* ShaggyDogStory: Marcy finally gets the promotion she spends the whole episode seeking, only to find out that her boss agrees on the promotion only because she can "shake it" after seeing her perform at the Nudie Bar, which she does only as part of Al's conditions for agreeing to sell his Dodge. Marcy, the StrawFeminist that she is, punches him in anger, which results in a riot inside the bar that leads him to being arrested for said riot and her being ReassignedToAntarctica as the result, though she's shown to be willing to forgo her promotion for her own principle, if her PreAsskickingOneLiner before punching her boss out is any indication.
