Welcome to this week's episode of Jane Fonda's climate protest.

In this fourth edition, the iconic actor and activist brings fellow actors Rosanna Arquette and Catherine Keener to Washington, D.C. for a climate protest. And — predictable plot point alert — it all ends with them getting arrested.

Fonda first took to Capitol Hill in early October, pledging to get arrested every Friday for 14 weeks to protest climate change inaction by the U.S. government. And after her first successful arrest, she started including some celebrity pals: her Grace and Frankie costar Sam Waterston, and then Cheers' Ted Danson, who looked delighted to be there. This week, it was Arquette and Keener who joined Fonda inside the Hart Senate Office Building for a sit-in before their eventual zip-tie handcuff treatment.

Camera-shy climate protesters who may have stayed away from Fonda's celebrity-packed events may want to reconsider next week. Fonda says she's bringing the namesake founders of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, and they'll be providing dessert.
