Plot: Steve is seen from below floating in a pool of cherry Jell-o.

The action shifts to a few weeks ago, when Roger was reading Us Weekly and yearning to be a celebrity. Steve Smith tried to trick his father into signing his report card by claiming his teacher wanted Stan's autograph. But Stan doesn't fall for it and learns that Steve is flunking the creative writing class.

To inspire Steve, Stan shows him his Patriot Pigeon children's books. Stan has written over a thousand of them and gotten almost as many rejection letters. Then, Stan sits Steve down at a desk and glues his right hand. At this time, Roger comes in and does something clumsy, inspiring Steve to write about him.

The creative writing teacher sends Steve's story, Roger the Alien, to a publisher. The publisher buys Steve's story and Stan opens the acceptance letter, thinking that Patriot Pigeon Poops on Planned Parenthood has been picked up.

Steve quickly becomes a success, and soon Stan and Francine proceed to use him for their own needs. Distraught, Steve is convinced by his new agent to divorce his parents and moves into a mansion with his best friends. But eventually he comes to distrust his friends too, and kicks them out of the mansion. Steve's agent shows up with Spike Baltar, an actor who will play Steve in the movie.

Meanwhile, Roger opens a shipment of Roger talking dolls and becomes enraged that Steve's book portrays him as clumsy (which is actually an accurate portrayal of Roger). Roger goes to the mansion and attempts to kill Steve, but instead kills Spike Baltar by tossing him into a pool of cherry Jello. In a voiceover, Steve admits the opening scene was a ploy.
