Description
Windsprinkle the Unicorn is back to apologize for his terrible behavior in the past and share some new bad ideas for the future.
Summary
The hosts are still at the Ruffled Feather, perhaps feeling a bit nervous about returning to Hogsface, which they had destroyed years ago. They run into Windsprinkle the Unicorn (though they don't recognize him at first), who is eager to catch up with them. Usidore confides that he feels confused about his purpose.
Windsprinkle apologizes for how he behaved when he was last on the show. He has since been to AA (Asses Anonymous) where he reflected on his treatment of other people, and he now identifies as an asshole in recovery. He is eager to share the realization that his addiction to oats was the fault of corporate "Big Oat" and denounces how artificial and processed they are. The group discusses how various idioms about oats are actually propaganda.
Through the help of some "visionaries" of the Make Foon Healthy Again (MFHA) movement, Windsprinkle has come to believe that an herbivorous diet is actually a harmful conspiracy. With considerable physical difficulty, he has become a carnivore and hopes to develop incisors soon. He is also rejecting the notion that he should be cleaning himself regularly. He reveals that the MFHA movement is run by Spintax the Green.
The hosts are generally polite about Windsprinkle's new beliefs, though Arnie and Usidore become more and more skeptical. However, Chunt is naively drawn in by the MFHA movement and even feels more sympathetic to Spintax as a result.
After spotting Grapes the goat, Windsprinkle asks if he can eat it live. Usidore is concerned because in the past, Windsprinkle has had a problem with raisins, and Grapes the goat is a little dried out. However, Chunt assents to Windsprinkle's request. Windsprinkle messily attempts to eat Grapes, struggling and vomiting throughout the process.
Arnie and Usidore make a show of savoring a bowlful of oats, water, apples, and sugar cubes in an effort to tempt Windsprinkle. Eventually, Windsprinkle gives in and devours the various foods. He feels betrayed by his friends and vaguely threatens to break their legs, reverting to his past behavior, though he manages to calm down.
Before he leaves, Windsprinkle makes another pitch for his new health regimen and promotes vermin supplements. Usidore, angered, tells Windsprinkle they will not be engaging with his beliefs. Nonetheless, Windsprinkle thanks them all for how they have helped him on his journey, and heads out seemingly to pilfer some of the oats that Flower stores behind the tavern.
Grapes is revealed to be miraculously unscathed. Arnie, Chunt, and Usidore rifle through the questionable promotional materials Windsprinkle left behind, which includes a pamphlet called "My Wife is Funny and I'm Insane".
