Season 7, Episode 11: Our Sons are Jackals

Tony and Kevin explain, laboriously, that while their sons—everyone’s sons—are indeed jackals, they make the valid point that in the new, Vichy America, being scavengers is the best way survive after the predator 1%-ers have had their way with the nation’s resources. Then, for the episode’s first adventure, Emily Wellingtonford, Canadian Mine Owner and Usurer, engages in treacherous negotiations with American tariff hounds, while her assistant, the elderly Miss Wepford, hauls a steamer trunk a long, long way by herself. Next, a new sponsor—the Jared Kushner division of Vichy American Laboratories—introduces the “PowerBro” and a wayward, disobedient GPS. Finally, Kevin and Tony take a harrowing, surreal bus ride—replete with therapy and haircuts—from Pansy Hollow to upper Lower Heights, and back!
