American Dad!

Roger sabotages Steve's friendship with Snot, Barry and Toshi, ultimately significantly ending their bond. Meanwhile, Jeff discovers a knack for house flipping and ropes in Stan, Francine and Hayley to assist with his new ventures as partners in the projects.

Lost Boys is a television programme presented as a single episode. Classified within the episode genre, it delivers its story in a self‑contained format that wraps up the narrative within its runtime. The title hints at youthful mischief, and the episode’s structure focuses on a compact set of events that drive the plot forward. In this instalment, Roger takes decisive action that effectively breaks up Steve’s friendship with three of his mates – Snot, Barry and Toshi. By intervening directly, he ends the bond that had linked Steve to the trio, thereby reshaping the interpersonal dynamics among the group and setting the stage for further developments within the episode. At the same time, Jeff discovers an unexpected flair for house flipping. Realising he has a knack for buying, renovating and reselling properties, he decides to bring his acquaintances – Stan, Francine and Hayley – into the venture. Jeff’s newfound confidence leads him to involve all three in his emerging property‑flipping scheme, expanding the scope of his activities. The episode therefore juxtaposes Roger’s disruptive influence on Steve’s friendships with Jeff’s entrepreneurial initiative. By severing Steve’s ties to Snot, Barry and Toshi and by enlisting Stan, Francine and Hayley in a house‑flipping project, the narrative presents two parallel storylines that run alongside each other. This dual focus drives the episode’s progression and highlights the contrasting motivations of the characters.
