History Recap / KingOfTheHillS12E20CopsAndRobert

* SpecialGuest: Fred Willard as Officer Brown.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** Even though the whole thing was caused by accident, Barry's actions to get back at Hank, Bill and Boomhauer become borderline murderous when he meets them for the first time. Hank does give Barry back his wallet and apologizes, but ends up pressing charges anyway given that he tried to assault the three repeatedly and in public.
** Dale's scheme to make some easy cash backfires greatly when the manager of Bazooms! fires him for giving away free food on the job so that he could get bigger tips, which is a violation of rules.

* FrivolousLawsuit: Dale applies for a job at Bazooms! specifically so that he can sue them for discrimination when they turn him down for being male, but that is subverted when he is offered the position. He accepts it in hopes that they won't tolerate a man working as a waitress there for very long (again, letting him sue for discrimination when Barry accidentally grabs his Daisy Dukes and pulls them down, letting him claim it's a hostile workplace enviroment), but that is ''also'' subverted when [[DidNotThinkThisThrough he starts giving away free food to get bigger tips]], [[ItMakesSenseInContext giving them]] ''[[ItMakesSenseInContext a perfectly legal reason]]'' [[ItMakesSenseInContext to fire him]].

* CreateYourOwnVillain: A very inadvertent example. Hank accidentally mugs Barry under the mistaken impression the latter pickpocketed him, only to realize his wallet was put in her purse, but due to [[PoorCommunicationKills miscommunication when he calls him]], is misinterpreted by Barry as threatening him. Barry, having been [[ExtremeDoormat passive for too much of his life]], finally snaps and threatens Hank and his friends with violence despite every attempt from the latter to return Barry's wallet.

Hank, Bill and Boomhauer drive to Barry's home to return his wallet, but after they knock on his door he comes out and chases them with a baseball bat and the guys flee in Hank's truck. Barry gets in his car and pursues them. Officer Brown and Bobby see Hank run a red light and Barry chasing them. Officer Brown activates his lights and siren and follows the two vehicles to Bazooms!, the new Hooter's-esque sports bar where Dale is working. The man is apprehended by Officer Brown at the restaurant and everybody is safe. After the arrest, Hank returns Barry's wallet and decides to press charges on Barry for assault. As for Dale, he demands that the manager give him and the waitresses money for his being assaulted. The manager agrees to do so, but only for the women as Dale had been giving away free food, which is a form of employee theft. Dale tries to get the women to back him up by claiming the manager looked down his shirt, but they refuse and Dale is fired.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Hank contacts Barry Rollins attempting to explain that he wants to return Barry's wallet, but his poor choice of words end up sounding like a threat.
