Suck It Up and Apologize
Season nine, episode 13—“Bed, Bob & Beyond”—sees the Belcher family heading to a Valentine’s Day movie. The kids are hoping rom-com magic will soften the tension between their parents, who are in an extended fight over dirty laundry. When a popcorn fire shuts down the theater, the kids take turns inventing creatively embellished endings for the movie during the car ride home. Though the story contains generous helpings of Speed, Titanic, The King’s Speech, and Notting Hill, it’s Louise’s Sharknado-inspired laundry tornado grand finale that somehow nudges Bob and Linda to realize they’ve been silly, and to set aside their differences at last.
