After defeating Doctor Bong, Lee drove with Beverly and Howard to Ohio in his 1957 Plymouth Valiant. Pro-Rata watched the car as he learned that the trio was headed for Cleveland. Back at Skudge Hospital, Winda Wester watched over a comatose Paul, moments before he opened his eyes. Somewhere on Interstate 80, Lee's car crashed off the road, into a ditch. When it was raining, Beverly spotted a house on a hill and she and Lee decided to go to it, but Howard was reluctant to go before being struck by lightning. When they arrived at Fairer Fowl Farms, a man with a pitchfork named Hank Skidoo reluctantly let them inside. Howard was frightened when he saw birds mounted inside of the house, as well as when he encountered the host, Mr. Chicken. When Lee, Beverly, and Hank entered the room, Howard lashed out at Mr. Chicken for "screwin' with feathered folk." As a result, Mr. Chicken had Skidoo take Howard and Beverly to a factory called The Coop while Lee was able to escape and run for help. Howard and Beverly were about to escape the factory before Mr. Chicken stopped them and shot feather darts. Howard accidentally ran into the ejector control of his conveyor belt, shooting eggs at Mr. Chicken. Lee crashed a car into one of the Coop's walls and escaped with Howard and Beverly. Mr. Chicken ordered Skidoo to assemble the hunting hens, but the latter turned on the former. Howard, Beverly, and Lee finally reached Cleveland. Interlude: They arrived at their destination on the outskirts of Cleveland: To Hack And Back Taxi Garage, which Lee acquired after selling his diner in New York. Lee brought in Claude Starkowitz to help him renovate the garage, much to Howard's annoyance, as the duck remembered nearly being killed while wearing the Iron Duck Armor that was ineffective against Doctor Bong. Howard and Beverly argued outside of the garage before the latter left to find an apartment. After seeing an advertisement for duck hunters, Howard rushed back to the garage and begged to work in exchange for shelter. Pro-Rata hid and watched after Howard saw the flyer he placed meant to keep him in Cleveland.
