A man trying to row from New Zealand to Nova Scotia visits the restaurant to have a burger and it changes everything.
Oh Trope You Didn't:
- Bottle Episode: The majority of the episode takes place in the restaurant, until it changes a bit to the pier.
- The Bus Came Back: Ralph makes a return to interview Quincy.
- Cutaway Gag: When Quincy describes the negative parts of his trip that were cut out of the footage he uploaded, the episode cuts to these parts as the audience sees just what he's talking about.
- Earn Your Happy Ending: Quincy decides to see his rowing through to the end, and one month later makes it to Nova Scotia. Gene also manages to get better at origami, making a frog that Bob displayed in the restaurant. Lastly, while Bob's wish for publicity from Quincy eating at the restaurant doesn't explicitly happen, the end of the episode shows that a photo of the Belchers alongside Quincy made it into the news, suggesting that it nonetheless happened anyway.
- From Bad to Worse: The Belchers were already not really having any success with talking Quincy out of quitting, but things get even worse when Ralph's opening questions are exclusively about the worst parts of his trip.
- Implausible Deniability: Linda keeps turning off Ralph's voice recorder to keep him from making Quincy feel worse, then denies that she even touched it, ultimately trying to smash it with her fist while claiming she's doing it to "check if the batteries are still good" and commenting how he's supposedly the one being weird about the recorder.
- Impossibly Delicious Food: Bob's food, already highly praised by everyone who eats it, is so good that Quincy not only cries eating it, but decides to quit rowing on the spot (since it reminds him of how much he misses land).
- Sanity Slippage: Rowing in the open ocean for months has done a number on poor Quincy's psyche.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Gene quits origami club after one meeting because it was too hard. Linda tries to make him stick with it, since he's been quitting a lot of things lately. Then Quincy comes into the restaurant and decides to quit rowing because the burger reminds him of how he missed being on land, which seems to validate Gene's decision. In the end, Bob tells Gene that the great things in life are hard, and he shouldn't be so quick to quit something because he's not good at it at first; while Quincy seeing Bob row his boat (badly) makes him want to row again.
- Shout-Out:
- The Store Next Door is "American Typo".
- The Exterminator Van is "Still of the Gnat", a reference to "Still of the Night", a song by Whitesnake.
- The Burger of the Day is the "Mold Man and the Sea Burger".
- In one of his flashbacks, Quincy is seen arguing with a seagull about Footloose.
