Al starts charging Bud rent, which makes Bud a tenant with rights. Bud calls the city, a health inspector declares Al a slumlord and confines him to the basement until he makes repairs. Kelly, meanwhile, has enrolled in an improv class and needs situations to practice.
The series’ last Christmas episode. Gary hires two young replacements and Al and Griff end up working the mall. Marcy is chasing the decorating prize, Bud and Kelly have kidnapped her nativity figures, and Peggy has baked a gingerbread model of the entire neighborhood.
The Dodge is failing, and Al treats it as a medical emergency, complete with a specialist, a chart and a diagnosis. The rest of the family quietly starts shopping the parts around. The only fuel pump that will fit is rumored to be in Cuba.
