After his near death experience, Joey decides that it might be time to change his ways. (After all, he didn't much like the looks of that light he was being pulled towards and thinks that maybe if he does better from now on, he'll head towards the white one instead of the red.) And what better way to change your life than to pledge to bring those who dumped the hazardous materials in Lost Forest, and then tried to kill him, to justice? I mean, sure, exposing them might put Joey in more danger and make it more likely that he perishes in some sort of accident, but at least he'll go with a clear conscience, and that's all that matters, right? (Well, that and if he doesn't, Sarah might fire him because family or not, bad business is bad for business.)
After making sure that everything has been wrapped up at the hospital, Mark heads back to the cabin, where he finds that everyone has already eaten dinner and all that's left is something cold on a plate in the refrigerator. Oh well, better luck next time. At least the animals are safe now, and by the time he gets back, the government has already leapt into action and has started the clean up (which seems a little fast for the government, if you ask me. Shouldn't they be arguing about this in the House and Senate for a couple of months, allowing the hazardous chemicals to seep into the ground a little farther?), and those shadowy figures responsible for dumping the barrels are going to be prosecuted, which means that Mark doesn't get to dole out any Lost Forest justice this time (oh well, you win some, you lose some), but at least the animals are going to be okay.
So that's it? That's the end of the story? We don't even get to learn who those shadowy figures are? We don't get to see Mark enter the seedy underworld of illegal hazardous materials dumping? We don't get to find out who Svelmer was working for and who wanted Joey dead? We don't get to see any courtroom drama? We don't even get to see anyone being arrested? We're just going to leave things right here? We're just going to let the sheriff and the government handle things from now on? We're just going to go fishing? Really? Okay. I guess I can live with that even if Rusty is kind of freaking me out a little in that second panel. I guess it's time to move on to another story, one that features a long haired Cherry clone, a blonde little girl who probably doesn't own a pet raccoon, and a man named Bob who has a penchant for blue shirts and is apparently looking for a job (boy, I know how that goes).
