Christian offers to help Patty with the newly introduced Bible trivia quiz segment of the pageant by stealing the answers. Magnolia wins Miss Magic Jesus, while Patty is named first runner-up. With his parents determined to send him to military school due to his antics, Christian convinces Patty to run away with him to Hollywood.

Brick helps Patty lose weight in time for regionals, while protecting her from Christian, who has been stalking her. Bob Barnard and Magnolia reach out to Roxy to reveal he is her father.

Patty awakens after being kidnapped by Stella Rose and Roxy, who are plotting to take down Bob Armstrong. However, when her revenge plans go awry because Bob has realized he is no longer interested in pageants, a deranged Stella Rose plans to kill Patty and make it look like she committed suicide over Bob. Patty manages to escape in time to register for regionals. Bob Armstrong talks Coralee into being in a thruple with Bob Barnard, but Barnard is not on board, forcing Armstrong to choose between the two. Patty goes to meet with Magnolia after receiving a text message from her, only to discover it was sent by Christian, who, in an effort to win Patty back, roofied Magnolia after learning she had re-qualified for regionals. After Patty frees Magnolia, Christian reminds Patty of all the bad things she has done, prompting her to beat him to death with a crowbar. Patty calls Bob Armstrong—who was contemplating suicide—for help, and they push Christian's car into a lake in order to hide the evidence, but it fails to sink. Patty confesses to Bob that she thinks she also killed Stella Rose.

"Pig"

Patty tells Bob Armstrong that she was handcuffed into the food truck by Stella Rose, who wanted to kill her and frame it as a suicide to make Bob feel guilty.

When she accompanies him to the place where she killed Stella, they do not find her body and realize that Stella may still be alive and out there somewhere. They decide to get rid of Christian's corpse before dealing with Stella Rose. In the forest, the trunk of Bob's car containing Christian opens and the corpse falls to the ground. Pigs arrive and eat the whole body. Meanwhile, Coralee makes advances towards Bob Barnard, but he refuses because he is gay. Later, he overhears Roxy on the phone and discovers that she is using him to help Stella Rose take revenge on Bob Armstrong. He then realises Magnolia is missing. In the regional pageant, Roxy discovers that Patty has escaped the food truck. During the rehearsal, Bob returns to Roxy's dressing room and spies on her phone. He discovers that she does not know where Stella Rose is. Roxy is crowned the winner of Regionals, with Patty in second place.
