He begins to feel threatened, as Snot develops into a charismatic and arrogant individual that Steve's friends look up to.
Meanwhile, Stan wishes to live a more urbane lifestyle and starts drinking martinis, but his low alcohol tolerance causes him to pass out on several occasions and run around Langley Falls in a drunk tangent.
It featured guest appearances from Edward Asner and Carl Reiner, as well as several recurring voice actors and actresses for the series.
In the present, while Steve is proposing an idea to his friends of tasting 31 ice cream flavors at Baskin-Robbins, Snot professes his love for Hayley, despite her marriage to Jeff Fischer.
Back home, Steve becomes outraged at Roger and the two fighting constantly over Snot's increasing raunchier relationship with Jenny.
At the Wild West Land amusement park, Steve spills the news to Snot, showing the stress ball as proof.
Roger shows up momentarily as the businessman to pay respects, and reveals to Steve how he faked his death: he has the ability to move "really, really fast."
She gives him a chance anyway, only to subsequently chase him running down the street in only his underwear and witness him destroy a mailbox while attempting to vault over it.
Francine then disbars the arrangement, but Stan decides to get drunk again, causing him to fondly reminisce on his time in the fifth grade, then pass out repeatedly.

The stress ball that Roger uses to fake sex with Snot is a promotional item for the Fox sitcom Sons of Tucson, which was subsequently canceled after replacing American Dad!
[8] The scene in which Stan hallucinates and imagines Francine as a witch flying on a broom is shown in a similar fashion to the opening sequence of Bewitched.
Roger, as Jenny, compares Snot to a "young Paul Reiser" whereas Steve says on his best day he is Rob Morrow.
The final scene during the ending credits of the episode is a reference to the 2010 science fiction action heist film, Inception.
