Stan becomes an honorary firefighter, prompting Francine to become an arsonist in order to help him. Meanwhile, Roger becomes a knife thrower magician.
Tropes:
- Body Horror: Stan gives Francine his firefighting gear when they are trapped in a burning warehouse. His skin is completely burnt off once they leave the building, with Stan letting off a bloodcurdling scream.
- Call-Back: While looking for clues as to who the arsonist is, Stan mentions that they had stints in acting, muffin sales, and once had their vagina displayed in a museum.
- Gilligan Cut: Stan vows to find the arsonist no matter what it takes. It then cuts to him holding a barbecue celebrating the end of his week as an honorary firefighter.
- Last-Second Word Swap: Stan does this in the opening while out with Francine when he notices the fire station open house.Stan: I love you, F-f-f-f-f-f-FIRE STATION OPEN HOUSE!!!
- Look Both Ways: Stan is hit by two cars as he runs across the street to the fire station, but just gets up.
- Nightmare Fetishist: Despite Roger being completely inept at throwing knives, his audience stays to see just how gruesomely he maims his assistant.
- Sarcastic Confession: Stan finds one of Francine's dresses with a torn bottom. She sarcastically admits that she's been tearing them to make Molotov cocktails in order to help Stan's career as a firefighter.
- Self-Deprecation: Out of universe example – one of the houses burnt down by Francine and extinguished by Stan is the Griffin family's house.
- Sherlock Scan: Stan deduces a lot of clues that the arsonist is Francine from the burnt remnants of the barn, even random pieces of debris, but doesn't realize it was her.
