The episode Girls Just Want to Have Fun (1) starts off with Al's son Bud and his best friend coming up with a plan to meet girls. The boys decide to throw a party and invite everyone who is "someone" in their high school class. As the boys finalize their plans, Al is finishing up another long day of work at the shoe store where he is seemingly the only salesman who doesn't enjoy his job. Meanwhile, Peggy is at a salon with her friends discussing the party and how she will not let Al go because she doesn't trust him around other women.

The day of the party arrives, and the Bundy household is chaotic as Bud and his friend are desperately trying to get everything ready before their guests arrive. At the same time, Peggy is making a cake for the party and warning Al not to even think about going. Al, however, is determined to attend the party and decides he will sneak out when Peggy falls asleep. As Peggy and Al bicker over the party, Kelly manages to sneak out with only one objective, to seduce the most popular boy in school, who is also attending the party.

As the guests start arriving, everything seems to be going great, and the party is in full swing. It's clear that the boys have done a great job with the decorations, and everyone is having a good time. However, things take a turn for the worse when Peggy falls asleep after eating some of her cake and Al takes this opportunity to sneak out to the party. Upon arriving at the party, Al quickly devours all the food on the table and begins spilling beer all over the clean carpets. His presence at the party is short-lived, however, as Peggy quickly wakes up to find him missing and proceeds to track him down.

As the party goes on, Bud and his friend are both caught by their parents for throwing an unauthorized party. Peggy eventually finds Al at the party, and the two get into a massive fight, leading to a big reveal about Peggy's past. The episode ends with the revelation as the characters slowly peel back each layer of the story.
