Pete knows this was directed toward him and his leg cast. Sam points out how hurtful the comment was toward Pete: "Hey! That’s not nice! How would you feel if someone said that, and you weren’t able to run fast?” Joey apologizes: "Oh! I guess we didn't think of it that way!” We're sorry! They all cheer "Yay" and earn Camp Heroes T-shirts.
