Cyrus," Tangy said. "We can't just point fingers until we know the full truth"

"Yeah," Pietro said. "For all we know, her death could just be a suicide, honk honk"

"NO THAT'S WRONG" Yu said. "Reese's death couldn't be a suicide. Her fingers were bruised. Almost as if she was struggling to break free from the rope. Almost as if, someone has forcefully hung from from the rope"

Everyone gasps.

"Also, we found some rainbow paint at the scene," Yu said. "We also found…" He pulls out the mask from his pocket.

"This mask!"

Everyone gasps again.

"There's only one person that I know who is associated with rainbows and Jester Masks. Pietro, please explain why I'm wrong" Yu said.

"Um… well…" Pietro said. "You see uh…" He took his hands off his podium and there was rainbow paint on his fingers. Everyone gasps.

"I GOT YOU NOW" Yu said.

END TRIAL

"The murderer was none other than… Pietro!" Yu said.

"Fine. I killed Reese" Pietro said. "And you wanna know why and how?"

A flashback begins to play. Pietro approaches Reese wearing a Jester Mask.

"Hey Reese, wanna hear a joke?" Pietro said.

"Sure," Reese said.

"Knock Knock"

"Who's there?"

"It's the police, your son was caught in a car pile on. He's dead"

"Um… that's not really funny" Reese said.

"Okay… how about another joke?" Pietro asked.

"Um no thank you. I have to get back to my Cy Guy" Reese said backing away.

"Why was the Alpaca tied to the tree by her neck? Because she's just hanging out" Pietro said before diving at Reese. Reese screamed and ran away, Pietro chasing after her.

When they got to the tree, Reese was plumbed to the ground by Pietro who threw a side his Jester Mask. Reese looked up to see a pre hanged noose. Pietro brought down the noose and tied it around Reese's neck. Reese struggled to free herself from the rope but Pietro only pulled tighter.

"This is what happens when you don't laugh at a comedian's joke" Pietro said. He pulled down another rope, causing Reese to be sent flying upwards. She was now hanging from the tree, still trying to free herself from the rope. Pietro fled the scene just as Bob, Sherb and Kate walked in. The flashback ends.

Cyrus is desperately holding back his tears but everyone could hear his whimpering and sniffling.

"So, I guess it's time to vote then?" Redd said.

It was 14 for Pietro and 1 for Cyrus.

"Wait who voted for Cyrus?" Tangy asked.

"I did!" Pietro said. "If he wants to be with his wife so bad, he might as well take you all with him"

"You are all correct!" Redd said.

"You monster!" Cyrus said. "First Orville loses his brother, now I lose my wife. Had it not been for you about to be executed, I would've killed you right here and right now"

"Haven't heard that one before" Flick said sarcastically. He and CJ giggle.

"Now then, I've prepared a special punishment for Pietro, the Ultimate Clown," Redd said.

"Well if I'm gonna die soon I just wanna say" Pietro said.

"Let's give it everything we got, it's punishment time" Redd said.

"Au revoir everyone. I'll see ya real soon. Haha"
