Rigsby, Alan, Philip and Ruth go out to an upmarket restaurant (which has a strict dress code) for Ruth's birthday. Rigsby borrows his new lodger Spooner's suit, without his permission—and Alan borrows Spooner's bow tie. Spooner shows up and angrily takes the tie from Alan and demands that Rigsby return the suit to him. Spooner rips the right sleeve off the suit. The restaurant's manager throws Rigsby and Alan out for being improperly dressed.
