Synopsis
Grape Ape comes out to compete in the Laff-a-Lympics. He goes through his ribbon dancing routine flawlessly, but when he takes a bow, all manner of pills, including steroids, fall from his uniform.
Harvey walks into his office to find a giant urine sample waiting for him. Phil comes in with the Laff-a-Lympics committee, who begin to steal things from Harvey's office, something they continue to do through the whole episode. Phil hopes to get the Laff-a-Lympics to come to their city. He has a big night planned with all of them and Gigi, his (and Harvey's... and everyone else's) shared wife. Gigi comes in, and she's pregnant. She claims Harvey is the father, though he doesn't recall their ever engaging in sexual congress and they've only recently met.
Harvey and Reducto have a nice chat about the whole situation, as well as the Grape Ape case that they're both working on. Reducto sees the giant primate, and shrinks him down to fun-size. Grape Ape then grabs a weight and pumps it until he grows back to his normal size, which sends Reducto off screaming about how he's met the unshrinkable.
The courtroom has been splattered with ads. Gigi interrupts the case to leech off Harvey, but upon his return he speaks with a few unnaturally muscular witnesses who all claim Grape Ape had nothing to do with steroids. Reducto's witness describes the side-effects of steroids use, including withered testicles, which Reducto seizes upon since Grape Ape should show reproductive organs the size of a nearby vendor's pushcart. An expert is about to reveal the test results when he is hit by a dart in the neck by Harvey's new paralegal, son of a shaman/member of the Laff-a-Lympics committee.
Eleven of the jury members vote "guilty", but the French member votes "not guilty". Mentok disregards this and convicts Grape Ape anyway. The doctor wakes up from the dart, and reveals that Grape Ape is the father of Gigi's baby. Also, the Laff-a-Lympics go to Dallas. Grape Ape and the others have to perform a court-ordered song about drugs as a sentence.
