Plot:

When Jerome gets injured, the guys decide to make a calendar of men in uniform as a fundraiser, which is a success, But they also discover that it is in part due to Cleveland's privates showing below his postal shorts. As a result, he loses his job with the post office. But when the Pawtucket Brewery has an issue with its delivery system, Cleveland is able to solve it with his postal knowledge and he is offered a job. He finds himself working with Peter, who not only doesn't appreciate that he intends to take this job seriously, but finds himself promoted to management.

Humiliated at work and at home, Peter sets out to get his job back by getting Cleveland fired, but it backfires and he is fired instead. However, Cleveland goes to bat for him and gets him reinstated, and promptly steps down himself. Returning to the post office, Cleveland asks for his job back and discovers that he was rehired a week ago thanks to union intervention, having failed to get the notice because he didn't check his own mail.

When the guys celebrate over drinks later, Peter needs photos of himself with both Cleveland and Mort Goldman due to racially insensitive comments.
