This episode happens before Nature I and Nature II. Doughy is first seen playing baseball with himself. After an injury he consoles his parents for a bandage only to be shoved away. Seeing various father’s bonding with children, Doughy becomes more depressed.When seeing a father and son squirrel, he throws a rock at them and claims he feels no remorse for his actions. Upon walking he hears gunshots and darts down, Orel and Clay are practicing shooting. Orel being a poor shot is scolded by Clay. Doughy comes up and decides to try shooting, being a much better marksman then Orel. He claims this is because he feels unimportant and invisible he is able to focus and shows little remorse at the idea of killing something. Since this happens before the eventful hunting trip, Clay insists Orel keeps the gun twenty-four hours a day until he learns to use it. Later he tells Doughy to help him, in this event Doughy seeks out Clay’s approval and craves attention, so happily takes the task. A nervous tick in Orel causes him to accidentally shoot off the gun when upset, the only way he seems able to hit anything is when he feels this way. Seeing this as a means to get more praise from Clay, Doughy sets out to upset Orel. Eventually Orel is phased out of the family as Doughy takes his place, Clay takes a special liking to him and even shows him how to smoke. Depressed, similarly to how Doughy was in the beginning of the episode, Orel is able to shoot easily. The now melancholic Orel is not bothered by Doughy’s attempts to upset him. Clay is overjoyed Orel can now shoot a gun properly he has no more use to Doughy, though Doughy attempts to take Orel’s place on the hunting trip. Clay tells Doughy that he had no intention of taking him on the hunting trip, everything merely being a ploy to get Orel to learn to shoot better. It ends with Doughy once again being ignored.
