Synopsis[]
When Tina accidentally damages the family car, she struggles with feelings of guilt when Bob decides to lie to the insurance agent. Her remorse turns to anger when it turns out the insurance adjuster commits insurance fraud.
Plot[]
Bob decides to let Tina get behind the wheel and she manages to hit the only other car in the parking lot. The car ends up being Jimmy's, who files a claim against Bob, so Bob convinces Tina to lie to the insurance agent Chase Kamisky so that he doesn't get in trouble for letting an underage girl drive his car.
After recording Bob and Tina's story of what happened, Chase invites Bob to his barbecue to cook on the grill. Bob leaves Tina alone with it and the grill catches on fire and burns down Chase's house.
When Tina becomes overrun in guilt about lying, they come clean to Chase who reveals that he knew they were lying and secretly used them to burn down his house which he had insured for twice as much as it was worth.
Chase begins to blackmail Bob with the information about his car insurance fraud to get him to help him commit multiple other insurance frauds such as flooding Bob's basement.
They are finally able to resolve the situation when Tina uses Gene's keyboard to record Chase planning his next scheme.
