Diana Bellamy
Al insults a customer on his birthday and is tied to a chair in the shoe store and tried for Crimes Against Obesity. The prosecution’s evidence is archive footage of things he actually said across ten seasons. Peggy takes the stand to help, which does not help.
Al learns the shoe store’s owner has died and is bothered only that he never got any recognition from a boss he has never met. When Gary turns out to be alive, Al pays a man to impersonate him so he can hear it said. His resignation speech follows.
The episode that opened FOX’s first night of prime time, on April 5, 1987. Al has to choose between a basketball game and meeting the new neighbors, Steve and Marcy Rhoades. Nancy becomes the first of the shoe store’s oversized customers, and Kelly gets the series’ first line.
