Recap / American Dad S 8 E 8 The Unbrave One

Go To

After being branded a coward by Stan for not helping him during a movie theater fight, Steve takes Roger's advice and dresses up as a superhero, but the plan goes pearshape when Roger is the one who reveals that he's Langley Falls' local crimefighter. Meanwhile, Francine worries over being pregnant and gets dubious advice from an Internet physician known as "Dr. Vadgers".

Episode Tropes:

  • But We Used a Condom!: Stan was frightened at the thought of Francine getting pregnant as he had a vasectomy, but the latter shows him the letters from the clinic admitting they messed up on the procedure.
  • Call-Back:
    • The events of "Iced, Iced Babies!" are referenced here, more specifically, that Stan got a vasectomy at a Japanese owned clinic for the procedure. And apparently they botched it, based on the warning letters Francine has received.
    • A memorial of the bush crash in "100 A.D." is shown.
  • Crossover Punchline: The end credits reveals Dr. Vadgers is none other than Glenn Quagmire.
    Quagmire: Giggity.
  • Hourglass Plot: Back in "Iced, Iced Babies!", Francine was the one who wanted to have another child while Stan was against it. Here, Stan is the one who seems more willing to have another baby while Francine is not.
  • Pregnancy Scare: Francine's plot in the episode is fretting over being pregnant and doing everything to see if she is or isn't. She isn't, and celebrates by scarfing down sushi and downing a bottle of alcohol.
