Lemon Fred

Lemon Fred is the seventh episode of the first season of Fred: The Show.

Synopsis
Fred wants a scooter, but he doesn't have enough money, so he decides to open up a lemonade stand called Lemon Fred and creates a lemonade called the Lemon Wallop.

Plot
The episode begins with Fred looking through a catalog. He says that he wants to buy an Eco-Starlight 500, one of the hottest electric scooters on the market. However, he doesn't have enough money to buy one.

He considers earning money, briefly considering participating in the Tour de France, and then finally considering the idea of a lemonade stand. He gets to work, perfecting a lemonade recipe and coining it as the Lemon Wallop.

At first, he doesn't have much success selling it, but then Fred figures that he should catch people's eye and advertise something more-- he creates a place to enjoy the lemonade by redecorating his living room as a café and calling it "Lemon Fred's". It works and his business attracts many customers. But when Bertha calls him asking to hang out, Fred has to decline due to his work. He then decides to hire an employee to help.

He hires a teenager to work the lemonade stand. His work performance seems decent, but Fred isn't sure to trust him with the business while he goes to the beach with Bertha. So Fred disguises himself to test his employee's competence. While he's contemplating terminating him due to a perceived breach of dress code, Fred's mom goes through the refrigerator and finds out that Fred has been using her clam juice, which is revealed to be the secret ingredient for the Lemon Wallop. This shocks most of the customers and prompts them to leave.

The customer that Fred's employee had just served turned out to be a health inspector, who found Lemon Fred's to be in violation of several health and safety codes. As his employee sells him out and Fred struggles to defend himself from the inspector, his electric scooter is delivered. He then quickly calls up Bertha and tells her that he's free for today after all.

The episode ends with Fred's employee and the health inspector chasing Fred, who is getting away on his electric scooter and ready for the beach.
