Plot

After receiving a hefty bonus from work, Stan buys extravagant gadgets, such as a large Flavor Flav clock to wear around his neck,and also a rocket boot while Francine pleads for her dream kiosk (having had sex with celebrities to get them to fund her). Upset about his lack of support, Francine opens a muffin shop without his approval and gives Stan a taste of life without a housewife. In a desperate move, Stan puts Klaus' brain back into a human body (that of the front man of an Earth, Wind & Fire cover band), thinking that Klaus will cook breakfast for him – only to discover it was a huge mistake as Klaus takes him hostage and sets out to win over Francine. Meanwhile, Steve is convinced he's a teen wolf after watching a horror film and getting attacked by a wolf who seems to like Francine's muffins. William Jonathan Drayton, Jr. ... Earth, Wind & Fire is a world-renowned American band which fuses different genres of music, formed in Chicago, Illinois, in 1969 and is led and founded by Maurice White. ...

In actuality, Roger adopted the same wolf from the woods, named it "Felicity" and, in the night, it killed a dog and covered Steve's room with blood. In the night, Steve and his friends go into the woods for his friends to kill him with a silver bullet; the actual wolf shows up and, in a confusing situation, they wind up thinking a silver bullet restored Steve to his normal self. Meanwhile, Klaus, after some quick preparations, seduces Francine at the mall before Stan arrives, revealing the ruse; but an eco-terrorist friend of Hayley (who believes he's a plant) sets off a series of bombs, blowing up a statue in the mall. Klaus dives out of the way to protect his new body; Stan, however, pushes Francine out of the way, but the statue piece hits his clock necklace; Klaus' body is half-crushed, and his brain is transferred back into a fish to save him. Roger the Alien (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) is one of the main characters in the animated comedy American Dad!.

Cultural References

• The title is a reference to Dances with Wolves, a 1990 Kevin Costner film.
• In a flashback scene, Francine gets out of a bed that's occupied by the members of Dexy's Midnight Runners. They mistakenly believe her name to be Eileen, and the lead singer begins to write a song, humming Dexy's Midnight Runners signature tune, "Come on Eileen", thus giving a rather raunchy origin to that particular song. This could be a reference to the movie Clerks, where, in one scene, the character Randall reads off a bunch of porno titles, one of them being "Cum on Eileen".
• The film Steve and his friends see is titled "The Soiling", a direct reference to The Howling.
• The part where Roger is waiting for seamonkeys to be born and then puts champagn into their tank, is likely a reference to the South Park episode Simpsons Already Did It which involved a similar theme.
• The song played during the Klaus exploiting his new body montage is "September" by Earth, Wind & Fire. Before, Stan tells Klaus the body belonged to the lead singer of an Earth, Wind & Fire Cover Band.
• Public Enemy's song, "911 Is A Joke" plays when Stan has the Flava Flav clock on. Oddly enough, this is an unusually liberal song for Stan to be listening to.
• The tune played in the scene where Stan is trying to find a parking space is an instrumental remix of "Been There, Done That" by Dr. Dre.

Notes

• The shop in the first scene that everyone is standing by is called "EXPENSIVE N USELESS"
• When Stan shows the family the robot frog he purchased, he is actually speaking Mandarin Chinese to it, not Taiwanese as he claims.
• While Roger waits for his sea monkeys to be born, there's a sign "Maternity Ward" pasted on the wall.
• This is the only episode in the series that has 5 separate stories of equal weight, i.e. everyone in the family has a story line: Stan has a $20,000 bonus; Francine has a muffin kiosk; Steve thinks he's a werewolf; Hayley joins a group of eco-terrorists; Roger brings home a wolf from the woods; Klaus gets a human body.
• On the DVD the same headline appears as in the previous episode "Rough Trade".
