Episode #109 "Forgotten, But Not Gone"

hether it's running errands or doing household repairs, it seems to Pamela and Butch that they spend most of their time taking care of their parents. Kimberly scares Robbie into believing that he's losing his hair and then convinces him to wear a concoction of olive oil, garlic powder and egg whites wrapped in cellophane as an antidote. Danny suggests that maybe it's time for Bill and Joan to move to a retirement community; Elizabeth could even sell their house for them. Charlie tells Robbie that Kimberly's just messing with him; Robbie needs to get revenge. Although Joan is happy to check out the retirement community, Bill presents a challenge to Pamela and Butch. The offer of a free VCR just for taking the tour convinces him. After the tour, Bill is quick to sign the necessary papers. The prospect of free drinks and croquet appeals to him. Robbie decides to make Kimberly think that the goo on his head has penetrated his brain. He pretends to be getting headaches and feeling dizzy. Pamela and Butch are in heaven with no chores to do for their parents until they get a call from Stately Pines that their parents have been naughty. Bill and Joan were caught sneaking into the hot tub after hours. In addition, Bill is guilty of organizing craps games, leaving messages on vehicles with a permanent marker and defacing the Stately Pines sign to read "Stately Penis." Joan takes Butch aside and asks him to get them out of there. She hates it, but doesn't have the nerve to tell Bill, because he's having so much fun. Butch tells Pamela they have to do something to get Joan back home; Pamela's not inclined to do anything now that they're finally free of their parents. In cahoots with Robbie, Charlie tells Kimberly that Robbie has blood poisoning from the stuff on his head, but she isn't buying it. In a final attempt to appeal to sentiment before the family house is sold, Butch walks Bill around talking about all the happy memories there have been. Bill just wants to leave. Butch tells Bill that Joan's unhappy, but Bill assures him that Joan will get used to the new place. But later that night Bill and Joan arrive at Pamela's house, and Joan announces that Bill got them kicked out of Stately Pines. Butch congratulates Bill that he did it to make Joan happy. Joan says it's a shame, because she was just starting to get used to the place.
