What was Steve expecting here? Maybe if we had a little more details on this dance in question we’d have a better idea, but this story moves around largely in the background and it’s to its detriment. This results in Steve getting jealous that Stan had sex with Francine that night-effectively stealing his date-in a pretty ridiculous plot that doesn’t make a lot of sense. On the other side of the Smith family, Steve and Francine are off to a mother/son dance apparently, with Stan acting as chaperone. This season has been light on classic Roger material, but this is certainly up there, as is the constant costume use we see through the episode. He plays Hailey in one direction and Ax in the other, as he dovetails their lives beautifully in a way where he gains the most that he possibly can. The fact that all of this has in the end been apart of one macro-scheme by Roger is just perfect. Or rather, Roger in the persona of Rosaline, a Bettie Page-looking woman (as Ax’s tattoo on his crotch would indicate at least before her “accident”). The discussion even leads to a very welcome Klaus-as-a-human flashback about love lost and infidelity that also helps add to the pathos and emotion bubbling behind this one.ĭespite Hailey’s scruples, the sexual tension and trust spitting exercises Hailey and Ax do together begin to become too much, until the fairly brilliant twist is turned to that Ax’s wife is Rosaline. The show tries to have Hailey navigate through this as responsibly as possible, discussing the pros and cons of sleeping with a married man. At the same time, she does have a husband who she does love, he’s only lot in space with the ghost of Sinbad, somewhere. Roger is largely just playing around with Hailey’s life, but she really would like to find love. Watching Roger, Hailey, and Klaus beat around this issue is pretty engaging, and as outlandish as this plot is, there’s a real emotional core to Hailey’s situation that’s absolutely felt. So it’s only a matter of time until Hailey begins getting closer with the office hunk, Ax Jenkins, ready to seal the deal on her perfect life, until she learns that Ax is married. Incorporated, like that everyone hates Andrew and that the boss is big on banana chips. She begins to master the ins and outs at Businesscorp Industries Corp. Well worn ground at this point.Hailey continues to follow Boone/Roger’s three-step system (get a job get a man then get a baby with that man so you can ditch that job) as her life starts to come together, with Klaus acting as a very active audience in the matter. Billy’s back and decapitating him doesn’t kill him.

Stan has short term memory loss and has tattoos to remind him of things like in the movie Momento.Lewis dresses like The Falcon and does a Trainspotting.

They agree and the boys are brought back to life where they are friends but have no memories of their mothers. They find the boys and make a deal with Satan that the boys can come back to life but Francine and Esther have to spend eternity in hell together.

Once Francine and Esther realize this, they and Roger travel to hell to retrieve Steve and Snot. Of course, this results in their actual deaths. The two eventually run away together, and once again get Roger’s help to fake their deaths. Roger attempts to drug Francine and Esther but he gives them meth.Īfterward Francine and Esther forbid Steve and Snot from seeing each other and enlist Principal Lewis to keep them apart. They enlist Roger, who is having his own crisis as an unsuccessful mixologist (which is why this is “Roger’s Story”). They announce that the book club is over, which causes Steve and Snot to worry that their friendship will suffer. However, Francine and Esther (consistently referred to in the episode as “Snot’s mom”) fight and agree that they were only pretending to be friends for the kids’ benefit. Steve and Snot are having a weeknight sleepover because their moms get together for book club. From “Jenny Fromdablock” to “Steve’s Franken Out” there always seems to be something that tests their friendship. The Steve and Snot friendship is always one that seems to be teetering on the brink of disaster. In which Steve and Snot try to hold it together…
