Plot

The members of the K-9 Unit are all getting a physical exam. When it's Kevin's turn, he enthusiastically claims he'll perform it to make his country proud. Ralph asks to forgive him, as Kevin gets pumped the week after the Olympics.

The vet tells Kevin that the point of physical isn't to set records, he doesn't need to try and beat his natural reaction time during the reflex tests, nor did he need to fill the urinalysis jar all the way. Kevin replies he's just trying to be the best he can be. 

Finally, the vet tells him that his body fat percentage is 0.5%. Kevin is excited, until the doctor tells him that his body fat needs to be a minimum 3% and tells him he needs to change his diet. Kevin is seen eating a box of donuts while crying, saying it feels wrong, while Fido offers his condolences.

Events

• Kevin's surname (Beauregard) is first mentioned.
