Encyclopedia
Stan's Night Out is the twentieth episode of the fourth season of the animated series American Dad!
and the fourth season finale. The episode aired on May 17, 2009 on Fox
.
Stan shows up at a restaurant with Dick, Jackson, and Saunders, unexpectedly. They share some laughs and eat Chinese food, then play Credit Card Roulet, which triggers Stan's nerves. It turns out that Dick has to pay the bill. While on the way to the Cigar Bar, Dick hits another vehicle. Since he has 3 DUI's already, Dick knocks out the driver of the vehicle and places him in the trunk of his car. Stan becomes extremely devastated and attempts to take the man to a hospital, only to be stopped by a cop due to Stan missing the entire front portion of his vehicle. Dick, Jackson, and Saunders come out of the Cigar Bar and once again, knock out the cop. They then place him in the trunk with a "trunk buddy."
While on the way to the hospital, Dick starts to cry. It turns out he misses his dog, Biscuit, whom his ex-wife, Sheila, kept when they divorced. Dick and Stan technically break into to Dick's past household (where his wife is living), and attempt to take Biscuit out, only to be stopped by Sheila. Al, who is Dick's barber, comes out of Sheila's room buck naked. It turns out that Sheila was "nailing" Al. A furious Dick starts to beat up all, and eventually, Jackson knocks him out with a lamp. They then place Al in the trunk.
While cruising around town, the guys find hookers. They take them to the CIA to have a dance party. Since Dick spent all his money that night, he does not pay his prostitute, only to have her steal his car. Dick follows his GPS online, only to find out that Misty (the prostitute who stole the car), has taken the vehicle to Fernando Jaramillo, who is the most ruthless killer on the eastern seaboard.
The guys eventually make it to Fernando's mansion, killing guards on their way to a shed, where they find the cop, the man, and Al. Fernando comes in, and attempts to lure the guys off his property, which only works on Jackson, Dick, and Saunders. Stan tries to have Biscuit and Cheesers (a mouse) distract Fernando and his crew out of the shed. Since it does not work, Stan bets with Fernando that he can start a lawn mower ten times straight without stopping. It turns out that Stan did not succeed at that, which means that Fernando gets his leg - which was the bet.
The next day, Stan shows up at work with crutches and his pantleg halfway up. The guys first are saddened, but then it turns out that Stan's leg was not really cut off. Cheesers, the mouse, came back to the shed and apparently "rescued" Stan. In the end, Stan goes back to spending his nights at home with Francine and makes a threating phone call to the Canadian TV show host that was seen at the beginning of the episode for giving out information which didn't help Stan in his rescue mission.
Meanwhile, Hayley and Roger ("Amber") try to attract a frat boy. Roger lives up to his best girl by drawing a vagina and shoving a wide object up his dress, followed by the phrase "no babies for me." The boy picks Roger and takes him/her to a party. Roger is having fun at first only to find out that the party is a pig party (where college men bring unattractive girls as their dates). Roger then leaves and apologizes to Hayley for treating her as if she was ugly. He then takes her out, supposedly to get a drink, but actually as his date to the pig party although he refers to "this hog as a blue ribbon".
