Description[]

When Al and Peg are in the bedroom, Bud and Kelly come in and ask them to turn on the television. They inform their parents that the millionaire known as Coco is on television and how she was the most famous graduates of Polk High School, (though to Al, she is actually the second most famous graduate behind him). Al eventually recognizes Coco as Helen Granowinner, who was a year behind Al and Peg at Polk High school, though Peg didn't remember her; Al claims that Coco, or Helen "Co-piloted the Starship Bundy a couple of seasons", but the rest of the family laugh at the claim! Bud pokes fun at his claim, saying: "C'mon Dad, You've never had a beautiful woman in your life", which alienates and insults Peg, too! Kelly also chimes and asks what kind of woman would want to be with Al, causing Peg to stare her down and then order the kids out of the room.

Sometime later, Coco drops by Gary's Shoes, and finds Al (after he was hiding due to stealing food) rather giddy and nervous to be around the now famous woman from his high school days. She claims that no one had ever before or since had made love to her the way that he did, and still has the hots for him, although she finds him to be a pig, which she strangely likes in a man! She then puts her arms around him and insists that he travel the world with her and make love to her the way that only he can. Although he has to break to her that he is unfortunately married, he asks if she would at least be willing to stop by the Bundy residence and prove that they knew each other in high school. Al allows her to drop by the Bundy house, but only if she brings a pepperoni pizza with her!

Needless to say, the kids, despite the family mocking Al once again for believing a world famous millionaire would still want him, Kelly and Bud, are amazed when Al's claim is proven true at Coco's presence, as well as astonished that such a hot lady could be interested in someone like him! When Coco offers Peg $500,000 to buy him from her, at first Peg is happy to sell Al, but later she starts to have second thoughts.

When Coco shows up a second time, while Peg is away with Bud and Kelly checking out the new lakeshore condominium that was part of the deal, Al, who also has some reservations about the deal, is ready to dive in head first at seeing the lovely Coco in a nightie! But, when Peg returns to pick up a few more things, and she then catches Coco, or Helen, in bed with Al, she changes her mind, and gives Coco back her money, and tells her "This is my bed, and my man...here's your check, and get out!"

A rejected Coco nonchalantly says "It's times like this that I'm glad there's a Ben and Jerry's!" When Peg asks, "You're gonna buy ice cream?" Coco responds, "No, I'm going to buy Ben and Jerry!"
