Plot: At a CIA party, Francine bumps into a female coworker of Stan's who reveals that she shrinks to microscopic size for special missions. When Francine inquires about her the next morning, Stan blows her off, saying that Kara found her insufferable. During a miniaturation operation on Duper, Francine shows up at the lab to make amends and Stan hurriedly injects Kara into himself. Claiming that she had been transferred, Bullock asks why Stan acted that way, and he reveals that Francine always hijacks his friendships. Singing to herself that night, Francine realizes that Stan is also sharing the melody and a closer examination reveals Kara manipulating his vocal cords. When she apologizes, she discovers that Stan lied to her and Kaa needs to get out quickly, although Stan refuses to stir from his sleep. Searching for a bucket of liquid to wake Stan up, she finds out from Klaus that he has repeatedly hidden his friends from her. Worse, that even if she gets him to recognize their friendship, he'll just find another way to make Kara disappear.

Determined to deal with that issue later, she hauls him down to the CIA headquarters and enlists Bullock's help in shrinking herself down. Inside, she finds herself attacked by white blood cells, but is saved by Kara. As she talks things over with Kara, Stan has woken up and is upset with Francine. She refuses his orders to leave immediately, revealing that they're already together. Stan attempts to force them out without success, but when they discover that his brain is full of spiders and come under attack, they have to bail out of Kara's ship and call for help. When he realizes that his first idea of shrinking himself down and injecting himself back into himself won't work, he realizes that the people he needs to complete the mission are the ones that he had hidden from Francine all this time. Despite the death of one of their members, and attacks by the spiders, they succeed in recovering Kara and Francine, along with a baby spider who snuck onto their ship.

Meanwhile, Jeff and Hayley celebrate recovering a wheel from a crashed Lamborghini, imagining it to be their ticket to high society, so Roger decides to tag along. Laughing at their attempt to get into an exclusive club, he is shocked to find out the wheel gets then inside. However, their club night is interrupted when Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson invites them to ride in his helicopter to watch boxing in Atlantic City. They find themselves at dawn, having had the night of their lives. They decide to turn the wheel loose in the ocean to make somebody else's dreams come true, despite Roger revealing that a nearby Lamborghini owner could desperately use a spare tire. The tire is recovered in Portugal, where a trio that bears a strong resemblance to Hayley, Jeff and Roger recover it, believing it to be their ticket to a better life.
