2771"The Tina Table: The Tables Have Tina-ed"Bernard DerrimanGreg ThompsonSeptember 29, 2024 (2024-09-29)DASA160.72[2]

Tina's boring Wagstaff News segment is in danger of being cancelled. She agrees to feature Mr. Frond's new counseling computer game, which he designed. The game diagnoses students' personality types and becomes a sensation. However, it diagnoses wildly contrary personality types to the students, who begin working to conform to their results. As the game moves toward district-wide rollout, Tina discovers that Henry Haber hastily programmed it for Frond, who knows the game gives randomized results. She struggles on whether to reveal the truth, given how popular her show has become. She has Frond play the game live and, thanks to Henry's programming help, it negatively diagnoses him, forcing him to admit on air that the game is fake. With the rollout cancelled, students return to their lives, and Mr. Grant opts to keep Tina's show, appreciating her commitment to the truth.

Meanwhile, Bob and Linda begin giving Teddy fake, elaborate spoilers for horror movies that he's too scared to see. One of Bob's imaginative summaries actually motivates Teddy to see one of the films, ultimately exposing their ruse. However, Teddy finds Bob and Linda's stories more creative than the actual films and asks for more, which they happily oblige.
2782"Saving Favorite Drive-In"Brian LoschiavoKatie CrownOctober 6, 2024 (2024-10-06)DASA170.75[3]

The community attends the final screening at the Cosmic Drive-In before it goes up for sale the next day. Bob is nostalgic, remembering being young and lonely and meeting and getting to know his friend Ramona there for the first time. He attempts to create a petition to save the run down theater, but attendees are less enthusiastic. He also sets up a fundraising web campaign for people to donate to, but before the screening begins, the drive-in's owner Evelyn tells him that she wants to sell because business has dwindled and she would like to do more things in her old age. She reassures Bob that the memories he has of this place won't go away, which Bob accepts.

Meanwhile, Gene and Louise dip into Tina's candy stash and worry about being caught, but Tina reveals that she knew all along and just enjoyed watching them squirm. Simultaneously, Linda's inability to properly use her phone lands her in trouble when a mean comment she wrote gets sent to a fellow PTA mom on a group chat. Despite attempts to conceal it, being honest and admitting what she did ultimately clears the air between them.
2793"Colon-ly the Dronely"Ryan MattosLindsey StoddartOctober 20, 2024 (2024-10-20)DASA181.38[4]

Teddy asks Linda to help him pick up Kathleen from her colonoscopy after he has a work accident that renders him unable to drive. Linda agrees, but they encounter several obstacles, to the point of giving up. Teddy confesses that he really wants to pick Kathleen up as an expression of his love for her, so they persevere and take Kathleen home.

Meanwhile, the kids learn that recess has been cancelled so Mr. Frond can shoot a costly aerial drone video of the school for the school website. Louise hatches a plan to prank the shoot with large fart using a fog machine, while the other students want to do a dance. Seeing how important it is to them, she relents at the last minute. The video is used on the website despite their stunt.

Bob uses the last of a miraculous shampoo Linda found by the dumpster, only to learn that it was the discontinued signature shampoo of a woman who Mort recently prepared a funeral for. The woman's grieving family recognize the unique scent while they eat at Bob's restaurant, and after figuring out what happened, they ask to smell his hair to remember her one last time.
2804"For Whom the Doll Toes"Simon ChongLoren BouchardOctober 27, 2024 (2024-10-27)DASA200.71[5]
Gene is depressed after being excluded from a party thrown by other boys in his grade. After they pass by a local doll store being cared for by their substitute teacher Ms. Bisselbender, Louise invites the Belchers the next day to attend a doll murder mystery at the store that she planned and proceeds to act out with Ms. Bisselbender's assistance. It becomes clear that the murder mystery is lifted from Gene's exclusion by the other boys, but Gene plays along at Louise's insistence. The murderer is revealed to be the "Gene" doll's younger sister, and Louise finally admits that she overheard the circumstances that lead Gene to be excluded: The boys made fun of Ms. Bisselbender's camel toe, but Gene immediately defended her, causing the boys to secretly opt not to invite him to their party. Louise overheard their plan, but failed to come to Gene's defense, and has since wrestled with both her admiration of Gene's openness at speaking up, and her disappointment in her own silence and inaction. The family reassures Louise that she can talk to any of them when she needs to process difficult feelings like these.
