Earl and Fran take the Baby to the Chief Elder so that Baby can finally have a name, but as he's about to name the Baby, the Chief Elder starts to die, and the dinosaur who registers the name mistakenly thinks the Baby's intended name is "Aaah Augh I'm Dying You Idiot", which Fran intends to change when a new Chief Elder is elected. B.P. Richfield runs for Chief Elder, and since he has to have somebody run against him and the people in charge of his campaign also control the other, Richfield gets Earl Sinclair to run against him as he's stupid enough to lose. The family is happy that Earl is running against Richfield, until they see him singing showtunes on television and realize that he was running to lose. Earl has a dream about how horrible the world will be with Richfield in charge, and tries harder to win. When Earl is nervous about what to do during a television interview, Roy suggests that Earl focus on patriotism, his kids, and puppies, which increases his popularity with voters. Earl has another dream where he is Chief Elder, where he can't handle the pressure and accidentally starts a war, and when he wakes up he realizes that he's not fit to be Chief Elder. During the final debate, Earl says that neither he or Richfield are qualified to be Chief Elder. When the results are announced, Richfield gets more votes than Earl, but the winner is write-in candidate Edward R. Hero, the news reporter who has been reporting on the campaigns. When Earl and Fran take Baby to get a new name, Baby says his catch phrase, "I'm the baby", and Hero decides he should be named Baby.
