Stan excitedly accepts his jury summons, only to learn that the defendant is one of Roger's personas. As Roger charms the pants off the rest of the court, Stan becomes determined to send him to jail. Meanwhile, now that Jeff and Hayley have moved into the Smith house, Francine tries to get him to kick his pot habit.
Tropes:
- Artistic License – Law: During the jury deliberations, Stan is the only one deciding that "Martin Sugar"/Roger is "Guilty", and refuses to let any of the jurors leave, by using his position of foreman, until they reach a "unanimous decision", despite one of the other jurors pointing out the rest of them all agreeing to rule Roger "Not Guilty", resulting in the jurors eventually breaking down just so they can leave. In court proceedings however, in the event of a jury being unable to reach a unanimous decision, it is the duty of the jury to report such to the judge, upon which a mistrial is usually declared and a new trial is planned. The role of "foreman" offers no particular power over other jurors, they simply speak for the jury when in the courtroom, and Stan's refusal to let the other jurors leave until they agreed with him can be considered jury tampering.
- Caught with Your Pants Down: Francine finds that when he isn't stoned, Jeff has to masturbate constantly.
- Didn't Think This Through: The lengths that Stan goes to in order to prove Roger's guilt actually involves him committing several crimes and he ends up getting arrested.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Stan ends the episode on trial, with Roger as a member of his jury.
- Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Stan lists Brian Griffin as his all-time favorite fictional dog. Brian is then shown standing next to Stan and asking who he is.Stan: Stop pretending I don't exist!
- Only Sane Man: Zig-zagged. Stan is the only person who knows Roger is a piece of shit who deserves to be behind bars, but the lengths he goes to prove it makes him look worse.
- Rogue Juror: Inverted. Stan is the only one who votes guilty and has to threaten the rest of the jury to change their minds.
- Serious Business: Stan treats jury duty as utterly sacred and patriotic.
