Release Date: November 24, 2013

Francine's Chinese parents come to visit for Thanksgiving, prompting Stan to do what he can to kick them out, as their visit cuts into his football-watching time. Meanwhile, Mama tries to set Hayley (who's still depressed over Jeff being abducted by aliens) up with a new boyfriend.


Tropes

  • Bad Liar: Stan fakes being ill with the bird flu, but Mah Mah is able to tell because he wrote "bird flu" on an Arby's receipt.
  • Epic Fail: Stan tries to scare away his Chinese in-laws by dressing up as Godzilla... only to accidentally set himself on fire.
    Mah Mah Ling: (after dousing Stan out with plant water) Godzilla Japanese.
  • Hopeless Suitor: Mama attempts to steal a potential suitor from Hayley, giving no thought to her own husband in the process, but simply ends up humiliating herself with bad makeup and her aggressiveness. In the end, she runs off crying when it's clear Wang Bai has no interest in her; it's also clear everyone is embarrassed by her behavior.
  • Threat Backfire: Stan pretends to be the ghost of Genghis Khan to terrorize Mah Mah and Bah Bah, but they tell him they view Khan as honorary instead of scary.
    Stan: Francine, I bought a horse.
