They don't believe what he tells them and they continue to try to keep their rock star dream alive, but they soon realize that their dream has truly died. They go into the forest to burn their band merchandise when they are approached by Sasquatch. They realized that Captain Ed had been wrong about everything and that there is still hope for The D.
