Plot[]

When Bob's friend Warren comes to town he makes an offer to invest in the restaurant; Bob is thrilled that it finally could get a much-needed makeover, until he learns that Warren has some strong interior design choices in mind. Meanwhile, Warren's visit means one of the kids must give up their bedroom.

Reception[]

Alasdair Wilkins of The A.V. Club gave the episode a C+, he explained his rating by saying, "The result in both cases is a curiously lifeless episode, as the sluggish narrative construction doesn't provide the right kind of environment for the jokes to produce more than occasional chuckles. There's a version of this episode that is an all-time great, but it would likely need to be a daring story, one that subverts audience expectations and mines much of its humor from those apparent incongruities. Hell, maybe this needed to be a two-parter: I could see myself being far more on board with the slow burn of Bob's issues if it had led to a cliffhanger as, say, Warren went to war with Bob over control of his restaurant, rather than a pat ending and a quick reset."^[1]

The episode received a 1.1 rating and was watched by a total of 2.35 million people.^[2]
