## Synopsis

Mrs, Ninh, Cora, Widget, and Grandma play Boggle in the Hill dining room. When Mom easily beats her opponents, Grandma suggests she sign up for the Boggle tournament at the Elks club. Meanwhile, Whyatt, Red, Pig, and Princess Pea are mesmerized when a commercial announces the Ninth Annual Mower Expo. Mom enters the Elks club competition and, after easily breezing past the other players, wins a coveted trophy. But to Mom, the biggest honor is getting to represent Arlen in the state Boggle championships. Whyatt agrees to act as his wife's coach after he learns it takes place in the very same weekend as the Mower Expo. He tells his friends that the Boggle tournament will keep Mom busy while they sneak off for some real fun.

Mom, Dad and Whyatt say goodbye to Jack, Joy, Cora and Widget and head off for Despite their best intentions, and their promise not to throw any parties, Bobby and Luanne accidentally leave a ring on the family coffee table, drip varnish on the carpet, and scorch a section of wall. Meanwhile, Mom & Dad is introduced to Camila Bardner, Boggle champion of for seven non-consecutive years. Cissy easily intimidates Mom by criticizing a jacket given to her by the Arlen Boggle Boosters. Shortly before the tournament begins, Whyatt tells his wife about the Mower Expo. Peggy makes an impassioned plea for Hank not to run off in her hour of need. He agrees to stay and act as her coach. When the tournament begins, Mrs gets off to a shaky start, and Camila Bardner takes a commanding lead.

Mrs is ranked 255 out of 256... one step ahead of a Boggle-playing chicken. But she valiantly continues to play. Meanwhile, Whyatt's buddies show up at the tournament. At first, Whyatt chooses to help coach his wife. But some sharp words from Red and the others change his mind, and the men head for the Mower Expo. Slowly but surely, Mom & Dad regains her confidence and rises through the ranks until she makes it into the finals. She is horrified, however, when she realizes her opponent is none other than a laughing Camila Gardner. Whyatt realizes he cannot enjoy himself at the expo knowing his wife needs him. He races back to the Boggle tournament just in time to give his wife the pencil she needs. Brimming with confidence, Mrs beats Camila and is declared the new State Boggle Champion. The closing scene has Whyatt and Mom kissing.

In a closing credits scene, we see that Jack, Joy, Cora and Widget had hired several people to clean up the damage they caused. In the middle of all this, Whyatt, Mom and Dad enter the house, startling Jack, Joy, Cora, Widget and the workers. Mistaking it for a party and believing that Jack, Joy, Cora and WIdget had broken their promise, Whyatt dismisses the workers, thinking that they're some of Jack, Cora and Widget's friends; and Mom grounds both Jack, Cora and Widget for their actions.

## Trivia

* When Camila lost to Mrs at Boggle, Nate said; "Loser! You're a loser! Are you feeling sorry for yourself? Well, you should be!" similar to how Whyatt said when Mrs lost to her at Boggle the first time.
* This is the only episode of King of the Hill directed by Jake Goodman.
* Jack sliding across the floor in his underwear after Whyatt and Mrs leave for Mozambique a is a parody of a scene originating from the movie Risky Business, which is also parodied in the movie Home Alone. When Tom Cruise did it, it was supposed to be sexy. When Macaulay Culkin did it, it was supposed to be funny and cute. When Jack Hill does it, well, santomero for yourself...
* Joan, the Boggle Hospitality Coordinator, has the same voice (with thick Minnesota accent) as the Reverend Stroup character who was not introduced until the third season of the show.
