Peg and her friends announce they are coming to the nudie bar to find out what the appeal is, so NO MA’AM holds a strategy meeting in the garage. Bud turns out to already be a regular. Kelly is cast in a commercial for a weight loss shake.
Al needs batteries for a flashlight so he can fix the basement step before Hondo starts, and ends up locked inside a closed supermarket. Bud and Kelly throw Buck a birthday party he does not want. Broadcast in 3-D as part of FOX’s sweeps stunt.
The mall makes its employees carpool, and Al is assigned to a car with three models, which goes differently than he expects. Bud comes home with straight As and the Dean’s List and nobody cares. Marcy’s bank is sponsoring the whole scheme.
Peg makes Al advertise the Dodge for sale, which brings a parade of unsuitable buyers to the door. Then the Dodge Corporation offers him a brand new Viper for the right to film the old car crossing one million miles. Al has to drive the last of it on camera.
Peg’s birthday present to Al is a boudoir photo of herself, which then gets enlarged into a billboard next to the shoe store. Al finds he does not enjoy other men looking at it. Bud and Kelly keep buying him things he already owns and hates.
Al needs a minor operation on his back, and the surgical team misreads the instruction. Peg finds out from a hospital payphone in the middle of a call to Marcy. The rest of the episode is the family trying to keep a recovering Al from getting excited.
Al hires a young Polk High graduate who idolizes him, and then learns the boy is about to get married. Al’s response is to take him to the mall lounge and show him what marriage does to men. Kelly, meanwhile, has inhaled a canister of bug spray.
Al books a week alone at a mountain cabin and Peg and Marcy both invite themselves along, then spend the trip arguing with each other. Back home, Bud, Kelly and Jefferson discover Marcy’s credit card and put it to immediate use. Nobody involved has a good week except Jefferson.
