Much of this week’s American Dad was surprisingly predictable. Stan’s insecurity nearly cost him his relationship with Francine when he learned that Stan wasn’t her first choice. It’s sad to think that Stan would actually track down Francine’s first choice to see what she missed out on and the guy seemed terrific, making Stan think that Francine settled when she chose him.
Things got a little predictable when Stan tested Francine’s love by leaving with Roger for a period to see if Francine would fall in love with her ex. Stan thought he had the perfect plan, do a little vacationing on a secret FBI island while he eavesdropped on Francine. This quickly changes when Stan and Roger’s little island is destroyed by an enormous wave.
Back away, Steve. It’s a trap.
Neither Stan nor Roger coped very well but managed to get to safety when Roger allowed Stan to sit on top of him and paddle to safety.
For me, the funnier plot was the one surrounding Steve and that cat. Sure, it was largely overlooked by Stan’s insecurities, but being a cat owner, I happened to find Steve’s plot more entertaining and it just got wilder as it went on.
Still, there wasn’t a whole lot of humor in this episode. The Steve/cat plot had a few memorable moments, especially the ending. Steve couldn’t get rid of that cat no matter how hard he tried.
