Marcy want to break some legs, while Peg and Steve want to sue.
In court, the details of the Bundys' sex life leave the jury so
unimpressed that they award them nothing, but Steve and Marcy's
performance was worth $10,000. [Note: this episode was never

for more detailed information.]

but she drops the idea at the last minute and does something slightly more
exciting (and erotic). Also, Al gives the Bundy credo as: "When one Bundy
