Ep. 31: In this episode, Tess is dating a new guy, Tony, who she likes a lot, only to find out through Meiyan that Tony is actually Pattie's ex-boyfriend Pookie, who Pattie misses big time! First, Tess tries to hide the fact that she's dating Pookie because she's afraid Pattie will kill her, but she eventually comes clean. Unfortunately while Tess is confessing, Pattie thinks that Tess is trying to get her back together with Pookie! She believes this because as Tess is confessing, a loud airplane flies over Bulky's and Pattie misunderstands Tess because of the noise. Meanwhile, Ben gets angry at Robyn for having another job as a newspaper writer in addition to working at Bulky's. Ben gives Robyn an ultimatum to quit her newspaper job or lose her job at the restaurant, until he finds out that her next writing job is to be a food critic. Ben backs down when he figures Robyn can write a good food review for Bulky's in the critique, thereby increasing sales. However because Alex wants to work less, he encourages Robyn to write a "bad review". Robyn not wanting to lose her Bulky's job, only mentions the loud airplanes flying over the restaurant, upsetting Ben until he realizes that is the very reason Bulky's has a sudden increase in customers.
