In Mystery Diners season 3 episode 5 titled "All In the Family," Charles Stiles and his team head to Mike's Pizza in Las Vegas, owned by the Gatsby family. The Gatsbys have been running the restaurant for over 25 years and are concerned about their son, who has recently taken over, making questionable decisions that are hurting their business.

Charles assigns Mystery Diner Shannan to go undercover as a waitress to investigate the restaurant's operations. While on the job, Shannan witnesses the new manager, Danny, giving away free desserts and drinks to his friends and not charging them for their meals. In addition, the kitchen staff is seen drinking on the job and not following proper food handling procedures. Customers who have ordered certain dishes are being served smaller portions than advertised on the menu, while other dishes they didn't order are being added to their bills.

Shannan reports her findings to Charles, who then sends in Mystery Diner Grant to go undercover as a customer. Grant orders one of the dishes that was previously reported to be shorter in portion size and is immediately suspicious when he receives a larger portion. He takes a photo of the dish and sends it back to Charles, who then sends Shannan back into the restaurant to investigate.

Shannan discovers that the kitchen staff has been instructed to serve larger portions to customers who complain about the smaller portions, so they don't leave bad reviews online. She also catches Danny drinking on the job and not being proactive in dealing with customer complaints. Shannan confronts him about these issues, but Danny denies any wrongdoing.

At the end of the episode, Charles and the Gatsbys review the undercover footage and confront Danny about his actions. The Gatsbys are shocked to learn that their son has been giving away free food and drinks to his friends and that their family business has been suffering because of his poor decisions. Danny apologizes and vows to change his ways, and Charles advises the Gatsbys to take a more active role in managing their restaurant to prevent similar issues from arising again in the future.
