Recap / American Dad! S3E16 "When a Stan loves a Woman"

Go To

Stan feels his marriage is on shaky ground after discovering Francine's secret sex garden: Francine planted one rose bush for every man she slept with, and, because of her sexually promiscuous past, she has the biggest sex garden in the country — one that has tour guides and an ancient tribe who has never seen a white man. Francine divorces Stan so Stan can be with another woman and see that sex without love is meaningless. Meanwhile, Steve drinks some of Hayley's Cougar Boost energy drink and begins acting like a meth addict.


Tropes:

  • Never My Fault: Francine is upset at Stan for sleeping with his new wife, even though it's because of her plan that it happened.
  • Open Relationship Failure: Stan gets upset over the fact that Francine had multiple partners before they got married, while she's the only only woman he's ever slept with. Francine tells him that she never loved any of her other men in the same way she loves him, and agrees to a temporary divorce to give him the chance to have some meaningless sex of his own. But when he meets Joanna and they seem to really hit it off, Francine gets paranoid that they'll fall in love and he'll choose Joanna and stay divorced from her. He does, but ultimately goes back to Francine after she interrupts his wedding night with Joanna.
  • Really Gets Around: Francine has slept with enough men to have a sex garden large enough to contain an ancient tribe who has never seen a white man. Because Stan has only ever slept with Francine, this pisses him off to no end.
