Mrs. Wicket demands that Bean stay in to take delivery of a new lounge chair. He is forced to dress up as Mrs Wicket to make sure it is delivered.
Plot[]
The episode starts with Bean reading a cookbook and his chair is in bad shape. Bean smells something and he realizes his food is overcooked so he runs to the kitchen and opens the window to let the black smoke out. While hanging her clothes, Wicket sees the black smoke coming from Bean's kitchen so she goes upstairs. Bean then puts the saucepan in his bedroom and he continues reading the cookbook. He pours his food to his plate, and his food is an overcooked mush. Wicket then bursts in and facepalms because of the disaster Bean made and Bean says he has to start again. Since Bean isn't going anywhere, Wicket tells Bean that he can stay in for delivery, shocking Bean; the item being delivered is a recliner. Wicket leaves so Bean has to wait for the delivery. Bean continues cooking his food while he's sleeping then the doorbell rings. His chair snaps and a spring pushes him out of the chair. Bean goes downstairs to answer the doorbell and Bean signs the clipboard for Wicket's chair. But the deliveryman takes the clipboard back from Bean because he's not Mrs. Wicket.
So Bean sees Wicket's laundry and he tells the deliveryman he'll "go get her". Bean gets Wicket's laundry to disguise himself as Wicket. The deliveryman gets infatuated at "Wicket" but he snaps out of it and he shows "her" "her" chair. Bean says in the lounge in his normal voice, shocking the deliveryman, so he says it again with a high pitched voice. But Bean tells the deliveryman to put it in the upstairs lounge instead. Bean returns to his room and he sees his open closet with his clothes so he hides his clothes and closes his closet just as the deliveryman is at the door. Bean removes a beach photo of himself but it's screwed to the wall so he can't pull it out. The pen falls to the floor so Bean gets it and draws on his beach photo so the deliveryman won't know who he really is. The deliveryman brings the chair to his room and he asks Bean if he can take out his old chair in which Bean says yes. Bean tells the deliveryman to just leave it outside Wicket's room and the deliveryman leaves.
Bean takes the brochure out of the recliner and gets a pillow on the floor to put them on his old chair to make Wicket think his old chair is hers. He returns to his room and his food is overcooked once again. So he opens the window to let the black smoke out. His food is an overcooked mush once again. The doorbell rings again, annoying Bean, so he answers it. It's the deliveryman who is well-dressed and he gives him a flower, having fallen in love with "her". Bean takes the flower and closes the door and the doorbell rings again. Bean answers the door and the deliveryman asks "Wicket" if they can go cinema out to which Bean shakes his head. He asks Bean if they can go ice skating to which Bean still shakes his head. The deliveryman then asks Bean if they can eat lunch and this time Bean says yes. They eat out at Restaurant La Cuisine where they sit on their table. The waiter arrives with bread and asks for their order; the deliveryman orders salad and Bean orders one of everything but he then orders two of everything instead, shocking the waiter. Bean and the deliveryman fight for the bread and he slaps his hand so he can let go of the bread. Bean eats the whole bread while the deliveryman only eats a crumb. The waiter gives Bean soup of the day but Bean has no spoon. Instead of asking for a spoon, Bean takes the teaspoon for the mustard but it's too small so Bean takes the straw of a girl while the deliveryman is drinking his water. Bean uses the straw to drink the entire soup. The waiter then arrives with garlic bread in which Bean eats it and lets out a huge burp, disgusting the deliveryman.
Later, Bean eats a shrimp on a glass from the glass instead of using a spoon or work, while making a mess. The deliveryman, seeing his clothes dirty, leaves to go to the restroom. Bean gets the second shrimp on a glass when the mop head used as a wig falls off. He goes to get the mop head when the waiter unknowingly kicks it to the kitchen. The deliveryman exits the restroom and Bean sees spaghetti bring served to the same girl so Bean pulls the table cloth to make the spaghetti fall on his head. The deliveryman returns and asks Bean if he has done something to his hair to which Bean says yes, and he eats a fallen meatball. The waiter then serves Bean two of everything which are ribs and steak and serves the deliveryman salad which is only small. Bean eats lobster and the deliveryman eats his salad and the waiter serves Bean a slice of pie in which Bean says the whole pie. The deliveryman continues chatting while eating salad and the waiter serves dessert for two which is ice cream. But Bean tells the deliveryman off and takes the ice cream for himself. The other customers look at Bean in confusion. The deliveryman asks the waiter for the bill. The waiter gives them the large bill and two candies; Bean takes the first candy. The deliveryman looks at the bill (the bill reveals the server's name is Arnie) and says he had only this and Bean had everything else.
Bean takes the second candy and the deliveryman pays for his food so Bean has to pay for his; Bean gets shocked when he sees his large bill. He empties his purse and there's no money inside. So Bean runs to the men's restroom and a man gets angry at Bean, thinking that he's a woman. Bean asks the man what's his problem in his normal voice and he leaves to the women's restroom when he realizes his "mistake". A woman enters the restroom and screams when she sees Bean who removed his disguise. Bean exits the restroom where the deliveryman is talking to Arnie who is asking for the payment that he didn't have everything else. Bean then makes a run for it. The deliveryman goes to the women's restroom and the woman inside screams and the deliveryman tells Arnie she's gone. Bean escapes from the restaurant so now the deliveryman has to pay for everything else.
Bean returns home to put Wicket's clothes back to the laundry basket when a taxi arrives. Wicket arrives and asks Bean where's her chair and Bean points to her his old chair. And Bean says that it didn't look like the chair in the picture. Bean relax in his room with Wicket's recliner. The doorbell rings so Bean looks out the window and it's the deliveryman. The deliveryman asks for the Mrs. Wicket to which the real Wicket says she's Mrs. Wicket but the deliveryman says she's not Wicket to which she says she is. The deliveryman then says Wicket is the one who lives upstairs with the new chair. Wicket furiously calls Bean and Bean realizes his lie has been exposed so Bean panics. Wicket and the deliveryman furiously burst in to Bean's room and Wicket tells Bean that's her chair and Bean says he can explain and Wicket furiously tells Bean to put her chair downstairs now. Wicket and the deliveryman are having cake and coffee and Bean puts her chair in her room. Bean attempts to push the chair back up, without any success.
