"We better reload, then."

Doug meets up with his old friend, Jeff Sussman, at a High School reunion. It turns out Sussman -- who, along with Doug, were once wild party animals back in their school days -- has grown up and matured, and is now the school's principal - or so he claims. It turns out he's really just the principal's assistant, and he's grown frustrated and tired of his job.

That night, at the reunion party, Doug and Jeff decide to bring the back the "glory" days -- they decide to egg Principal Nagel's car. What starts off simply as an innocent prank, leads to Jeff becoming increasingly enraged with his life and job, and he becomes more wild, even dangerous, deciding they should do more than just egg the car. This begins with Jeff peeing into the principal's car and eventually escalates to a break-in into a store and a plan to rob and then kidnap the principal. I won't spoil the ending, but let's just say it involves the cops and an escape to Mexico.

One of the best King of Queens episodes. Sandler is just awesome as Jeff "The Beast" Sussman, a character who is frustrated with his tedious job and mundane life, and just snaps, going to ridiculous-yet-hilarious lengths to get revenge against his boss. There's also a funny side-story where Spence gets confused for a lesbian woman at the party, and Danny hooks up with a gay football star, just to prove to Spence that he still 'has it'.

10/10
