Hugh Neutron never returned home that evening, for he had been killed in a road rage incident.

Mrs. Neutron and Carl were summoned by the police to identify the body.

However, the body was brutally bashed and unrecognizable. It appeared that he had been shot over 40 times.

The culprit was never caught, but they knew from the car that the victim was Hugh.

"There there, Mrs. Neutron," said Carl, wiping tears from his eyes. "Things will get better. I can take over as man of the house!"

But he never got the chance, because later that evening Mrs. Neutron threw herself off a bridge.

"Not again!" sobbed Wheezer. "I should have called him Pop before he went to the great beyond!"

It was time for Carl to break the news to Jimmy.

He called the number that Jimmy left before he went off to school, but it appeared to be a fake number.

"Why, Jimmy?" asked Carl out loud.

Carl left the Neutron household, never to return again.

"Where will I go?" wondered Carl.

He headed over to the Estevez household.

Waiting for Sheen's father to answer the door, Carl rehearsed what he would say.

"I'm sorry about what happened to your son. I knew him very well. Do you have a room I could stay in?"

However, he stood out there for 4 hours, and the door never opened.

Downtrodden, Carl went to the Retroville library and looked up if maybe Sheen's father moved out.

He did, as he was deported for being an illegal immigrant.

"Sad," said Carl, heading to the local homeless shelter.
