[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Patch Boomhauer comes into town, annoying everyone in the neighborhood. Boomhauer is glad to see his brother, until he realizes that the reason he is in town is to get married, to Boomhauer's ex-girlfriend, Katherine.

Patch is busy making arrangements for the wedding, and Boomhauer is sulking, as he still loves Katherine. Hank agrees to be the best man, and starts to make plans for the bachelor party. Peggy is in charge of setting up a bachelorette party for the bride.

Hank prepares a crazy bachelor party, where they drink beer, listen to music, and play cards, while pranking the groom with a ball & chain. Hank even got clearance from the fire department to go above the designated noise level for one night of fun. Meanwhile, Peggy gathers the ladies for a night of hot body video watching.

Patch shows up at the dull bachelor party, and has secretly ordered up some 'special' entertainment in the form of a stripper. Hank thinks that a karaoke party is going to be a surprise, and can't wait. Just when the guys are getting into their pranks, and card game, a knock is heard at the door. Patch jumps up, and runs for it, and reveals a stripper. Hank is livid, and so are the wives, when they pull up at the same time as the stripper. The blame is placed on Boomhauer, and Hank turns his back on their friendship, letting him know that he expects this sort of behavior from Bill, not from Boomhauer. Patch lets everyone think that it was his brother, not him, who ordered up the entertainment.

Hank gives Booomhauer the cold shoulder for a few days, but then realizes that he never even asked him if he had done it, he just assumed. Hank confides in Dale, and they agree that he should go ask Boomhauer straight out, if he did it. He said 'no'. Hank accepts his answer, and they make up.

Hank hosts the rehearsal dinner, where it is revealed that Katherine can't marry Patch, knowing that Boonhauer still loves her so much that he was willing to call in a stripper to ruin things. After that announcement, Patch jumps in, and confesses that it wasn't Boomhauer, it was him. That doesn't change her mind, and she sets off. The wedding is off, and all is good in the neighborhood once more.
