On Monday the town mayor, Mayor Whitlock, hands out copies of the local newspaper he writes for called Minnesota Dontcha Know.

The next day, Werner visits Opa. Opa refuses to speak to him, so the men sit in silence. Later, Maizy asks her mother if Opa and Oma are upset that Charlotte never married, but Charlotte tells Maizy that they are disappointed with Charlotte for other reasons.

Opa watches the news, which reports on protests in cities against immigrants and refugees. Opa tells Maizy that people think that putting others down will make them feel better about themselves.
