About Heather[]
After the Bundys attend the funeral for Al's uncle, Joe, he's happy that he got the pocketwatch, a family heirloom that the claimed that Uncle Joe said he would let him have when he saw him last, at the age of 7. At the same time, it was revealed that Peggy, Kelly and Bud had also taken a few things from Joe's house during the wake.
As Al admires the pocketwatch, the doorbell rings and he goes to answer it. He sees Heather, his uncle's gold-digging wife and her lawyer, with their arms interlocked. He tells her how sorry the family is for her loss, before she points out that he tried to bite the ring off the finger of Uncle Joe, but Al defends himself saying he was merely trying to kiss him, claiming that he loved the man.
Heather, who herself is shown to be a gold digger, seems to not care and demands all of the items that the Bundys had taken, starting with the pocketwatch. Al tells her that his uncle wanted him to keep it and says that it ought to be reflected when they have the reading of Uncle Joe's will. Aunt Heather says Joe died without a will and as such she inherits his entire estate.
As she tries to step forward and take it directly, Al steps back and then goes into a fight stance, saying he's ready to duke it out with her and the lawyer. Her lawyer sees this and reminds him that there are laws against stealing and "overflowing a dead man's toilet". Heather uses this opportunity to swipe the watch and her coat back from them, while telling them they should be ashamed of they've done. As she starts to feel bad that these items are all she has left of Joe, the lawyer tells her to hurry up so they can get to the pawnshop by 6pm and then catch their flight to Bimini. Heather then smiles and says goodbye to the Bundys as she walks out arm-in-arm with her lawyer/boyfriend.
Peg then denounces Heather about how grabby some women are, before hypocritically emptying her purse of more pilfered items.
