Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Drew (Drew Carey) is one of several Winfred-Louder employees competing for 500 valuable stock shares, which will be awared to whomever delivers the best toast to the late Mr. Louder at his birthday celebration. Alas, not only is Drew incapable of saying anything nice about the much-despised Louder, but he also has to deal with his girlfriend Nicki (Kate Walsh), who has become morosely self-conscious about her recent incredible weight gain. Meanwhile, Mimi (Kathy Kinney) tries to cover up her complicity in Mr. Wick's sexual-harrassment hoax by hiring a slimy lawyer (superbly played Steve Buscemi) and going through with her lawsuit against the store.
