Malcolm & Eddie - Season 1 Episode 15

While Malcolm wants to use his grocery store parking lot after hours, Mr. Gordon makes clear that he has no intention of attracting any more unsavory customers. Upon seeing someone causing a scene at the bar, Mr. Gordon notes that he's just the type who have been causing him trouble, too. And when Eddie steps in pretending to be a martial arts expert, he's challenged to fight at a local kung fu studio. Meanwhile, Nicolette claims to have found the perfect roommate in Holly. To prepare for his match against Rudy, Eddie calls on Man Li, a teacher of kung fu. While Eddie is asked to first find inner peace before resorting to violence, Malcolm is sure it's a prescription for disaster in his match. Then, as Malcolm decides to bribe Mr. Gordon with an autographed baseball bat, Rudy gets even madder when Eddie refuses to fight. Meanwhile, it doesn't take long for Nicolette to tire of Holly's neatness, and for Holly to grow weary of her roommate's non-stop talking. As she is nursing Eddie's damaged ribs, things between Nicolette and Holly finally boil over. And while Malcolm tries to mediate, his agreeableness only gets him into trouble with the two women. Meanwhile, as Eddie and Malcolm head to give Mr. Gordon the bat, Rudy arrives looking for a fight. And though trying to keep his cool, Eddie unloads and, after considerable damage to the market, takes Rudy out. Finally, after agreeing to pay for the damage and throw in an autographed baseball, too, Malcolm convinces Mr. Gordon to let him use the lot.
