Surro-Gate

When Greg and Terry have trouble finding a donor, Francine offers to be the surrogate mother for the couple's baby.

Stan is enraged when he finds out that his wife is the surrogate for Greg and Terry's baby, and he later vows to take the infant to Nebraska to put her up for adoption.

The idea for "Surro-Gate" was inspired from executive producer Kenny Schwartz, who had a child through IVF during the episode's production.

They are rescued by a woman on a quad bike named Lily (played by Leisha Hailey), who takes them to her home.

The pair explain they are a lesbian couple who decided to bring him to their home to show him that a gay family can be stable and hopefully convince him to return baby Liberty to her parents.

After realizing the error of his ways, Stan tries to apologize, but Greg and Terry punch him and put a restraining order on him as punishment for kidnapping their new baby, while allowing Francine and the others to play with the baby in the park, though they let Stan come (on the condition that he stay far enough away, of course); his methods of cooing her from afar proving obviously ineffective.

As a result, they grow paranoid and live in the attic for the nine months in which the episode takes place, starving, wearing diapers and not letting any can of food out of their sight for a second.

[2] Mike Barker also notes that for Terry and Greg's quick dance sequence, the team had to secure the rights for "Jet Song" from West Side Story to play in the background, which they were eventually granted.

In addition to the regular cast, actresses Jane Lynch, Leisha Hailey, and Mary Jo Catlett guest starred in the episode.

She went on to criticize the subplot: "I would have much preferred to see an all-out war between the two factions, rather than Roger and Steve wearing diapers and slowly growing even more pathetic".
