Grave Danger

**Grave Danger** is the twelfth episode of season four of *The Cleveland Show*. It is the ninetieth episode, overall.

## Synopsis

Cleveland comes to terms with his own mortality, so The Guys work at a graveyard. Meanwhile, Rallo is left all alone, during his weekend with Robert in East Stoolbend.

## Plot

Rallo convinces Cleveland that his time of dying is near. While seeking comfort from the guys, Holt shows that he bought The Guys and their families adjoining plots so they could all be together. The Guys decide not to let the land wait for their passing and make it a hang out. While enjoying the view, Cleveland and his friends are paid to be mourners at a funeral. The Guys soon expand their hang out to attending other funerals for free. Donna confronts Cleveland about his new hobby and believes it is creepy. She warns him that she should fear death, but he ignores her. The next time The Guys go to the cemetery, they attend the funeral of a Satanist, late at night. Their involvement with the funeral, leads to them joining a suicide cult. Holt finds a Necronomicon and says that he found a resurrection spell, that they'll use on themselves, to free them from the suicide cult. Holt reads the resurrection spell out loud, which causes a rising of the dead, unleashing a zombie armada onto themselves. The Satanists get attacked by the zombies, while The Guys escape, but the zombies get in their way and they have to slay the zombies on their way out. Cleveland uses a sword to kill the zombies, Tim uses his bear powers, Lester shoots them with his rifle, Holt punches them all up, Dr. Fist uses medicine bottles to throw at them. Cleveland eventually gets a hold of the Necronomicon and finds a spell to put all the zombies back to death. Once they do, The Guys head for the exit, leaving the angry Satanists behind. After the traumatic experience, Cleveland learns that he should have to stop toying with death and go back to fearing and avoiding it, like before. Later, Cleveland tells Donna that he has given up his latest hobby but surprises her with a romantic dinner at their plot over a casket. Cleveland convinces her that he wants her to look at the spot as a reminder of the good times with him.

Meanwhile, after insisting that he is a man, Rallo heads to East Stoolbend to stay at Robert's apartment for the weekend. But when Robert abandons him for a trip to Baltimore relying on his insistence of being a man, Rallo soon becomes hungry when left an extra day and strikes out for the store, running into a bunch of the tough local kids. When Rallo tries to make friends, they convince him to rob a kid for his basketball, with both of them putting on a charade. After coming out of church, he runs into the kids who plant a stolen iPhone on him. As they are chased, Rallo breaks the iPhone and the kids chase him until he luckily runs into Robert who takes him home. While bragging to his friends about his tough routine with the kids, they show up at his door and blackmail him with pictures of his “crime spree.” Donna lets slip all of Rallo's expensive goods are upstairs and they plan on robbing him. Cleveland even offers his old treasured Garbage Pail Kid cards for show and tell and the bad kids get the idea to rob the entire show and tell. During the class, Rallo tries to convince them of the futility but they insist Rallo plays his part. Rallo sends the rest of the class off to play hide and seek while they are robbed. After the class breaks out in tears, Rallo reveals that not only did he help, he tricked the kids. But as they return for the goods, the entire class stands behind Rallo and insults the kids, resulting in Rallo to call a limit to insults and offers them some of the kid's belongings, including his big wheel. But as they leave with the donated goods, Rallo calls the police to report the theft, allowing them to get away from the class before getting in trouble and noting that they were dicks.
