His reputation leads to a local art festival, where he's featured and, desperate to hide, enters a painting he purchased from a talented local artist. Despite bluffing, his work impresses the festival patrons, but ultimately, the truth is revealed, and Clayton learns that creating art is a gift he doesn't possess.
