synopsis
Mel (Vic Tayback) couldn't be happier to have his favorite waitress Belle (Diane Ladd) working for him again. Alice (Linda Lavin) and Vera (Beth Howland) aren't quite so happy: In fact, they're getting REALLY ticked off by Belle's irritatingly "helpful" suggestions as to how they can improve their service. The inevitable showdown occurs just before the final commercial, with a huge cake brought into play as a weapon!
