Aaah! The faint rustle of dollars...
BA_Harrison4 September 2022
Al goes to the racetrack with Steve after work, and the unthinkable happens: he wins $1250 on a trifecta, meaning that he now has the problem of keeping the cash hidden from his greedy family while he figures out how to spend his unexpected windfall. Steve has also won a modest sum of cash, and Al convinces him not share it with Marcy.

Father Lode is an average episode of MWC enlivened by a sexy daydream for Al, in which a really hot woman in red (Teri Weigel) enters his shoe store and tells him she wants him. Ironically, that very same woman comes into the shop later for real, but Al isn't there to see her. This episode also benefits from a good final gag in which Al gets his own back on Steve, who has slowly been fleecing him of his winnings.

Peggy Smells Money!
Sylviastel28 May 2009
Peggy knows that Al has money and she's determined to get it from him. When he goes to the racetrack with Steve unknown to Marcy herself, they come home winners especially Al. He doesn't know what to do with the money so he has to find hiding places and keep having sex with Peggy to stop her from discovering it. While Steve only won a modest amount, he still hasn't told Marcy where he went with Al. "I thought it was odd that Steve and Al went to the library" Marcy replies. It's an okay episode but it's not one of the best. Al decides to finally get a new car stereo since his was stolen but Peggy's car in the shop for repairs so she has to use his car. So Al has to get rid of the stereo himself.
