Stan's war room is set up across the street from Clooney's hotel. It has been arranged that Stan will be Clooney's body guard and Francine will be trained by Sergei Petcov to get inside Clooney's head and resist his charm.

The foster children dig away at the soil in the pool and Roger denies them a water break. Steve is tired of sharing the house with all the foster kids, but Roger assigns him two beautiful girls to be his personal assistant. The phone rings and it's the doctor for Hayley with her test results.

Stan enters Clooney's trailer and says he's his new body guard. But Clooney says he doesn't need him, just his "boys." Clooney tells the guys that he bought them new motorcycles and they drive them off. Stan follows them in a semi-truck. He forces them into a cargo box and ships them over seas.

On set, Clooney finds out Stan sent his friends to China. He believes that it was a practical joke and says that Stan is now one of his "boys."

At the top of the hill, Francine blinds Stan with blood from her severed wrist. Stan crashes his bike and slides over a cliff.

Stan holds on as best he can, and demands to know what all of this was about. Francine tells him that no one depends on Clooney all the time, like the Smiths do on her. Stan tells her that while no one depends on Clooney, Francine has a family who loves her and does depend on her.
