Everybody Hates Malvo is the fifth episode of the second season of Everybody Hates Chris.
Synopsis[]
Doc goes to the bank during the store hours and asks Chris to run the register while he's gone. When he leaves, Malvo arrives and demands money. Chris gives him some money, and Malvo takes a few other items as well, then leaves. When Doc returns, he and Chris work on some sketches of the robber, but all the sketches are of famous people who clearly aren't the robbers. Malvo arrives during this, and he and Doc talk about the robbery. Before Malvo leaves, he distracts Doc with the cameras, and shows his gun to Chris. Doc fires Chris because he won't tell who robbed the store, but Chris eventually gives in and tells Doc that Malvo robbed the store, so he can get his job back. Doc calls the cops, and they set up an operation to catch Malvo. Malvo arrives and demands the money again, and Chris obeys. Once Malvo gets the money, the cops arrest him. This doesn't end well for Chris as Malvo threatens him that he’s coming for him when he gets out. Chris is obviously spooked by this and screams “Help!” and runs away over the “Everybody Hates Chris” hook playing, ending the episode.
Subplot[]
Julius brings home a Betamax and allows everyone to use it so long as he can use it to record his own shows. Tonya records over Julius's shows, causing him to yell at her, and the two of them do not talk for a while. Eventually, Rochelle persuades Julius to apologize to Tonya, and they are no longer mad at each other.
Trivia[]
- This is the first time Chris is mentioned to work at Doc's store. This was likely arranged by Julius after Everybody Hates Father's Day since he suggested Chris to get a job to help pay the bills and because he speaks of having a good friendship with Doc to make it so.
