The House that Peg Lost is the 16th episode of season 3 of Married...With Children, also the 51st overall series episode. It originally aired on FOX on April 23, 1989. Directed by Gerry Cohen and written by Steve Granat and Mel Sherer. The title name is a spoof of the nickname of Yankee Stadium, "The House that Ruth Built."

Synopsis

Peg an Al are called to house-sit for the vacationing Steve and Marcy, leading to the Rhoades' house being taken away by a moving man looking for a roadhouse. Meanwhile, Kelly has a slumber party with her friends, which leads to chaos when Bud reveals that Kelly slept with her one best friends' boyfriends.

Full episode summary

After asking the Bundys to watch their house for the day, Marcy and Steve return to find a big hole where their house once stood. It seems that Peggy had earlier that day mistakenly told a wrecking crew looking to demolish a place called Steve's Road House and she directed them to Steve 'Rhoades' house instead. So the Rhoades are forced to spend the night at the Bundy house. Meanwhile, Kelly throws a slumber party for four of her girlfriends, but Bud ends up disrupting it and turns it into a "cat-fight" riot!
