'''A Plot:''' Davis buys an old table hockey game for the station, and he discovers that Karen is really good. Word quickly spreads around town about Karen's skill, with many wondering if she can beat Brent (considered the town's best player). A series of games is proposed between the two, with Davis and Wanda acting as instigators. Hank becomes enamored with Karen's training regimen, ditching Brent to make her his new role model. After setting up games at the police station and the Leroy house, Brent has to come from behind to emerge triumphant.
