Bullock offers him several solutions, and gives Stan the idea to have Francine temporarily committed to a Psychiatric Hospital to buy himself some time. As Francine waits outside of their home, suspicious of Stan watching her from across the street, a van pulls up and carries her off. At the mall searching for a gift for Francine, Stan goes on a shopping spree for himself, getting a call three days later at work that the hospital is ready to release her.
