Chris' half-brother Bernard arrives in town but so too does a state trooper, in town to arrest Christ for skipping parole in his West Virginia home. As the judge arrives, Chris plans on pleading guilty but Mike Monroe, who's hired by Maurice on account of him not wanting to lose the KBHR DJ, argues that the Chris Stevens who left West Virginia is not the same Christ Stevens who currently lives in Alaska. Despite photographic and fingerprint evidence to the contrary, Mike ploughs ahead, finding that the judge, if not sympathetic, is at least prepared to listen.
