I have a theory that, back in the day, when a show was on its last legs they would bring on the dwarfs; this episode does just that, but they're saved for the very end.
It's Jefferson's 40th birthday and he's worried that he is losing his good looks and that Marcy will trade him in for a younger model. Peggy, who has been forbidden from spending any more of Al's money, suggests that Jefferson spends all of Marcy's money so that she will no longer have 'sugar mama' appeal. When Marcy finds out what her husband has done, she makes him get a job so that he can pay the money back.
At the shoe store, Bud is making a commercial for Gary and needs someone to play the shoe salesman; Al gets the part, but his acting sucks. Bud fires his father and casts Griff instead, but Al sabotages the shoot.
This is an improvement over the last episode, with some great lines of dialogue:
Kelly: "Gee, old man D'Arcy's getting pretty cranky, huh?"
Bud, when Griff tells him that he played Dorothy in a high school production of The Wizard of Oz: "All male school?" Griff: "No."
Marcy, to a fat woman at the aerobics studio: "Maybe if you gave up your spot they'd all fit."
And let's not forget about those little people who show up during the end credits: they buy one of Al and Griff's shoe box houses, the answer to the homeless dwarf problem.
