Story
In a softball fixture pitting the Drunken Clam against Goldman's Pharmacy, Jerome hits a ball into Horace's face and kills him. After the funeral the men find the bar has been foreclosed, drink at Peter's house until Lois objects, then break back in for the night. A demolition crew arrives the next morning and Peter claims to own the building, until Jerome turns up and reveals that he has bought the Clam with his sporting earnings to keep it open in Horace's memory. Meanwhile Meg walks in on an embalming during the funeral and is offered work at the funeral home. Chris takes the body of Mr Dugan to get into films rated R, loses it in a swimming pool, and has to stand in for Dugan at the service, ending up with the dead man's face.
