Ep 16. Heels on Wheels

In this episode of Married...with Children titled "Heels on Wheels," the dysfunctional Bundy family finds themselves caught up in another hilarious misadventure that takes them into the glamorous world of professional wrestling. As always, chaos and mayhem follow them wherever they go.

The episode kicks off with Peggy Bundy, the lazy and outrageously shopping-loving wife of Al Bundy, receiving a phone call from a woman named Bonnie, who claims to be her long-lost cousin. Excited by the prospect of reconnecting with her family, Peggy agrees to meet Bonnie, who turns out to be a professional female wrestler known as Lady Godiva. Bonnie invites Peggy and the rest of the Bundy clan to attend her wrestling match later that evening.

Meanwhile, Al Bundy, Peggy's disgruntled and underachieving husband, is less than thrilled about the prospect of spending his evening watching women's wrestling. However, when he discovers that the match is taking place at the local arena, Al realizes that it's the same night as a basketball game he's been dying to attend. Determined not to miss out on his favorite sport, Al comes up with a scheme to attend both events simultaneously.

As the Bundy family arrives at the wrestling match, they quickly realize that Lady Godiva's opponent is none other than "The Masked Mauler," a fearsome wrestler with a reputation for his ruthless tactics. Chaos ensues when Al, dressed in his usual fashion disaster of a suit, attempts to switch between watching the game on a small TV he sneaks into the arena and watching the wrestling match. His antics draw the attention of the rowdy crowd, and soon a tyrannical security guard is hot on his trail.

Meanwhile, Peggy is living her dream of reconnecting with her family, albeit in a rather unexpected way. As Lady Godiva climbs onto the ropes and prepares to execute a gravity-defying move, Peggy jumps up in excitement, accidentally smacking another spectator with her oversized purse. Unbeknownst to Peggy, this spectator is none other than Lady Godiva's manager, who mistakes Peggy's enthusiastic purse-swinging as a deliberate attack. This opens up a whole new world of opportunity for the Bundy matriarch to become a part of the wrestling world.

Back at the Bundy residence, Al's children, Bud and Kelly, face their own set of challenges. Bud, the perpetual loser in love, is trying to impress a girl by pretending to be a professional wrestler. He puts on a ridiculous costume and attempts to showcase his wrestling skills in the backyard, much to the amusement of his neighbors. Meanwhile, Kelly, the ditzy and boy-crazy daughter, decides to take up wrestling as a career path after witnessing her cousin Bonnie's performance.

As the episode progresses, the Bundy family's lives become further entangled with the world of wrestling. Al, still on the run from the security guard, finds himself accidentally stepping into the ring. In an unexpected turn of events, Al manages to defeat "The Masked Mauler" with an unlikely move, which captivates the audience but, more importantly, earns him the respect of the wrestlers. This unexpected victory propels Al into the spotlight, and he quickly becomes a sought-after wrestling sensation.

"Heels on Wheels" is a wild ride filled with laugh-out-loud moments, absurd plot twists, and the signature dark humor that defines Married...with Children. As the Bundy family's lives collide with the world of professional wrestling, the episode explores themes of family, identity, and the pursuit of dreams.
