First the hungry are fed, in a taco stand, then the thirsty quenched, as beer vendors in a soccer stadium. They cheat a bit by visiting not real prisoners (they almost committed a bank robbery to get in) but a strict school where they entertain a class of school kids. Clothing the naked is rather wasted on a fountain statue. Next they visit the sick, as clini-clowns on a children's ward. Sheltering the homeless is done by trading places with two of them for one night. Finally the boys must bury the dead, but choose sugar skulls, actually meant as party attributes for the All Saints 'festival of the dead', nevertheless counted by the Virgin, who now reveals she once was an Indian fertility goddess and sends them to search for the corn growers.
