A bit of careless driving by Stan leaves Steve leaning out of the car, causing his head to hit a running hare (named Andy). We then see a tortoise is seen mourning approach the now dead hare and cry, saying that he always respected him. The tortoise then decides that he and the hare should finish the race together, so he drags the hare's corpse down the road.

* "Flirting With Disaster" brutally shows the consequences of Roger's shoddy made birdhouses. We get a supposedly cartoony scene of an anthropomorphic family of birds, before the house suddenly begins to fall apart around them, with the husband screaming in horror as support beams crush both his wife and children and he gets engulfed in fire and debris. This alone, in spite of the intentional {{Narm}} is morbid, but then we get a perspective shot from Steve afterwards who finds the broken birdhouse with the corpses of two realistic birds and their crushed eggs.

The episode itself, really, as it ends with [[TheHeroDies Stan and most likely Francine being murdered]] by said sentient hot tub. Even worse, this was written as a [[DownerEnding possible series finale]].

* "The Long March" starts out with a hell of an AdultFear with Hayley being promoted to Assistant Manager at a sandwich shop. It slowly becomes apparent that the job is slowly draining her of her happiness and sanity, and she fears that she will spend the rest of her life stuck at that stressful, monotonous job -- a fear that a misguided Stan cheerfully confirms when he happily tells her that her life will revolve entirely around her employment until the day she dies. He even bluntly tells Hayley that he never really respected or cared about her as a person before she got that job. The fact that Stan [[InnocentlyInsensitive never loses his cheery demeanor despite how depressing his words clearly are]] is just icing on the cake.

* I know that Sergei Kruglov didn't care much about Steve, and he should have. However, I truly feel bad for him. He believed in the Communist Party and was raising his son to be a Communist like him. Then, when Communism fell, his wife, who he loved, left him for a Capitalist, and then his son became the very thing he hated, a CEO, a capitalist. Since Capitalism stole his son, he wanted to steal Stan's son. I can't help but sympathize for him, especially since he honestly believed in the party. Since he believed in the party, he probably believed the lies of corrupt leaders.

At the end of the episode, he sets an explosion to blow up the building and takes a bullet for Jesus which causes him to slowly bleed out internally and with his last words, he apologizes to Francine for his words before she left him, tells her that she deserves happiness with Jesus. He begs Jesus to escape without him unraptured (and to drag a tearful Francine with him) before dying in the exploding building.
