The family goes to the coroners office to bury Grandma properly, so she is forced to settle for a pauper's grave. The family then decides to go toward the Hooverville where they are accosted by an old man for asking if they could stay there. They then start to unpack, and Tom goes on a walk to find out what's going on here and to see if he can find a job anywhere.
Ma starts cooking the the Hooverville, as Pa comes back after trying to find some meat, he finds a hoard of Children that have gathered around their stew pot, all with hungry eyes. Tom and Casey have another talk about life and what's going to happen now they're in California.
Rose of Sharon and Connie talk about their new lives in California, and he laments that he maybe should have stayed in Sallisaw and studied tractors. Ma talks more with the children around the pot of food. Al meets Floyd and Al helps him finish the work on his car. As a thanks Floyd lets him know about the work situation and tells him about a potential job that may be coming up.
a Chevy then enters the camp, a man steps out with handbills in his hand. He walks around the camp, and everyone in intimidated. He asks if they need work, and the men ask him what kind of of pay they're offering. The man cannot answer the questions and he gets angry at them for their questions. The man calls to his car and deputy steps out. He grabs Floyd and tries to take him in for no reason at all. Then suddenly Tom steps in...
After the scuffle Tom has to go and find Uncle John who has gone off to drink. He walks all along the road and eventually finds him singing drunkenly along the side of the road. He takes him back to the truck and the family has to go away. They drive along he road, and eventually find a huge group of men that are seemingly ready to lynch any "Oakie" that they come across/ The family is forced to find another route, and they come across the scene of the Hooverville camp, up in Flames.
