BOB’S BURGERS – “STIEBLITZ’S PATTIES AND THE FUTURE-FEST”
OPENING SCENE – TINA & ZEKE’S HORSE FARM
On a peaceful horse farm, TINA, ZEKE, and their drama-loving son TIM prepare to visit the family restaurant’s big event. Tim reads his latest poem, “Oats of the Heart,” while Tina saddles up their pickup truck (no horses this time—Moonkiss doesn’t do food trucks).
INT. STIEBLITZ’S PATTIES – FUTURE-FEST BEGINS
LOUISE and RUDY welcome everyone to the First Annual Belcher Future-Fest. The restaurant’s name has changed to Stieblitz’s Patties—a nod to Rudy’s last name—with a slick makeover, but the same chaotic energy.
GENE sets up a concert with his band Beef Thief, featuring ALEX, PETER, and flamboyant keyboardist DRL. His girlfriend KATE shows up, throws him a kiss, and calls dibs on the front row for any emotional fallout.
THE RETIREMENT CREW ARRIVES
BOB, LINDA, TEDDY, and KATHLEEN roll in from Sunburn Cove Retirement Village wearing matching shirts and dragging a cooler full of prune margaritas. Linda’s thrilled, Bob’s confused, and Teddy’s just happy to smell burgers again.
FLASHBACK – RESTAURANT TRANSFER
We flash back to the emotional day Bob passed the spatula to Louise and Rudy. The name “Stieblitz’s Patties” is born, and Bob silently sobs into a pickle jar. Everyone hugs through the fryer steam.
BURGER BATTLE & BAND CHAOS
Bob and Louise face off in a “Legacy Burger Battle.” Bob’s traditional flavors clash with Louise’s bold chaos-burger style. Meanwhile, Beef Thief blasts a set featuring “Dill With It,” “Mayonnaise Dreams,” and the legendary closer “Burger in the Front, Party in the Buns.”
GAYLE storms in with an emotional art reveal: the family as burger-people in a conga line. She also unveils a melting butter bust of Bob, declaring, “It’s supposed to be ephemeral!”
FAMILY MOMENTS
TINA reflects on her old flames and how chaos turned into comfort with Zeke and Tim. TIM performs a burger-themed spoken-word poem titled “My Patties, My Pain.” Everyone pretends not to be deeply moved.
FINAL SCENE – SUNBURN COVE PATIO
The family surprises Bob and Linda at their retirement village with an unannounced visit. Burgers sizzle on a portable grill. Tim performs “Golden Years, Grilled Fears,” Gayle paints the gang as emotional seagulls, and Gene’s band delivers an unplugged burger ballad.
Bob smiles—equal parts peace and indigestion—as chaos and love fill the patio.
