When Steve suffers indignities in school because of his scoliosis (and the corrective brace he has to wear for six weeks because of it), Stan confides with him an embarrassing secret of his own: he's bald and wears a wig. When Steve discovers that he's been lying to him all this time, he overreacts and tries to expose the secret to the rest of the family. Meanwhile, Roger brings both Francine and Hayley to a posh spa, even though he has only two passes, raising the suspicions of the house detective.
