In this unusually musical instalment, the town confronts the potential arrival of a Walmart with its usual level of deeply flawed logic and overly enthusiastic planning.

The tape opens with a morning anthem, improvised in real time and including references to jackets, wolves, and " Walking your Steven" Things escalate quickly from there.

Concerned about the rise of future tourism and traffic, the gang discusses installing traffic lights in the center of town. There’s only one problem: Bootstuck has just one intersection and no actual traffic. Solutions include painting the lights black so they don’t bother anyone, or replacing traditional signals with colors like blue — or going back to the system of “just go whenever you want,” which is already in place.

Despite confusion, someone claims to have ordered traffic lights from Amazon — the rainforest, not the website — suggesting Caleb be shipped back in the box to harvest wood. For what purpose? Possibly to carve woodpecker shapes. Or the Bootstuck insignia. It’s unclear.

Highlights Include:

• “Morning Time” sung with full commitment
• A serious debate on black traffic lights
• Misunderstanding Amazon as a rainforest-based manufacturing hub
• Plans to mail Caleb to South America
• Closing jug band number

If you enjoy small-town meetings that spiral into illegal imports, spontaneous folk music, and woodcarving diplomacy with the King of Canada—this one’s a must.
