She stumbles across her Parks Department job application and is keen to read what Ron's very first impressions of her were.

Two hours go by and Leslie has sifted through a number of the pair's old projects and documents in order to expand her original timeline chart. He finds his old "partially defused" claymore mine that Leslie gave him 10 years ago, but is disappointed to discover that what he always thought was an actual landmine was merely a gimmick that Leslie bought as an anniversary gift for being Parks Director for five years-she had bought the empty shell online and filled it with balloons and confetti. Ron eventually has enough and commits to using excessive measures to escape. He subsequently scampers into his old office to avoid discussing the matter any further.Īs a result of Ron's unwillingness to converse, Leslie begins quizzing him directly outside his office. However, before Leslie can get anymore out of him, Ron's watch beeps to signal that three minutes is up. Leslie figures she has deduced what happened, but Ron reveals that there is more to the story of what happened and why he left the Parks Department. Leslie was furious with Ron for the fact that he did not tell her in advance about the plans, combined with the project's go-ahead to remove many of the surrounding houses, including Ann's old house. It is finally revealed that Morningstar was a luxury apartment complex that Ron's building company championed and built adjacent to the Pawnee Commons. To aid her in her discussion with Ron, Leslie draws up a chart with a number of key events that occurred around 20 that may have contributed to the demise of her friendship with Ron, culminating in the infamous "Morningstar" incident. He eventually can't take any more of Leslie's nonsense and after she sings "We didn't start the fire" with all the wrong lyrics he agrees to speak with her for three minutes. As a result, Ron chooses to sit in silence while Leslie pesters him to get him to talk. However, Leslie's pretend version of her apologizing for being too caring and Ron admitting to being stubborn does not sit well with Ron her sarcastic alternate is more to Ron's liking, which leads to Leslie throwing the monitor on the ground and destroying their only means of an early exit. Leslie proposes they simply wait a few minutes, then turn on the baby monitor left for them and inform Ben they have talked it out and made up. Neither can bear the thought of being alone with each other for ten hours, but the pair are unable to escape via any means. Leslie Knope and Ron Swanson are alone together in their old stomping ground, the headquarters of the Department of Parks and Recreation.
