Many of the townspeople have to do menial work in Carty Garbageton to make the money back, but they're all fired when the town starts becoming clean.

26. All's Well That Hens Well

Aired: 12/31/1999

Ned is showing a health science project to his class that could make or break his passing grade, a film he's made to show where food comes from.

Ned's project is initially doomed because of Newton's involvement, but Ned's teacher thinks that it was actually a creative writing project that was due the following week, for which he gets an A+. She wonders where his health science project is, and the final episode ends with Ned saying "I'll be right back," and leaving the classroom.
