Synopsis[]

Meanwhile, Teddy moves his phone repair service into the restaurant.
Plot[]
The episode starts in the kitchen, with the Belchers discussing Gloria's birthday. Linda tells the kids not to make poorly done gifts for their grandmother this year. Bob tells them not to do the same to his dad.
At lunch, the kids start discussing a legend about a wall built over a ceramics room that got burnt right before a school board inspection. They consider breaking into the room to get the hand-made gifts. The kids ask teachers, who all deny it happened, while Mr. Ambrose suggests they look for it. A coffee mug he stole from the lounge had a name on it, and they visit Rose Reynolds, the former student who made it, and she says it did indeed happen. She offers them her yearbook as they leave, and they decide to use it to find the room.
They successfully find where the wall is, under some lockers in that hallway. They agree to break a hole in the room's wall next door. After breaking it, they discover it leads to a broom closet. They look closely at the picture and realize it's backward, and the room is between the science and math rooms. Since the science room has clubs every lunch and math has tutoring, they plan to break through the lockers.
When they get home, they ask Teddy how to cut through a locker. He gives them instructions and lends them the necessary tools (they claimed to have dropped a penny behind it). They successfully break through the locker and wall and discover that the legend is true. Mr. Frond then discovers them doing this.
Frond brings them to his office and tells them he's calling their parents. Louise notices he took the flashlight and saw, but not the other tools. They find him taking a vase and discover he rigged the class secretary election. He agrees not to punish them if they keep it a secret. Louise decides not to do it, and they make the gifts in the pottery room. Their grandparents say they love the gifts.
Teddy moves his business repairing phones into the restaurant and proves to be annoying while working. Teddy annoys Bob by clogging the employee toilet and trying to break down the door. He then accidentally launches a screw and searches a customer's food, then under his seat for it. Teddy decides to do the job at home, calling Bob "annoying to work with."
