Plot summary

The episode picks up where the previous one left off, where it is revealed that Elka and Mamie Sue are running an illegal pharmacy to provide lower-cost medicines for the elderly. But when an ex-spelling bee contestant, Tommy ( Danny Pudi ), goes to pick up his grandfather's medication and reveals that he used to sell pills illegally before the women moved in on his business, he proposes to buy their stockpile or he will burn their house down. The ladies plot to have Detective Bob's brother Claude ( Brian Baumgartner ) pretend to be a major mob boss named Salvatore ("Sally from Cincinnati") to scare Tommy off. But things go awry when the actual Sally ( William Shatner ) shows up. Note: Live episode.
