Episode 165

Rajiv puts his foot down about dancing in Princess Lakshmi's family's Bollywood-obsessed household.  She suggests that his princely persona be "too royal" even to dance, which he can do.  Quacky, the extremely aged duck, leads the princess to her mother, who has been training him to dance, too.  Mother seems even more dance-obsessed and only casually worried that Poppa had been impersonated in America and now is missing.  Mother wisely suggests searching for her father in a montage, which, unfortunately, turns up nothing.

Meanwhile, in Solomon's River Police Headquarters, an officer reports to Lieutenant Bustybottoms that he is frustrated with the calls from the 7-11 because "the guy there is a jerk."  The officer also reports Facebook activity calling for Bustybottoms to be fired (okay), run out of town (sounds good), and have forcible butt-sex (sure) with Burt Convy's corpse (noooo!) and it's the MAYOR who is behind the messages!  Bustybottoms goes to confront the Mayor.

The mayor's office is also being inundated with 7-11 phone calls, but ignores them.  Lieutenant Bustybottoms arrives and the secretary lets him in as he's the "Burt Convy's corpse" guy.  The Mayor awaits, with an unconscious woman on the floor at his feet.  Bustybottoms pulls his gun and puts the Mayor under arrest.  The Mayor pulls his own gun, and they try to arrest each other, but the Mayor's cuffs are on the woman.  While they are focused on each other, the woman wakes and shoots them both.  The Mayor more than once.

Meanwhile, in a California mausoleum, a tour guide takes a group through the Hall of Burts/Berts, and is horrified to see Bert Convy is missing!
