- Stella's foot is infected and it Mack is worried that he won't have the money to get it looked at.
- Ruby is hungry for some elephant jokes, but the only one Ivan can come up with doesn't turn out to be very funny because Ruby is still new to the world. This offers Ivan a chance to talk about art, though, and show her how he draws, which fascinates Ruby.
