Clarence quickly wakes up, and notices that Chad may be having a bad dream, so he uses his pumpkin portal to enter Chad's dream.
There, Chad works in an office. He's talking to Mary on the phone, but he's computer suddenly starts having a ton of errors. Chad tries to fix the problems, making him unable to focus on what Mary's telling him. Clarence tries to comfort him by explaining that it's just a dream, and that he doesn't really have a job so he can do whatever he wants. Chad understands and starts playing a guitar, but the computer starts to melt into a thick liquid, which has a life of it's own and a candy slug walks around the room.

Clarence wakes up and Guyler is gone too.
