In his insanity, Ren has hallucinations of his ancestors who play tricks on him. The Bogman tells Ren that he has only three emotions, anger, fear and ignorance, which appear as personifications of Ren's various sides. Ren attacks his illusions. Jasper appears and tells Ren that he has violated the rules of the Hermit Union by having imaginary friends. Ren returns to Stimpy and embraces him.
175:
Ren comes from work exhausted, and is annoyed by Stimpy's terrible singing and inept cooking. Ren goes on to live as a hermit, but first must join the Hermit Union. Ren lives in a cave and starts to talk to a mummified Bogman. Stimpy waits for Ren while being alone for months starts to drive Ren mad.

Komorowski gave the episode three stars out five, and wrote: "This well-written and staged cartoon illustrates how Ren is probably the most complex and mentally challenged cartoon character in history".
