Episode Summary

When Texas is out of Hank's favorite Alamo Beer, he is eager to find out why. When his questions go unanswered, Peggy gains employment at the company to find out. Peggy doesn't want to divulge the reason because of a clause that she has signed--a vow of secrecy. Hank turns on Peggy for her company loyalty, and Peggy turns on Alamo, for their customer disloyalty.moreless

    Hank gets Peggy to call the Alamo beer company to talk to them about why there is no beer in Arlen anymore. Peggy ends up getting a job at Alamo Beer, where she learns that they are trying to increase business in Mexico. However, the beer makes all the Mexicans sick with diarrhea and vomiting. Hank and the guys also get sick because Hank got Peggy to tell him where the beer is, and they go to Mexico. Now Peggy is torn between her husband and her job.

    Good episode. It had some funny parts and it was a good plot. Surprised Peggy didn't stand by her husband throughout the whole episode, but the resolution itself was pretty good, so overall my final grade is A+, great episode from a great seasonmoreless

    I thought that Peggy would for sure put aside her loyalty and side with Hank. She did, although it took quite some time. Hank had to find out how stupid he was in getting sick after Peggy warned him not to do it. She told him not to tell anyone, but of course being the dumb beer drinking redneck that is Hank, he did the opposite and stupid thing. I thought this was a funny episode and I could barely keep myself contained with frustration after watching the whole thing play out. Good writing and comedy with a nice plot. Thank you.moreless

  • Megan Mullally's debut on King Of The Hill

    This episode of King of the Hill (later refered to as KOTH) is my favourite. I'm not sure whether it's because its a good episode (which it is) or whether its because it stars Megan Mullally as the voice of Theresa. KOTH is a great show and happens to be one of my favourites, but this episode is a favourite of mine because Megan Mullally (Will & Grace's Karen Walker) stars and she is my all time favourite actress. When I first heard Theresa speak I was like "Oh my God, Megan Mullally!". However, the episode is a great episode in itself and doesn't need to be credited on it's guest star.moreless

    • In the Alamo commercial announcing the beer recall, Konrad Meinhoffer IV pours himself a glass of Alamo beer and takes a drink. In reality, such a commercial would never air in the United States because it is illegal to depict individuals drinking alcohol in television commercials (and was already illegal at the time that this episode aired).

    • Alamo Customer Service Hotline: Thank you for calling Alamo Beer. For English, press 1. Para continuar en Espanol, opprime al numero dos. Peggy: Oh! I've never been indignant in Spanish before (presses two). Edit
    • Peggy: I'm sorry, Hank. Alamo trusts me not to tell you their secrets. Just as you trust me not to tell them about your narrow urethra. And believe me, I had the perfect opportunity. Edit
    • Dale: I'll tell you what's going on with our beer. They've sold it to the Japanese, who will change the formula and repackage it in square bottles that will only fit cupholders in Japanese cars. Edit
