The Heart, She Holler is a live-action television series produced by PFFR for Adult Swim. The series, described as "Southern Gothic drama" and "an inside-out blend of soap opera and politically incorrect surrealist comedy", is about the long-hidden and isolated son of the Heartshe dynasty – played by Patton Oswalt – returning to run the town and being locked in conflict with sisters Hurshe (Kristen Schaal) and Hambrosia (Heather Lawless). The show premiered on November 6, 2011, for a six-episode first season. A 14-episode second season premiered on September 11, 2013, and a third season premiered in December 2014.
Using her psychic powers, Hambrosia is startled to discover that the Holler is deserted. MeeMaw then summons Hambrosia to come to her in the hospital, where she briefly assumes the form of a child before telling Hambrosia a story about the holler.
The story starts with Hurlan asking Hoss for advice after destroying his genitals with a paper shredder. Alarmed that this would mean the end of the Heartshe bloodline, Hoss orders Hurlan to steal some of Hoss's old semen from a sperm bank. Knowing Hurlan lacks the drive to pull off a successful heist, he also orders Hurlan to smoke the blood of a black man, which will fill him with a lust for theft. However, Hurlan blows instead of sucks, creating a bubble of blood that floats out of the office with Hurlan in fast pursuit.
Meanwhile, Sheriff is rejected by Hurshe, who is more interested in hooking to make money. Dejected, Sheriff returns home to Hambrosia, who tells Sheriff that MeeMaw wants the two of them to have a baby. Although Hambrosia is barren, she has hired her sister, Hurshe, to be their surrogate, although she insists it be done surgically.
In the hospital, Doc combines Sheriff's semen with Hambrosia's eggs. After Doc puts the resulting goo into Hurshe, she immediately gives birth to a giant, glowing, yellow maggot, with which she feels an immediate and very intense bond. She refuses to give it up, planning to peddle the creature's love to her Johns in order to afford a high class singing bass.
Hurlan, meanwhile, keeps chasing the bubble of blood hither and thither until he throws up and collapses in exhaustion.
