Dale sinks down into an frightening pool of personal despair following a recent trip to Austin, where he faced some angry birds in a parking lot and had a little too much late night ice cream from the food truck. He tries to put some distance between his mysterious shadow self and reclaim his usual optimistic disposition, not unlike a late-April daffodil pushing its way through the cold damp soil in search of the warmth of that elusive, springtime sun. While trying to come to terms with a creative and emotional block, his thoughts wander to his own elaborate plans for the end of his life; how scared he is of computer animation; and how lovely it used to be when there was a salad bar in every restaurant, even the bad ones. The universe is full of black holes, and this episode may be one of them.
