Episode summary

At the CIA fair, Hayley gets into an argument with Director Avery Bullock. Stan believes that this will destroy his chance for a promotion. The next morning, Stan goes to Bullock's house to apologize, but discovers that Bullock slept with Hayley. Stan is against it at first; however, Bullock says that he can get the promotion he wanted. Francine is against the relationship and Stan tries to make a man out of Hayley's ex-boyfriend Jeff (whom Hayley broke-up with because he agrees on everything). Jeff and Hayley get back together, and Hayley breaks-up with Bullock. He then tells Stan to kill Jeff and when they go to the woods to do it, Jeff takes their SUV. At a diner, Bullock calls Hayley a slut, which offends Stan, and the two CIA men get into a lengthy fist-fight (with some audio-commentary from Klaus). Bullock then claims that this was all a test to see if Stan would stand up for his nation and family, stating he will give him the promotion. A promotion is the advancement of rank or position in an organizational hierarchy system. ...
