Background[]
During a family outing to the beach, Bud and Kelly Bundy wager a bet to see which one of them will be able to find a "squeeze" before the end of the day. After Bud makes no progress with the women he tried to flirt with, he comes across Tina, who is crying after the handle from her sand bucket came off. Feeling bad for the young girl, he offers to fix it for her. After popping it back on, she smiles and kisses him on the cheek, then declares him to be her boyfriend.
Just then, an attractive young woman in a bikini named Lucy walks by as Bud calls out to her and starts to flirt with her. He tries to convince her that he is "Bud Bon Jovi" and that he believes that she has what it takes to be in his next music video for MTV. She tells him that she would do anything to be in a rock video, as he puts on a sly smile and promises to make her do things for it. Tina stands up ands tugs on his shorts while calling him "Boyfriend" to get his attention. Lucy sees Tina and thinks she's cute, just before the young child loudly declares that Bud is hers alone and throw water on her. The now upset Lucy slaps Bud across the face and storms off, as Tina wraps herself around his arm and declares her love for her boyfriend again while giving him lovey-dovey eyes.
A few moments later, another attractive woman named Luana walks up to Bud and asks him if he has the time. Immediately, Tina tells the woman "Not for you, tramp!" and throws another bucket of water on the woman. Luana then proceeds to slap Bud on the face, as Tina continues clinging onto him. The two then start making sand castles near the water, as Kelly tries to flirt with a guy named Chris a few feet away from them. As he sees his sister clinging onto Chris and looking successful with her attempt at getting a "squeeze", Bud is about to admit defeat. He informs Tina that Kelly is his sister and he is just going over to talk with her, but Tina insist that she will be going with him, causing him to feel like he's now trapped in a marriage.
After seeing Chris ditch Kelly so he could drive his friend around in his corvette, Bud walks over with Tina clinging onto him, and the siblings admit that since neither one of them got a "squeeze", the bet is off. Just then, Tina declares that Bud is her boyfriend and realizing what has happened, he lets out a smile and extends his hand out to Kelly, as he has now won their bet.
Sometime later, Peggy Bundy expresses her gratitude to Al Bundy for turning down his old girlfriend, Marilyn Beamis who was trying to seduce him while Peg slept. A moment later, the kids return, with Tina still clinging onto Bud and leaving Peg confused and wondering how did they get a third child. After Kelly reveals that Tina is Bud's squeeze, a concerned Al tells him that they going to have a talk when they get back home, but then asks Tina to take a picture family together with Al's camera.
