* CheatersNeverProsper[=/=]LaserGuidedKarma: Tom's old ice skating rival, Rod Dynamite, used a compact mirror to reflect some lights into Tom's and Anne's eyes so they would be temporarily blinded and mess up their skating routine, ensuring his victory with his wife [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and causing Tom to go bald]]. In the present day, the Harpers are trying a promo to attract customers to Get Sporty. Rod once again uses a mirror to shine some light into Tom's eyes, causing him to fall and knockout his two front teeth, and also takes some socks without paying. Finally, he airs a commercial taking some footage of the Harper kids out of context to insult their own store (filmed by his own daughter Tess, no less). At the end, the Harper kids sabatoge Rod's store with the store's heating system and defective tennis balls that were supposed to be recalled, and it's revealed that Rod's hair is only a wig and, unlike Tom, he is completely bald. The excessive heat caused by the Harper kids' tampering also caused Tiffany's [Rod's wife] makeup to melt, revealing that she has horrible skin and an ugly face.
