One day Hal decided he had to win back Lois' trust after he mistakenly left the keys in the car allowing Jamie to drive to a liquor store, which he robbed with Hal's gun that he found in Reese's drawer. Reese found it in Dewey's backpack. He was looking for some money so he could buy out Malcolm due to his very large amount of blundering. Meanwhile, Lois was driving home from work and she saw Hal with a chainsaw (I think chainsaw is one word. )
