"The Gene and Courtney Show" is the seventh episode of the sixth season of the animated comedy series Bob's Burgers and the overall 95th episode, and is written by Rich Rinaldi and directed by Chris Song and Bernard Derriman. It aired on Fox in the United States on February 14, 2016. In the episode, Gene and Courtney are asked to host the morning announcements, but their romantic history threatens to get in the way of their big break. Meanwhile, Tina's attempt to play Cupid at the Valentine's Day carnation fundraiser goes tragically awry.
Valentine's Day is coming up and Tina is in charge of the "Donations 4 Carnations" box. Bob, who forgot to pre-order the carnations, attempts to order them from the florist, from a funeral home, and from the botanical garden but does not succeed. Tina also has troubles when she tears opens up all the envelopes in the locked box to see if anyone submitted her name to send her a carnation. Her mother promises to match the sender to the recipient while she's at school.
After making fun of the boring morning announcements, Gene and Courtney get an offer from the A/V guy, Mr. Grant, to take over morning announcements. Despite some first time jitters, they nail it and are on track to replace Ms. Labonz, growing closer in the process. Unfortunately, their relationship affects their banter and the students soon find them mushy and boring. After determining they cannot be in a relationship and have a successful show, Courtney suggests they give up the relationship, much to Gene's dismay.
Bob and Teddy go to a large flower wholesaler in the middle of the night in a last ditch effort to get 250 carnations for Tina's fundraiser and Bob ends up paying a lot for them. Tina delivers the carnations to the students they were ordered for and is happily surprised when Jimmy Jr gives her a rose at the end of her delivery. Gene and Courtney's announcements are closed out with a heartfelt song by Gene about accepting heartbreak.
