As Mark rushes Joey to the hospital, the would-be killer tries to escape without being seen. This should be a big clue that he isn't very bright because not only did he not succeed in killing Joey (at least not yet, anyway), but he was fleeing an area where, as far as we know, the only two people who were there are now racing away in a Jeep, heading for the hospital, and not looking for the shooter. Really, Elmer (and I'm going to keep calling him that until he's given a name), you could have just taken a leisurely stroll back to your car, taken a moment to disassemble and clean your gun, reassemble your gun, get into the car, turn it on, change the radio station, and then use your mirrors in order to successfully back up and calmly drive away. (Though really, he can't be that smart considering he didn't position his car so that he could just drive away instead of having to back up.) In fact, the only one that seems to have seen you do anything at all is that squirrel. Though, I suppose he could have called in that rampaging moose from an earlier storyline, so maybe you were right in trying to flee the area (but I don't think so). Now you've gotten yourself into even more trouble because not only are you stuck, but there is no doubt in my mind that word is spreading through Lost Forest about your attempted murder and any and all woodland creatures looking for revenge or some fresh meat are on their way. If you can't get that car out soon, I suggest you start running.(As a side note: for all of the stupidity of Elmer and what he should or shouldn't have done, I do like the fact that it looks like the back wheel of his car is the one yelling, "I'M STUCK!" Perhaps it's a Transformer, a GoBot, a distant relative of KITT, a car possessed by a spirit, or some kind of artificial intelligence that's only moments away from turning on its master. It's probably none of the above, but I can dream, can't I?)
