156 January 22, 1980 "Hot Stuff" A fire breaks out in the kitchen of Arnold's Drive-In after closing time. Potsie, Ralph and Fonzie are in the men's restroom and unaware of the danger to their lives until Potsie tries to go to the counter to get some drinks. After Fonzie's failed attempt to bust through a barred-up window in the restroom renders him unconscious, Potsie and Ralph scream for help. Fortunately, Richie and Lori Beth are nearby and rescue their friends in the nick of time. After the fire is extinguished, the gang sifts through the ruins, and Al mentions that his insurance agent had accused him of setting the fire (since business at the restaurant has been waning as of late, and an investigation revealed that an apron had been placed on the grill, which had been turned on). Chachi then admits that he forgot to turn off the grill as he had been told to. Al is forgiving but Fonzie snaps, telling Chachi that he is irresponsible. Later, Al — who is finally able to collect on the insurance money — says he is retiring from the business, since he has no money to rebuild. During a farewell party, Fonzie presents Al with a stack of money and suggests that the two rebuild the restaurant and operate it as partners.
