* WackyParentSeriousChild: As usual, Randy acts like a complete moron, thinking his alcoholism is a disease that can only be cured by a higher power, continuing to drink, shaving his hair and sitting in grandpa Marsh's spare wheelchair. Meanwhile, [[ParentalSubstitute Stan is the one parenting him]]. He calls his out on his behavior, but eventually Randy forces him to drive them both to the Virgin Mary statue and push his wheelchair. Randy thinks the statue cured him, but after it is revealed the statue doesn't bring miracles, Randy thinks he wasn't cured and starts drinking again. Luckily, Stan points out that this whole time, Randy stopped drinking by himself, which convinces Randy that he can control his impulses.
