'Bob's Burgers' Season 3, Episode 15: 'O.T.: The Outside Toilet' Recap

‘Bob’s Burgers’, season 3, episode 15, ‘O.T.: The Outside Toilet’

A delivery van, whilst traveling at night, makes a sharp turn and a crate falls from the back of it. It bounces down a hill and lands, emitting an eerie blue glow.

In the Belcher apartment, Gene reveals that he is being placed in charge of a flour sack baby. Linda enjoys the thought of being a sexy grandma.

Bob dresses up for going to court, to attest a parking ticket. They notice the suit is stain-free, and they ask where he got it; from the mortician.

In his class, Gene is given his flour sack baby and drops it on the floor, spilling it everywhere. He asks for another one, and proceeds to drop that one as well. The teacher gives him an ‘F’, and he panics, grabbing someone else’s flour sack baby and tries to make a run for it… only to trip and spill the stolen baby everywhere.

In court, Bob tries to blame a small meter-sized, loitering child from preventing his view of the parking meter. The judge, seeing his nice suit, dismisses the charges.

Outside the court, a small child runs up to Bob, complimenting his nice clothes, asking him to marry his mother. The mother shows up and tells him not to bother the nice gentleman. Bob is surprised.

On their way home, Gene mopes to Tina and Louise about the loss of his flour sack children. He tells them he is going to take the long way home.

On the long way home, he runs into a magical talking toilet in the forest. The toilet requests that Gene sit on it, and Gene begins to befriend it. After telling jokes and bonding all day, the toilet requests a water refill, which Gene obliges. He is joyful at the chance to take care of the toilet. He realizes it’s so late, and heads home.

On his way home, a man in the woods overhears Gene whistling the tune that the toilet plays, and asks him where he heard it, and if he’d seen a toilet. He is immediately suspicious of the strange man, and runs. As he runs, his nametag gets stuck to a branch, and the man finds it, vowing to hunt him down.

In the restaurant, Bob tells Linda that the suit is making people like him more. As they talk, a group of well-dressed women walk in asking where a different restaurant is, but as they see him in his suit, they decide to eat there.

In the woods the next morning, Gene takes Louise and Tina to see the toilet. They immediately fall in love, and spend hours talking to it. The toilet alerts them that it is running low on water and power. Gene, hoping to save it, vows to take it home to plug it in. Once he realizes it’s too heavy, they decide to get extension cords instead.

Back in the restaurant, Linda asks where the kids have been, and the strange man from the woods is there waiting for Gene. He tells him that the toilet is worth $14,000 and he will find it. Bob tells him that he’ll keep an eye out for the toilet, and that they’re closing early.

The man, Max Flow, waits outside.

Bob and Linda go out for a fancy dinner, and the kids come up with a plan to save the toilet. They invite their friends over and dress one of them up as Gene, and distract Max Flow as Gene goes to save his toilet.

In the fancy restaurant, Linda is told there’s an hour wait, but Bob flashes his fancy suit and lands them a table.

The kids lead Max Flow onto a ferry and trap him there as Gene runs to his toilet.

Gene gets to the toilet, who informs him there’s only 33 minutes left on its battery life. Gene weeps softly, and promises help.

In the fancy restaurant, strangers keep buying Bob drinks, but not Linda.

11 minutes remain on the toilet when the kids return with more help. They load the toilet onto a wagon and tie it to their bikes and pedal towards town.

Max Flush apparently dove off the ferry and has now pulled himself onto the docks.

Linda and Bob catch a taxi, both too drunk to drive home.

The kids pedal as fast as they can, but Max Flush sees them, and tries to pursue them. They go off road, and end up going down a path where the bridge is out. The toilet is flung off the bridge and lands in the road right in front of the taxi carrying Bob and Linda.

They get out and see the toilet, and Gene pleads with them, urging them to get it some power and water. The taxi driver offers to load it into his trunk.

They drive towards town and spot a coffee shop. They bring it in and hope to borrow an outlet when Max Flush shows up. The toilet’s battery dies and Gene sits on it in protest. The police arrive and recognize the toilet as one that was reported stolen and tackle Max Flush to the ground.

Back at the Belcher residence, Bob gives Gene a motivational speech about his plain old toilet. Linda calls them and says the toilet is on the news. They watch and learn the toilet is heading for its new home on an island. Gene demands to see it before it’s gone.

Gene is given one minute to say his goodbye to the toilet before it’s loaded onto the ferry. As he does, the security guard recognizes Bob’s suit as one that was tailored for his dad. He demands it back.

The family say goodbye to the toilet as the ferry floats away, Bob now suitless.
