Hank then drives to Mack's home, who still believes Ladybird to be racist, and is told Hank's observations and explanations. Peggy then gets Reverend Stroup and her group to see this and they apologize to Hank off screen. Hank realizes Ladybird's erratic behavior came from his hatred for other repairmen interfering with his work. Hank is confused why Ladybird is suddenly attacking, only to realize that the repairman is Caucasian. Unlike Mack, the other repairman is careless and disrespectful. Soon later, a repairman arrives to check the water heater. Unfortunately, Ladybird senses Hank's discomfort and grabs the African-American doll and chews it up and spits it out in front of a horrified prayer group. Bobby soon is involved and Hank, to his disgust, plays with the dolls. Eventually, Peggy is told to give Hank two dolls, one Caucasian and the other African-American, in order to roleplay. They sing "Get Together", which was a hit for The Youngbloods back in 1967. The church then is involved in a group prayer on Hank's lawn, only to have Hank annoyed. The matter gets worse when Hank attends Church and the sermon discusses racial discrimination by Reverend Stroup, which is focused mainly on Hank. Peggy at home is also encouraged to take the test by Hank, only the results claim Peggy isn't a racist, which further bothers Hank. The test, which has very confusing instructions, claims Hank is a racist to all non-whites, while all the employees at Strickland watch. Roger soon decides to test Hank by an online test made by his cousin to prove he isn't racist at all. But as Roger stumbles to get cream for his coffee, Hank explains his problems to Roger, who doesn't believe Hank's racist after getting him a job. Terribly unhappy from the scene made by the trainer, Hank has trouble at work. But as Hank describes the issue, the dog trainer, whose girlfriend is apparently African-American, is gravely insulted and explains the behavior came from Hank. To combat the strange behavior, Hank attends a dog obedience course to figure out what is wrong with Ladybird. But as Mack enjoys the food Hank had prepared, Ladybird enters in and again attacks Mack, who then again believes the dog is racist. Though Hank becomes terribly insulted, Mack is invited to stay for lunch, with Hank apologizing for Ladybird's behavior and explaining he does not condone racism or the ethnic hatred of people. As Mack opens the door, Ladybird attacks and Mack inexplicitly calls her "a racist dawg". But when Bobby tells the same 'joke' to Peggy, Hank overhears and goes on to check on Mack, only to stumble on a locked door. As Bobby comes in as well, Mack asks Bobby to keep Ladybird from biting him, only Bobby believes it to be a joke. Hank soon leaves, only to have Ladybird come to Mack, behaving strangely. The two begin to talk about their jobs, only to end in insult by Mack who refers to Hank in his story. Mack Walker, the repairman with an African-American background who apparently attends the same church where the Hills go, arrives to inspect the water heater with Hank uncomfortably supervising the work done. Hank at first opposes, but finally agrees after Peggy explains that the family is better off with a repairman than getting killed. ![]() The next day, much to Peggy's chagrin, Hank is berated for neglecting the water heater and is suggested a repairman to safely ensure a fixed water heater. When questioned for doing so as the paramedics arrive, Bill explains that he had noticed an apparent gas leak caused by the Hills' water heater. Late at night, Bill storms the Hill house and pulls out the Hill family one by one. Based on Ladybird's actions, Hank is accused of being a racist.
