- The bar's furnace is on the fritz, so Rebecca calls the furnace company to fix the problem. While she's got them on the phone, she has to crawl in through the vent in the wall - usually covered by a grate - to get some information. Carla uses this opportunity to put the grate back into place and leave Rebecca locked in the vent in the wall. Later, on Paul's advice, Rebecca tries to get back at Carla with a similar stunt, but... With other official bar business, Sam offers the bar employees a medical plan, for which each employee must take a blood test. Carla refuses as she's scared of needles. Frasier uses his psychiatric skills to get Carla over her fear. Meanwhile, Woody and Kelly are having their official engagement party, at which Woody will meet for the first time Grandmother Gaines, who has a reputation for being tough as nails. Equally as troublesome for Woody is that he cannot afford Kelly's engagement ring and is forced to work a second job at a graveyard to pay for it. The second job takes its toll on Woody as he's not getting any sleep and is further exhausted by selling his blood. This day is particularly bad as he further took his employee blood test at the bar, and had a tough night at the graveyard with the difficult burial of Mrs. Jane Vanderhoeven, whose casket kept on popping open. What's worse is that he forgot that the Gaines' moved the day of the party up one day to today. Woody's in no real shape to go, but he has no choice. At the party, Woody is still a little woozy, but he has to meet Grandmother Gaines. Woody is totally freaked when he meets Grandmother Gaines: he swears that she is the supposedly deceased Mrs. Jane Vanderhoeven, the woman he buried last night. Grandmother Gaines wants to have a private talk with Woody, for which he is obviously frightened. Woody's fright is taken to a new level by what Grandmother Gaines has to say to him.—Huggo
- With the furnace acting up Rebecca attempts to get it fixed. When she crawls into it to get information for the repair persons, Carla ends up re-attaching the grate to the furnace, trapping her inside.
Meanwhile, Woody has gotten Kelly an engagement ring. In order to pay for it, he takes a second job working a night shift at a graveyard...giving him no time to stop and rest. After a couple days of incessant work, Woody is reminded by Kelly about their engagement party, where he will meet her Grandmother.
Sam helps clean Woody up, but Woody panics when Kelly's Grandmother resembles a woman he buried recently. When she takes Woody aside for a private chat, she mentions Woody burying her, and he bolts for the door! She then admits that she was playing a joke, and had previously turned her hearing aid all the way up, hearing Woody talking to Sam about his second job.
Noting that while Woody is not the brightest bulb, he does receive her blessing to marry Kelly. Woody celebrates by curling up in a rug and falling asleep.
