Plot[]
Frank paints Ray's house against his wishes, and enlists Robert and Ray to help. When Franks bosses them around and chooses a color Ray does not approve of, Ray fires him. Marie then explains that Frank was fired from his last job. Ray confronts Frank, and Frank loudly explains his reasons for making the decisions he had made about painting the house, stating that he shouldn't need to explain. Ray apologizes and brings him back, agreeing that Frank will be in charge. In the end, Ray wants to use the power-brush Robert is using to paint. Ray sabotages Robert to get the power-brush but they end up spraying lemon-meringue paint on Marie, which then makes Frank happy.

- The colors "Lemon Meringue" that Frank paints the house in and "Chantilly Lace" that Ray wanted were both references to The X-Files: Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose (1995), for which Peter Boyle won an Emmy for portray the title character.
