In "Screw the Moon," Tandy and Todd devise a plan to kill Phil. Tandy reveals that he plans on taking Phil for a drive and leaving him for dead in the desert. Todd recalls how Tandy once drove him to the desert and gets angry with Tandy for trying to kill him in the past. Tandy loses another friend and has no one to talk to except for his lifeless sports equipment friends down at the bar.
"Who is this impostor freewheeling around, abandoning all her stupid rules, acting all fun to be around and looking positively radiant?" asks Tandy to his friends.
Tandy decides that he wants Carol back in his life. He tries to woo her with flowers and jewelry. She is unconvinced. Tandy tells her that he wrote a song for her. Before he can sing it, Phil storms in and tells them that he is working on bringing electricity to the community. The group meets as Phil debuts a lamp he has managed to light with the use of solar panels. Everyone is amazed until Tandy knocks down the lamp.
The group decides that Tandy has to go. Tandy runs away and locks himself inside a room. He survives by eating toilet paper and toothpaste for three days. When Tandy returns to the group, Phil drags him into a pickup truck and drives him out of the city. Tandy is left with a supply of food and water, which he gobbles up in a matter of minutes. Carol swings by to check up on Tandy and drops off more supplies. Tandy sings a song for Carol, convincing her to get back with him.
"Screw the moon, what good's the moon when Care Bear's not here with me," sings Tandy.
