Hugo and Ron arrives, forcing Bob to hang the Lobsterfest poster on his window but Bob refuses. Hugo is declared the Grand Marshall of the Lobsterfest and Ron hangs the poster and they leave.
During class, Mr. Frond alarms Louise's class that a tropical storm which was going to hit town has now directing to town and upgraded to a hurricane. Due to the hurricane, Lobsterfest has been canceled, making Bob very happy about it and he decides to open Bob's Burgers for customers who were planning on going to Lobsterfest. Linda is worried about the restaurant open if a hurricane will destroy the business however, more customers are coming in from the hurricane including the Lobsterfest maidens and the health inspectors. Hugo meets one of the Lobsterfest maidens, Granchen. Bob encourages Hugo to get closer to Granchen by showing him his badge and thermometer. Meanwhile, the kids are at the basment for safety and Louise suggests to do looting in the empty town. Bob decides to give burgers to people for free and names his party, "Bobsterfest". The kids found a lobster and will eat it since Bob makes it forbidden for them to eat lobster.
Bob receives a huge hangover the next morning to discover the restaurant is a huge mess and is glad about the party now there will be more customers for the business. Gene expects to have his first lobster when he becomes a musician, Tina wants to have her first one when she (hopefully) marries Jimmy Pesto Jr. and Louise wants to eat her first one as a way to escape prison that made a decision not to eat it in a rush however, Louise accidentally drops the lobster into boiling water and agrees to eat it. bob finds out that Lobsterfest is open and Hugo and Granchen are officially in a relationship but they don't care about last night. Louise, Tina and Gene taste their first lobster but reveals that Gene is having an allergic reaction like Bob has. Bob goes on the Lobsterfest's stage unnoticeable and threatens to put his feet in a tub of melted butter but changes his mind. Bob accidentally gets shot by Officer Julia and Cliffany and fell into the butter which makes it contaminated. Bob is accused of ruining Lobsterfest and will be thrown on a pile of spiky lobsters. Ron think it's unfair that Hugo isn't reacting to it since Bob was his Wingman. Hugo inspects the butter and announces it is still healthy to eat except for some people.
After the Lobsterfest, Gene lies to Bob that his allergic reacted face was the same since he was born and Hugo broke up with Granchen and blames Bob for not helping him to use his badge well so Hugo and Ron inspects the restaurant since it wasn't clean from last night.
