Let's go with the last option.

| But apparently only returning for one episode, and that's it for the season. Both TV Guide and my satellite's listings are billing the episode as the "season finale." I see "Cafe Rama" listed in the guide for the 22nd, but listings show two hours of Bones on the 22nd. |
As of Sunday, "Casa Roma" was supposed to be the season finale and air next Thursday. It was changed Monday night, at 8:37pm, when FOX decided to move the new Bones episodes to next week, airing a double episode, because of the President Bush's sudden request for 15 minutes of airtime on all major networks for his farewell address to the nation. Therefore, FOX decided to not air "Casa Roma" at all. It will probably air sometime next season.

Seriously. I could be a restaurant consultant myself now after watching two seasons of this.
Make sure restaurant is noticable from the outside. Any failing restaurant has bad food. Make sure kitchen is clean. Redo menu, offering fewer, more contemporary choices but with local products when possible and always fresh. Downsize portions, raise prices. If there is no theme to the restaurant, walk around town and find out either what type of restaurant is missing or what the locals like and arrange menu appropriately. Redo restaurant interior so that it's bright, coordinated and "modern". This takes one night. Make sure kitchen staff talks to each other and to wait staff. Make sure restaurant has manager able to expedite food. Fire any deadweight managers. Promote restaurant by interacting with community, often by creating an annual event and inviting the mayor and a food critic. That's all you need - no traditional advertising. And for some reason, avoid large signs and coupons. Achieve all this via lots of screaming. Now, after one week step back and watch the money roll in! Did I miss anything? 
Oh, and restaurants never have problems because of poor business planning, vendor pricing, tax planning, cutthroat competition, poor location, forecasting, cash flow or undercapitalization.

| Actually, cutthroat competition was covered as an issue in at least one of the episodes. After analyzing the competition in the area, Ramsay determined that the community was health-conscious, but there was a dearth of restaurants offering healthy food, so he focused on that. |
If this was a good ecomony cutthroat comp. would be the main problem, but ever since the ecomonic. time bomb went off ,cutthroat comp. was the least of thier problems.And besides alot of these nightmares had anywhere on avarage between 250,000 and a millon dollars of debt so that says something.
