'Til Death Episode 1.09 The Toaster

Joy empties a grocery bag and reads an environmental tip on the back that says they should unplug unused appliances. She unplugs the toaster. Eddie then plugs it back in, refusing to do this dance every time he wants toast. Joy argues that the grocery bag is right, but Eddie is determined to prove her wrong.

At school, Eddie asks Jeff if he has seen Tom Franklin, the science teacher. He wants Tom to support Eddie's side of the toaster fight. Eddie tells Jeff that he loves the feeling he gets when he crushes Joy. Jeff invites Eddie and Joy to a surprise party for Steph and Eddie rants about why surprise parties are a bad idea. Tom enters the teacher's lounge and Eddie introduces himself. Tom seems lonely and starts rambling about his life. Eddie interrupts asks Tom about the toaster. Tom says Eddie is right, and Eddie leaves to call his wife. Eddie invites Tom to dinner.

At dinner, Joy watches Tom suspiciously. Joy knows Eddie is up to something. Eddie tells Joy that Tom is a science teacher. Eddie asks Tom about the toaster again so he can enjoy Joy's reaction. Tom repeats his answer, and Joy asks Eddie to join her in the kitchen. Joy is upset that Eddie went through all that effort to be right. He plugs the toaster back in. Tom walks in and sees the toaster. He says because it's a newer model that it would use electricity even when it's off because it's using a little power to keep the microchips going. Joy dances and celebrates that Eddie is still wrong.

In class the next day, Eddie asks his students what prompted America to get involved in the First World War. When one of the students answers incorrectly, Eddie rubs the correct answer in the student's face. After the bell, Jeff walks in to remind Eddie about Steph's party. Jeff sees that Eddie is frustrated about Joy being right and tells Eddie to just let it go. Eddie refuses to back down.

Eddie and Joy are driving to the party. Joy tells Eddie to take the next right. But Eddie thinks the Mexican restaurant is to the left on Spruce street. Eddie turns left.

When Joy and Eddie walk into the restaurant, Joy is furious because they're late. Eddie is holding a present and Jeff and Steph walk in behind them. Eddie blows the surprise to Steph and Jeff is mad. Joy and Eddie fight about who was right, and Jeff steps in. He tells them their behavior ruined Steph's party and it's affecting his life and it needs to stop. Jeff asks Eddie and Joy to leave.When they get home, they discuss what has been going on between them and they think they have a problem. Eddie pulls out their old toaster that can be plugged in and not use electricity. He thinks this way, they can both be right. Joy argues that they should instead just go look up the answer and be smarter after their findings. The two make up. However, Joy smells smoke. Eddie's old toaster is on fire. Eddie fills a cup with water and goes to throw it on the fire. Joy tells Eddie that he can't throw water into a live appliance. The two continue to fight about how to douse the fire, and eventually, the fire dies by itself.
