Soon afterward - and now married to a woman named Keri - a strange power begins to manifest itself in Grant which seems to wildly affect the state of reality, people and objects based on his whims, daydreams, and/or imagination.
Led by a power-hungry man named Larson P. Giles, he proceeds to demonstrate his militant cruelty upon his television show pitchmen through the use of his underling Col. Ferguson.
After struggling for a time, the bandage falls off causing an immense amount of power to manifest from Grant which partially destroys the studio.
This event both boosts the Jackie Jason Show's ratings greatly as well as catching the attention of Smilecorp and Larson P. Giles.
Solly tricks them all and gains the upper hand, removing Grant's boil with the intention of implanting it into his own neck to become the greatest comic alive.
Ferguson then takes the lobe for himself, implanting it into his neck to restore his human form and grant his body untold military power, but ends up killing himself.
Crashing out of a window with Grant in a wheelchair and under machinegun fire, Keri fashions a parachute in order to land safely while confessing her true feelings to him.
After that, a dog walks by and consumes the boil from the ground; this grants it the ability to create massive bones from the sky for its enjoyment.
