The Epic Heist and Escape
Ruthie and Alonzo successfully execute their daring heist at the County Fair, stealing the last good heirloom corn. They escape with a truck full of corn and a pumpkin filled with stolen corn in tow. They head off on a high-speed chase through the American Southwest, ultimately driving towards the Grand Canyon. Meanwhile, Philip, under the care of Kitty, develops a plan to create a new version of Kern corn. The blue boys who were supposed to help with the heist end up being double-crossed and left behind.

Meanwhile, Philip's plan for the new Kern corn raises questions about the future of the farm and the impact of bad feed.
