So, at the next speech, Tom confesses that he listed food by mistake and told them to return the stolen food. The townspeople simply assume their leader has lost faith and capture him.

The new leader of the cult reveals that they have built a Sphinx out of food. They already have captured the friends. Once Hank frees them, they hurry over and free Tom, only for Ben, Hank and Ginger to be captured. Angela, who escaped, gives Tom the speech he was supposed to deliver.
