Herb and Bailey go to a charity auction sponsored by Carlson's church. Bailey feels she is too broke to really buy anything but falls in love with a painting there. Herb buys the painting, not out of love, but merely to show Carlson he is a team player and get some brownie points. After realizing Les {who was supposed to attend with him and go halfsies on something with him) ditched him to go visit his mother and didn't really want to participate, Herb just gives the painting to Bailey in frustration. After Jennifer tells him the painting was donated from a wealthy family and might be worth some real money, Herb tries to get the painting back. The rest of the episode is another character study for Herb Tarlek, exploring the lengths he goes to in order to make a buck. Both Bailey and Les end up teaching him a lesson in humility and compassion, which Herb has in short supply when money is involved. Sharp, funny writing as usual.

The perils of church auctions. $100 painting comes between them. 'Pinions fly. They lie. Greedy sty. Oh my. They wear delectable outfits. Philosophical titan clash. Smithers needless needles Tarlek in painful places. 20 Stars.
