Louis Frapelli has lost a bet with fast-food rival, Roland Blimpy, which means the restaurant will become another branch of Blimpy's. The horrified staff become Blimpettes overnight, and new manager Ivor Willis delights in demoting TJ back to the shop floor. But Vince thinks that they can use Blimpy's weakness for gambling to their advantage, and has TJ challenge Willis to a chocolate éclair-eating contest. A stuffed TJ is victorious, and the restaurant lives to serve another Spatz burger.
