Bob is panicking over a plan to increase his burger prices by $1 apiece, which leads to him reflecting on the restaurant's origins, as the kids compose an elaborate and insulting musical "tribute" to their parents and the restaurant: A younger newlywed Bob was a short order cook, and Linda was a secretary for an insurance company. Linda finds the Wonder Wharf location and gets Mr. Fischoeder's OK to have the space once they come up with a down payment, which Linda sources from the condo fund she'd been saving for since she was a teenager. She signs the location's lease for Bob, encouraging him to pursue his dreams while simultaneously revealing she is pregnant with Tina. The Belchers move in and renovate, meeting handyman Teddy and a toupee-wearing Mort. During the restaurant's grand opening, a panicked Bob stress vomits, while Linda goes into labor, forcing them to close early with no official sales. When Tina is born, Bob suddenly feels less afraid of the future, recognizing that he must be strong for Tina, and he re-does the grand opening shortly after they bring Tina home. Back in the present, Bob ups his regular burger price to $6.00 and the special to $6.95, and prepares for the lunch shift. | |||||||

Gayle, offended by Linda's lack of support, bans Linda from her show, where she will marry one of the two as part of a performance piece, but also intends to formally marry the chosen man. Linda is blocked by the security guard, per Gayle's request, but sneaks onto the roof and yells for Gayle not to go through with it. Gayle sees Linda wearing a necklace she made, and realizes that the person she needs to be happy is herself and her art, and opts to marry herself, with Linda as her bridesmaid. | |||||||

The Belcher kids find out there are seventh grade boys competing in illegal sock slide-racing in the halls. Stuart and head hall monitor Maggie are being bribed with candy to allow it. With Rudy's help, they manage to record evidence of the races along with Maggie confessing about the bribery. They use it as blackmail to get Tina reinstated and promoted to head hall monitor. Meanwhile, Bob is excited to re-take his driver's license photo as his current one is embarrassing. He reluctantly allows Gretchen to trim and style his mustache to model for her salon, which is a disaster. Gretchen's attempt to fix it makes it worse.

Tina has Louise distract Linda during the swap by telling her to tell the truth, banking that Linda will think Louise's story is a hallucination. The swap succeeds. While Tina and Gene celebrate their successful gambit, Linda and Bob secretly celebrate that Louise didn't blab about them allowing her to stay up late to watch a horror movie without Tina and Gene. Meanwhile, Teddy is nervous about picking up Kathleen's very stringent Catholic mother at the airport during her visit. While trying to gain her approval at the restaurant by pretending to be Catholic, he too late realizes that he picked up another Irish Catholic woman whose daughter's name also happens to be Kathleen. He rushes to pick up the correct woman while arranging for the other Kathleen, a bodybuilder, to pick up her mother at the restaurant. | |||||||

They try to privately urge Zek not to go with her to the dance, but Zek expresses frustration that no one is ever interested in him for things like dancing or dating and that at least Penelope is. Realizing that Zek is a soft-hearted romantic, Tina and Jimmy Jr. approach Zek and invite him to be their dance date together, telling him that he deserves to be with people who care about him and like him. They leave Penelope at the restaurant and Zek excitedly makes plans to coordinate their outfits and a dance routine for all three of them. Meanwhile, Hugo brings along a rat catcher, seeking a large "super rat" near the restaurant. When Bob accidentally lets it in, the Belchers feel sympathy for it and secretly capture it and let it go free without Hugo or the rat catcher knowing. | |||||||
