“The Hand That Rocks The Rogu” American Dad! S16E20

Steve babysits Roger’s ex-tumor, Rogu, to prove to Francine that he’s ready for the responsibility. Stan and Francine get into trouble in their respective clubs.

Tonight’s story starts in the school cafeteria.  Steve learns that Snot, Berry, and Toshi all can afford the curly fries because they all make extra money by babysitting.

Steve asks Francine if he can do some babysitting, but she says he’s not ready when he doesn’t pick where the strawberry is.  “Whoa!  A strawberry gun”

Steve complains to Roger about this, so Roger let’s Steve babysit Rogu while he goes on some “dates” .  But not without a few ground rules.

Sleep fixes everything.  No candy, no screen time, and don’t let him look at the ant farm.  While Francine goes off to mom club to see the Bazooka Sharks, Steve and Klaus look after Rogu.  Hilarity ensues!
