Episode Summary
 
Earl Hickey was never one to care much about what consequences his actions had unto others, though after being hit by a car shortly after he won the lottery, he finds himself hospitalized while his lottery ticket is lost to the wind. While recovering in the hospital, he watches the Carson Daly show, and upon hearing Carson express that his good luck comes from Karma, in how he’s always treated others nicely, Earl decides that he must right his wrongs if he ever wishes to turn his life around. He creates a list of everything wrong he’s ever done and plans on making amends for all of them. He first decides to speak with a man named Kenny, whom he terrorized during their childhood.
