The purchases turn out to all be legitimate, but Leslie cancels the card anyway out of embarrassment when <a href="/wiki/Tom_Haverford" title="Tom Haverford">Tom</a> hears about her unusual purchases, including a "bucket of cake", a man pillow in the shape of <a href="/wiki/Daniel_Craig" title="Daniel Craig">Daniel Craig</a>, and tuition to <a href="/wiki/Hogwarts" title="Hogwarts">Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry</a>. Later, the parks department and <a href="/wiki/Ann_Perkins" title="Ann Perkins">Ann</a> visit neighboring <a href="/wiki/Indiana" title="Indiana">Indiana</a> town Eagleton to help build a playground in a single day, as part of an event by the charity <a href="/wiki/KaBOOM!_(non-profit_organization)" class="mw-redirect" title="KaBOOM! (non-profit organization)">KaBOOM!</a> There, Leslie and Ann find Ann's ex-boyfriend <a href="/wiki/Andy_Dwyer" title="Andy Dwyer">Andy</a>, who claims to be volunteering, but in reality, is coming for the free food. He tells Leslie and Ann that he now has a home with the drummer of his band. Leslie is inspired by the energy of the group and its leader Keef, which prompts her to take proactive measures in filling in the pit in Pawnee and turning it into a park. While discussing the matter with her parks department, <a href="/wiki/Mark_Brendanawicz" title="Mark Brendanawicz">Mark</a> takes her aside and suggests she simply fill it in without permission. Leslie decides to take his advice and rents an excavator to fill in the pit. </p><p>Leslie meets Ann at the pit with the rented excavator, which starts filling it in with dirt. However, they failed to realize Andy was under some tarps in the pit, and he is injured when mounds of dirt fall on him. He is taken to the hospital, where Ann is assigned as his nurse. An angry <a href="/wiki/Ron_Swanson" title="Ron Swanson">Ron</a> tells Leslie the town is now open to a large potential lawsuit from Andy, and he sends her to visit him along with their city attorney <a href="/wiki/List_of_Parks_and_Recreation_characters#Scott_Braddock" title="List of Parks and Recreation characters">Scott</a>. Meanwhile, Andy is excited to be near Ann and insists it will lead to them getting back together, but Ann tells him she is very happy dating Mark, who unlike Andy has a job, apartment and future. A disheartened Andy decides he has to get money to impress Ann. When Leslie visits, he regretfully tells her he and his attorney Wendell Adams are going to sue Pawnee. </p><p>Leslie is convinced she can reason with Andy if they can talk without their lawyers, but Andy will not return her calls. Finally, Ann calls Andy and asks him to come to her house. Later that day, he arrives completely naked, having assumed Ann wanted to take him back. A disgusted Ann leaves the house, leaving Leslie and Andy to talk. Andy admits he is suing the town in an attempt to win Ann back, and she thinks of a different way he can impress her. The next day at city hall, Andy tells Leslie and Scott he will drop the lawsuit if they agree to fill in the pit right away. Scott agrees, unaware it was a trick between Andy and Leslie. The next day the pit is filled in and turned into a lot, and an impressed Ann waves at Andy while the construction work is going on. The episode ends with Keef riding a motorboat, revealing his role in KaBOOM! was an elaborate prank to get the playground built, and announcing he is going to build a hospital in a poor part of <a href="/wiki/China" title="China">China</a> for his next prank. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Kaboom_(Parks_and_Recreation)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>"Kaboom" was written by <a href="/wiki/Aisha_Muharrar" title="Aisha Muharrar">Aisha Muharrar</a> and directed by <a href="/wiki/Charles_McDougall" title="Charles McDougall">Charles McDougall</a>.
