Answer: Carl agrees to drive a homeless man to a distant park.

As Carl is getting ready to leave in his car, a somewhat grubby, homeless man asks Carl, "Could you drive me to Elysian Park?" Carl is hesitant, but Nick comes rushing to his aid.

The homeless man had, in addition, worn out Carl's cell phone battery. He has to walk to the gas station.

6. Carl begins to take heart in the philosophy that, "Yes always leads to something good." What happens to be the first reward gained from adhering to this philosophy?

Answer: Carl meets Allison.

Answer: Munchausen by Proxy

Carl visits the club at last. The band, Munchausen by Proxy, has an audience of ten or so people. However, by coincidence, Allison happens to be the lead singer of the band.

Answer: Carl's estranged wife wants to get back together.

Carl's ex-wife, Stephanie, has broken up with her boyfriend. She calls Carl for some commiseration. Carl visits Stephanie. She implores Carl for a reconciliation.

Answer: Lincoln, Nebraska

After Carl's conversation with Terrence, Carl realizes that he is not bound by any covenant. Carl and Allison reconcile.
