When Al's boss Gary is presumed dead in a plane crash, he spends $300 on flowers, hoping that his generosity and condolences will be noticed and that he will finally get the recognition/promotion that he believes he deserves. In a stroke of typical Bundy bad luck, Gary turns out to have survived the crash, and all flowers that were sent are given to charity. Al says that if he isn't thanked by his boss, he will quit his job, and proves to be a man of his word. However, after one day at home with Peggy, he comes crawling back to the shoe store to get his old job back.
'Where's the Boss?' is a so-so episode with a few amusing lines ("I'd kill before I let you go naked, and no jury would convict me either.") but not enough real belters. The show ends on a satisfying note with Al going the extra mile to get one over on his fellow mall employees - nice to see Al getting the upper hand for a change, even if it costs him cold hard cash.
