The members of New Religion went to the recording studio to record their new song. Mark, their manager, was impressed with the song. Andrew, their producer, was also very impressed. He said, "I believe you got yourselves a hit." They named their new song "Stuck". It was released as a single. Within an hour after it played on the modern rock radio stations for the first time, it was well-received. "Stuck" became their biggest hit since "Fresh Fritz Beats". The relatable lyrics were especially popular with college students . New Religion had dwindled slightly in popularity since Fritz was getting older and not playing the drums with his tail as much, (Fritz is seven years old). Paul was happy for himself and for his friends. Still, he vowed to teach their new dog, Klondike to play the drums. New Religion's music video for "Stuck" was considered their best music video of all-time. This was the last music video filmed with Fritz. At the end of the video, Erin announced Fritz's retirement. She said, "Fritz has been our mascot for seven years. He has been a wonderful companion and a key component to our group since we began seven years ago. Of course, he is not getting any younger. Rest assured that Fritz is feeling good and is in good health, which I think is a good time to retire him. He will enjoy the rest of his life at his home in Oak Ridge, just being Fritz. Klondike will be our new mascot. We hope for many good years with him."

Carl finished telling his story. John said, "This was a very touching story. I understand what you've been through." He wiped a tear from his eye. Peter had been crying, too. He said, "You're living a good life, mate." Stan, who rarely cried, was also crying. He said, "Yes, especially compared to what you've been through." Allen said, "I'm really glad you are living a good life." Erin and Lola hugged Carl. They admired how brave he was for telling his story. Erin, of course, sort of knew what he went through. After all, she had been abused by her grandfather. Paul placed a hand on Carl's shoulder and said, "You're a brave man, Carl. You're a brave man." Carl said, "Thanks for supporting me while I told my story. I'm glad that things have turned out for the better."
