Ep 1. Do Rico

In the season 3 premiere of The King of Queens, titled "Do Rico," Doug (Kevin James) and Carrie (Leah Remini) are settling back into their routines after returning from their vacation in the Poconos. However, things get complicated when Doug's annoying cousin, Danny (Gary Valentine), unexpectedly shows up and asks to stay with them for a while.

Despite Carrie's initial objections, Doug agrees to let Danny stay because he feels bad for him and wants to help him out. However, it quickly becomes apparent that having Danny around is going to be more challenging than Doug anticipated. Danny is loud, obnoxious, and lazy, making life difficult for everyone in the household - especially Carrie, who is already stressed from dealing with her difficult boss at work.

As the days go by, tensions continue to rise between Danny and the rest of the family. Carrie becomes increasingly frustrated with Danny's behavior and Doug is torn between his loyalty to his cousin and his desire to keep the peace at home. Meanwhile, Arthur (Jerry Stiller) is up to his usual antics as he tries to scam his way into getting free food at a senior center.

Throughout the episode, Doug and Carrie navigate the challenges of living with Danny and try to figure out a way to make it work without sacrificing their sanity. Meanwhile, their relationship is put to the test as they struggle to find a balance between their responsibilities at home and at work.

The episode is filled with plenty of laughs as Doug and Carrie deal with the chaos of having Danny under their roof. The King of Queens' signature mix of physical comedy and witty banter is on full display, with Kevin James and Leah Remini delivering their usual fantastic performances.

Ultimately, "Do Rico" is a fun and lighthearted way to kick off the third season of The King of Queens. Fans of the show will love seeing their favorite characters back in action and will enjoy the comedic hijinks that ensue when Danny comes to visit.
