Answer
The episode in which Bobby takes the lead on Dale, Bill, and Boomhauer’s back‑alley hangouts is:
“The Texas Skillsaw Massacre” – Season 7, Episode 7 of King of the Hill.
In this episode the trio’s usual alley spot becomes a project run by Bobby. He organizes the group’s attempts to dig a tunnel (the “skillsaw” reference) and essentially directs their back‑alley activities, a departure from the usual dynamic where Dale, Bill, and Boomhauer lead the meetings themselves.
