Full story[]
The episode begins with the Belcher family eating breakfast. The kids began to talk about getting a dog they saw a week earlier, and fail to convince Bob that the should get one as well, with Bob pointing out the costs and that they do not like working hard on anything.
When walking out to open the restaurant, the family see a long line at Jimmy Pesto's. Jimmy taunts hem and explains that he is selling brunch, hence the popularity. After a discussion, the Belchers agree to server brunch as well.
Mr. Fischoeder comes into the restaurant, saying that he's looking for Felix. Bob discovers a trash bag in the restaurant and makes Louise take it out. Louise finds Felix hiding behind the dumpster in the alley, and he explains that he's hiding from his brother, but does not go into detail.
Mr. Fischoeder searches for Felix in the kitchen, when Louise comes back in with the trash still in hand. As a result, Mr. Fischoeder suspects that Felix is in the alley. Although not finding him, he says a blond hair he found was left by Felix. After Louise and Gene go into the basement, Felix is shown dropping off of the light above the back door, saying that hanging there hurt his fingers.
Bob and Linda leave to go get ingredients for the eggs Benedict for the brunch burgers they intend to sell the next day, Louise signals Felix, who goes to hide in the restaurant basement. He says that he needs to win a hide and seek record by staying hidden until 12:30 PM the next day; he explains that he and Calvin play hide and seek on their birthdays every year, the birthday boy hides, the other seeks, and his birthday was 19 days prior. Calvin's record means 20, and Felix wishes to beat it. To keep the secret, Felix says he will give them $250 to stay hidden.
It then shows Bob cooking in preparation for the brunch, as the kids go down to the basement to get the tomatoes. Felix is shown very cold from staying in the walk-in all night, and Felix is given a jacket. Gene comes in in a remake of his Beefsquatch costume to drum up business. A blogger, Dalton a.k.a "Dame Judi Brunch," comes in to review the brunch and seems to like the food.
Despite a lot of business, the customers have so far only ordered mimosas, with only the blogger and his party ordering meals. Mr. Fischoeder comes in, saying he needs to find Felix. Fischoeder orders brunch and talks about how he needs to find Felix to Louise.
After Linda talks to Bob about the blogger, Louise talks about re-hiding Felix. With Fischoeder getting snarky about how he'll find Felix, Teddy falls unconscious out of drunkenness. With nobody ordering food, Dalton realizes that the brunch has attracted "Brunch skunks," and tells Linda how a brunch needs a mandatory meal minimum and watered down mimosas to prevent a situation like this. With the customers getting drunk, Fischoeder goes down to the basement only to find Gene in the walk-in locker.
The Belchers plan to get the drunken costumers out of the restaurant, and Fischoeder can't find Felix. Back up in the restaurant, Fischoeder realizes that Felix is hiding in the Brunchsquatch costume, and manages to catch him before the time. After attempting to kick out the customers, they begin a drunken brawl which is intervened in by the police, who arrest the drunks. A week later, the Belchers invite Dalton over and cook him a private brunch while the kids play with his dog that he brought over.
