Caped Cod has taken the reigns.

We're here with owners Cindy and Steve Williams. Guys,

what do you have to say? -We had faith in our kitchen and

they moved fast, so as long as

the. -Oh the food was great! The food was great. I mean, it

was golden brown perfection. I

am just so proud of all these

boys. -I can't imagine us losing this

thing. Not with how much it means to

Cindy and Steve. The food

wasn't perfect, but we were so efficient out there,

you know? You saw us. It's just such a shame that

chef Marcel has such a hard

time obeying Cindy and Steve. But sooner or later he'll find

out, you just have to do

whatever they ask you. Whatever they ask you. -When I see the Buzz coming

through the window, I was like

yes the ! -I know, you love him. -You were fantastic out there

Linds. -Oh! -Lindsay. -I need to talk to you for a

second. -Yeah, sure. You know that green card thing

you should really look into,

because it's super illegal. Listen I know they're

announcing the scores in a few minutes, but I just need

to tell you something. Oh no, no, no. Please stop

right there. I should say

something to you first. I think you did a great job.

I'd love to have you stay in my

country. -Or in your country, yeah?

-Well, I am a citizen.

-I live here three summers. -Okay, nine months, that's

not... -I know this country like

back of hand. -Oh. I'm so sorry about what I did

and how I told you. -Really?

-Yeah, of course. I mean it

wasn't fair with the way that you feel

about me. And you know, honestly Mitch is totally creeping me

out, so you're totally rescuing

me right now. -He is a total creep.

-Yeah, he does kind of have

that effect. I just need you to know how I

feel about you, no matter what. Yeah, Seth of course I know,

you're like my best friend or like an

uncle, you know? You're like

crazy Uncle Seth with the bears. Don't be so stressed, it's okay. You're so silly. Oh, hold on a

second. Hey Jake! You know the most dangerous

animal in the jungle is a

leopard. Because it comes... you're not

expecting it. So. It's the one that you don't

expect, but it's the one that

wins. -Hey, Mitch?

-Yeah. Doesn't get easier buddy. One

night. -One night.

-One night more than you. -So you have never really

watched Mork and Mindy. -No. So how do you know you don't

like it? Okay, honestly, Robin Williams

is a little hairy, and it kind

of creeps me out. -No offense, Bootstraps.

-Your closed mindedness amazes

me. An alien forms an unbreakable

friendship with a twenty-one

year old girl. Zaniness ensues. I mean that is

good television! The Judge can be a bit

overwhelming. But I thought the food was

actually amazing and the whole spectical was

just a delight. It was nice to see a small town

community rally around the food

like that. -Will you be back next year?

-No, absolutely not. The 43rd annual Golden Scallop

Championship is now closed. And I am full, I mean

ridiculously full. After difficult deliberation

and precise calculation of the fan ballot, we have a

champion. In third place, with a DQ,

comes the Happy Hooker. It has to be noted, they fought valiantly and everyone got fed.

And in first place we had one of the closest races

in Golden Scallop history. With an amazing sixty-eight

points out of seventy for taste. And

pulling it out by just half a point. The Fishmonger wins! What a day. What a championship! Oh, uh, that was pretty fun but now I go to grocery store

to work all night. So, see you guys later. Bye,

bye. Okay, here it comes. There we go, Judge. Well it's been tough. I've had

to take a semester off from

school just to take care of him. His

doctor says that his cholesterol is higher than any patient he's

ever had. Which is concerning. Lindsay put a restraining order

on me. So, there's that. I'm not a criminal. Well at first we were devastated -I fired everyone, I even tried

to fire Steve. -She did, for

realz. But then a couple months after

the championship we received

the most unbelievable news. We have our little own scallop

in the oven. The batter stuck! We're going to name him

Cornelius after or favorite

manager and father. -Godfather.

-He's going to be the best

godfather ever. Look at this guy, you kinding

me? Come here. The Caped Cod is going to have

a little baby brother, but

don't worry we're going to be

back on top. And I think that we're ready

for another shot at the

championship. We're going to do this and this

little guy's going to be on

board the whole time. And I bet it'll look just like

you, Steve. Bald, you know, no

hair. That's how babies look, Corey.

This guy. This guy! Thanks to an angel investor,

who wishes to remain nameless,

not faceless. Our investor got me thinking

about the bigger picture. Which

is why just celebrities? SO now when you have a loved

one, like if you had a kid or a

wife just send a picture and a brief

description and let the

berieved be bear-reived.

-We're selling...

-Ah, take the ball. We're selling a whole ton of

bears, which is great. I've been drawing more pictures

than ever, and Seth has been

able to make a ton of them. That's right, Wyatt. We're

doing amazing. We keep selling

bears at this rate I'm going to be able to buy a

second home, or pay off

Lindsay's college debt I don't know, something crazy,

who knows. -Stop, Wyatt. Stop it.

-I'm sorry. Don't go there. We're just

playing, we're just coming up

with ideas man. After we saw how good Jake was

in the kitchen we knew we had

to have him here. Yup, he's just like a young

Buzz, only with fruity singing.

Nobodies perfect. It's really great to be part of

a reputable restaurant again,

and I really feel like I'm starting to get the Martin

name back out there in the

community and restore it to

glory. -I'm as happy as ever.

-Hold that basket straight

Lindsay! -Goddammit hold that basket

straight! -I'm holding it as

straight as I can! -Don't talk

back. Since the championship, my dad

has been much more hands on. -The Buzz is back.

-Yeah, I can't believe I ever

quit yelling at you guys. -You know it's amazing how much

better people do when you give

them. -You're gonna give us the

business? Well, it's a bit much

sometimes, but it's definitely

better than before. Lindsay, quit being such a

wuss. You're gonna win that

scallop this year! Hit it son!

-The Golden Scallop will be

hooked by the happiest of cooks,

that's us, at the Happy Hooker. with our griddles and wits,

we're gonna turn some tricks.

Buzz in! to the Happy Hooker. We'll win

at the Happy Hooker. -I mean I think it's better.

-We'll win! at the Happy Hooker. We'll win

at the Happy Hooker. We'll win at the Happy Hooker. There has been speculation

whether I will be ready for the championship this summer. So, to those people who doubt that I will be at the judges

table, at the competition this

year. I can only offer this. Hahahaha Oh boy!! Does it bother me that my wife,

so he won't die, one of our
