Ida's Boyfriend

Series 5, episode 11

Written by Neil Thompson

Directed by Peter Lauer

Originally Aired On: Sunday, 08 February 2004

Malcolm gets his tongue pierced and needs to hide it for a month. While Lois's mother, Ida comes and announces that she is going to marry a rich Chinese Man that she met on a cruise. Malcolm gets complications when his tongue ring gets infected, rendering him unable to say "S's" and he discovers that Ida has been drugging her fiancé with opiates and mood enhancers. When Lois and Hal confront Ida, she drugs them with free food. But luckily, the fiancé misses a drug treatment, and realises that Ida is a terrible woman and he leaves her at the altar. Malcolm is punished for his tongue piercing.

Meanwhile at the ranch, Otto decides to hire a murder mystery-acting group, but it all turns out badly.
