Plot edit
Late one night, Bob is in bed, reading an article on his laptop about doctors who go to war zones to save lives and feels depressed about how trivial his life running a burger restaurant is, despite Linda’s insistence they make good food which is worthwhile.
The next day, Bob is indifferent to Teddy’s story and lost in thought when a young couple walks in to greet him. The couple, Connor and Farrah, explain to Bob, who does not recognize them, that they had their first date there three months earlier after a fender bender at Wonder Wharf. They also are now engaged, and want bOb to cater their wedding. Bob is excited, but also apprehensive since they are not set up for catering and their kids are not great at helping but Connor and Farrah are okay with it, as they don’t want a traditional wedding and want a caterer who means something to them. The wedding will be on the water outside of Bog Harbor, and Bob figures they can get outdoor stuff and rent a gas grill. But Bob and Linda are shocked that the couple are having their wedding a week from that Saturday since they didn’t want to wait. Bob agrees, but after they leave, Linda says they won’t make it, with even Bob surprised given how she loves weddings and such. Linda feels that three months is not enough time and they still don’t know each other as well as they should or gotten in real fights, etc. Bob however is excited, as his burgers brought them together, and finds it beautiful (and tries to lead everyone else in a chant about it, but they already unsure what he wanted them to say during a huddle and instead use Gene’s “herpes herpes hooray” prank one).
The next Saturday, at a bluff overlooking the ocean, the wedding is being set up. Bob wants it to be a success, as the burgers brought the couple together, while Linda says it will be the couple’s fault if it fails as they are the ones rushing into it. Bob is doing most of the work and so wont’ have time to clean the grease trap for the rented grill, so one of the kids will have to do it. The wind keeps picking up before Connor and Farrah approach them. Bob explains his burger of the day, the “Ring Gruyère-er”(ring bearer), with Farro salad (for Farrah), which they love, and that he will work away from the crew but it turns out the wedding guests are doing it very “DIY” and helping set it up. Farrah’s grandmother also sent a cake as she could not attend, with red velvet and cream cheese frosting, driven up from Atlanta, and ask it be kept cold ion one of Bob’s coolers. They are also short-handed, so Bob send site kids to help set up.
The kids grumble while setting up the wedding chairs, and notice a wedding photographer who is taking pictures of them as everyone loves kids in wedding photos.
Bob manages to fit the cake in a cooler, while Linda complains that they’re doing everything and Connor and Farrah din’t think anything through right before they arrive again. As the ceremony is about to begin, the two ask the Belchers to be guests and watch, which Bob agrees to, while Linda is not happy.
The kids finish setting up the chairs when they notice boxes being taped under the seats, and learn from the guys taping that it is a surprise for the ceremony, before the wind blows away a poster board photo of Connor and Farrah rafting. Right before the wedding, Bob gets a call from Teddy, who wrote a toast that Bob finds annoying and hangs up. As they rise for the bride walking down the aisle, Bob starts crying at how their food helped start all this, before the wind picks up. The wind’s interference causes the officiant’s microphone to cut out, and the surprise happens with the guests grabbing the boxes under the seats. However, the surprise, butterflies in the boxes are all dead or about dead due to being in the boxes, and when everyone throws their dead butterflies in the air, the wind simply blows them into the water. The vows are cut off by the wind on the mic, and then Farrah’s childhood blanket Frankie, which was tied to the wedding arch with Connor’s, is blown off the bluff by the wind.
As the wind blows away napkins and table clothes for the reception, Bob admits the wedding was bad as the Belchers start food prep, which is why he wants to reception to be perfect to make up for it as might be the only thing to save the day, despite his family telling him not to put pressure on himself. Unfortunately the grill is blown out by the wind so he and Linda move it by their car, and when the kids play with the burger’s onion rings instead of helping, he tells them to go away. Bob thinks out loud about how he wants to not screw up and make it perfect as this wedding is his equivalent of being a doctor in a war zone, to prove his job is not stupid, while Linda tells him that it’s not on him and the couple rushed in too fast, but Bob feels he needs it more than anything.
The kids decide a game where they see who gets in the most photos at the wedding, with the one who is in the least amount of photos having to clean the grease trap on the rental grill. The kids photobomb as much as they physically can.
Bob is upset, with 20 slices of Gruyère missing and fearing it will be another thing that went wrong that day as Linda tells him he’s not responsible for anything that happened, but Bob says that they are responsible for helping he couple meet, and thus responsible for all of it. Linda points out that just because they met at the restaurant doesn’t mean the Belchers are the cause of the poorly planned wedding in a windstorm. Bob takes the cake out of the cooler and finds the Gruyère, but he bumps into the table with the cake and manages to catch it, but slips on the Gruyère slices eh dropped, and falls chest-first into the cake, crushing it.
Bob is horrified he crushed the cake and ruined the day, and Linda suggests they leave or tell them, which bob refuses to do. Bob suggests putting it back together and hoping that the evening light hide it, but realizes he’s ruined their whole wedding, and Linda volunteers to try and reconstruct it.
The kids look through the photographer’s digital camera to count how many times they each appear, with Tina having the most and Louise above Gene by one. But Gene gets ahead due to appearing twice in a woman’s sunglasses’ reflection, leaving Louise the loser and Tina the winner.
At the dinner reception, the cake cutting is called for, and Linda brings the cake, but refuses to come out from under the trees and shadows but relents and walks to the table with the smushed cake, to everyone’s horror. Bob tells Connor and Farrah that he was rushing around trying to make it perfect but that rushing led him to fall on the cake, and Farrah starts crying at how everything did go wrong (such as the wind blowing away the blanket she was goin to give their children). As she wonders if it’s all an omen to Connor, Linda takes the mic. She gives a speech about how she thought Connor and Farrah hadn’t been through enough bad stuff together and were not ready, but as that day the universe “cut a big fart” and they didn’t crack like most people would, and that the way they handled everything makes her optimistic they will make it as they care about each other. And that the cake is edible while falling apart, so everyone eats.
As the wedding guests dance, the Belchers stand off to the side and eat cake, with Bob telling Linda she saved the wedding while she says they saved the wedding. Louise spots Frankie the blanket wet and washed up on the rocks as Linda finds a leaf in her cake piece.
Reception edit
The episode was viewed by 1.616 Million people when it originally aired.
Caleb of BubbleBlabber gave this episode a 8.75, saying “Is this a Bob’s Burgers tradition now, to have a longer-form song in every season finale? You won’t hear any complaints from me…Something Old, Something New, Something Bob Caters for You is a fitting finale for what has proved to be a fantastic season for this show.”[1]
Brianna Wellen of A.V. Club gave this episode a positive review, stating “Once again, Bob’s Burgers goes out with a big, musical bang. Especially in stories like “Something Old” when emotions are running high, it makes things so much more dynamic when a well-crafted, Broadway-esque number is brought into the episode. The musical team of Bob’s Burgers is one of the most talented groups in entertainment today, and they helped send-off season eight with the gusto, drama, and heart it deserves.“[2]
Lenny Burnham of Hardwood and Hollywood was mixed on this episode, saying "Bob worrying about the importance of his job came out of nowhere. It was a good idea to show a new aspect to his character after 8 seasons. But, the episode lacked a strong inciting incident", but he thought the episode overall did its job well, saying "It was a nice ending to the season that spoke to the scrappy, simple optimism of the show overall."[3]
The episode currently has an 8.2/10 rating on IMDB as of November 2023.
