** The Eagleton residents regularly threw lavish parties and gave out expensive goods like they were cheap candy (such as handing out nice gift bags to people leaving their [[LuxuryPrisonSuite very nicely furnished jails]]), which has resulted in the town going bankrupt.
** Diane tells Ron that he can't just go off on his paranoid "off the grid" bits now that he's a husband and father, and in this day and age, keeping in contact with his family is vital.
** Ron has spent years building up reserves of gold coins in the belief that no matter what happens to paper money, "gold is good." When he tries to buy an RV with some, he finds no local dealer is prepared to take gold as a currency. He also finds it's pretty hard to get an automobile when you refuse to show an ID or sign any paperwork.

Chris and Ben have been asked to look into Eagleton's financial crisis. Leslie, in the middle of a recall, decides to ingratiate herself with the Pawnee voters by criticizing Eagleton, first at the press conference for the annual Pawnee-Eagleton basketball game, then at Chris and Ben's financial meeting with the Eagleton government. Ben and Chris agree that an Eagleton financial breakdown will affect the whole region and that Pawnee is Eagleton's only hope, but they know that Leslie will not agree.
At the actual basketball game, an Eagleton player is injured. A Pawnee player helps him off the court, inspiring Leslie. She decides that Pawnee should help bail out Eagleton by absorbing it - the two cities were once one city, and she thinks this will be beneficial to both sides.
