9. Beware of sleepwalkers
Season four’s “Turkey in a Can” sees Bob’s careful, multi-day preparations ahead of the big meal go terribly awry when someone keeps dropping the brine-bathing bird into the Belcher family toilet. A whodunnit swirls around the house (which includes Linda’s high-maintenance sister, Gayle, who’s visiting with her herd of cats) while the culprit remains at large, and a frantic Bob must keep buying replacement turkeys from an increasingly flirty supermarket meat-department guy. In the end it’s revealed to be Bob himself—stressed and hopped-up on allergy medicine—sleepwalking his way to dooming the dinners. Repeatedly. It’s very delightful and heartwarming, somehow.
