(contracted; show full)eturned with Trish, the angry head of the fundraiser. Trish pressured/threatened them into buying 20 magazines by nearly ripping up their serving counter. Jimmy Pesto stopped by to jeer at Bob but Bob managed to use reverse psychology to trick Jimmy Pesto into ordering and paying for 40 magazines, which had Bob and Linda overall pleased (they may have gotten scammed but Jimmy Pesto got scammed twice as hard).

==Reception==
Alasdair Wilkins of ''[[The A.V. Club]]'' gave the episode an A
, saying, "Despite my—wholly justifiable, dammit!—ignorance of the finer points of what this episode is having fun with, I’m still comfortable saying “The Runaway Club” is a first-rate episode. Part of it is that its use of ''The Breakfast Club'' is mostly as a bookend for the episode, mimicking the opening of the film, complete with Zeke almost getting run over by Jimmy Pesto. What's impressive is how funny that moment is even for someone like me who hasn't seen the inspiration. Much of this has to do with how well-honed the show's—and, by extension, the audience's—understanding of the characters is. This isn't like some animated shows that will remain nameless (but yeah, I'm totally talking about ''Family Guy''), where the characters are mostly just vehicles for whatever random gag the show wants to do.".<ref>{{cite web|last=Wilkins |first=Alasdair |url=http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/bobs-burgers-runway-club-216911 |title=Review: Bob's Burgers: "The Runaway Club" |publisher=Avclub.com |date=2015-03-22 |access-date=2015-05-22}}</ref>
