CHRIS GETS FIRED - Chris (Tyler James Williams) is honored when Doc (Antonio Fargas) finally entrusts him with watching the cash register, but the situation goes from good to really bad when Chris is robbed by the neighborhood's notorious repeat-offender, Malvo (guest star Ricky Harris). Then, when Chris refuses to tell Doc who robbed the place for fear that Malvo will retaliate, Doc has no other choice but to fire Chris.
