9. Lois vs. Evil

Lois finds out that Dewey stole a $150 bottle of cognac from the store she works at. She makes him return it, but finds that she has been fired by an assistant manager named Mr. Pinter who has been bullying Lois for her entire time there. This leaves the family struggling financially, especially when Hal eats peaches, a food he's allergic to, and they get back an expensive hospital bill. Lois gets her job back from Pinter when she confronts him for his own misbehavior, which all the other employees overhear, resulting in Pinter quitting. Concurrently, Francis, while volunteering at a beauty pageant, gains special backstage dressing room access when some of the contestants think he's gay. He tries to tell one of the contestants that he wants to become straight, and that she could help him, but she instead sends him to a Christian conversion camp.
