Rafe is fully enjoying the arrival of summer, in particular all the plants producing flowers and leaves and, soon, fruit.  What follows is a discussion of angiosperms (plants that produce flowers and seeds enclosed in fruit) and their wondrously rich variety, which leads to a discussion of the 1981 film Time Bandits in which the Evil One mocks God for producing "43 species of parrots" when he could have been focusing on lasers and high tech.

In the end, we learn that Goodness blossoms and expands to higher and higher amounts of diversity while Evil, the absence of Good, decays and devolves into nothingness, represented in the film as smoldering blackish grayish ashy rock.
