Plot: Without warning, terrorists kill everyone except Francine and Klaus. Klaus manages to save her and reveals his true name to be Professor Max Hammer, where he takes her to a secret room where scientists give him a sleek car and fit him with a robotic body. After escaping Mexican vampires, Klaus drives the sports car into the ocean, where it transforms into a submarine and they discover the lost city of Atlantis, and Francine suddenly turns herself into a lagre-breasted mermaid. Klaus and Francine move in to kiss, but it is revealed to be Klaus' daydream.

Steve's high opinion of his dad's intelligence is shattered when he receives a failing grade on a presentation on fossils that Stan helped him with. As a result, he is convinced by Roger that they can manipulate Stan for whatever they want. After repeatedly mocking his stupidity, Steve is grounded by Stan for disrespect.

Steve and Roger leave home for New York City, where they think their intelligence will allow them to make it big. Francine worries about Steve, but is mislead to believe that they are actually just hiding out in the tree house; Stan thinks that they should wait for Steve to come and apologize. However, during a thunderstorm, lightning hits the treehouse and destroys it, which causes everyone to think that Steve and Roger have died.

In New York, Steve and Roger's dreams do not pan out. Steve tries to get a job writing sketch comedy, but is rejected by Jon Stewart. Roger claims to be an expert in trading stocks, but loses all their money on the New York Stock Exchange, which he had mistook for the Hollywood Stock Exchange. The two soon find themselves on the street, with Steve as a prostitute. Beauregard LaFeyettane, who Roger and Steve had met earlier when they arrived in the city, hires Steve, not for sex, but to ridicule Steve's intelligence. When Beauregard insults Stan, Steve realizes that he had made a mistake about his father, attacks Beauregard, and uses his money for tickets back home for himself and Roger.

Meanwhile, Steve's family, wrought in despair over their son and brother's death, decide to use his college money and sell his belongings in order to finance vacations and purchases so that they could feel better.
