Melanie rips off her sweats and has red white and blue on and says, “I can’t stand not being able to do our Jewish traditions! These evil people keep destroying our shuls and ruining our decorations! We need justice! I think America is a makom where our shuls will be safe! You guys agree with me? (YEAHHHH!) But before we go, I must pay back the oppressors, the evil Zerg!” Then Melanie chases Erin to the agam and the campers follow Melanie and Erin.
Melanie and Erin have an epic battle, ending with Erin falling in the water.
