When Roger vows there is no place on earth they can escape his wrath, they find a way to take the Sanders family place in space although they are unaware of Roger clinging to the outside of the space shuttle. Three days later, Klaus comes up missing and Stan sends Steve to find him. Locating Klaus floating in a washing machine, Klaus tries to warn Steve but it is too late as Roger attacks. Roger sets off alarms on the ship warning the family of his presence and they split up to try to make it to the escape pod. Roger catches Francine and Hayley in the kitchen while Stan flees for the escape pod. Just when Stan thinks he has escaped, he punches a button in the escape pod and Roger's yelp of pain is followed by Stan's capture as well.

When they awaken, they find themselves bound on the shuttle as Roger appears and orders them to roast each other so they can feel the same pain he felt. After a tepid start, the family begins to enjoy themselves to Roger's bewilderment. Revealing they can laugh at themselves and each other because they're so close, they make Roger aware that he is part of the family too.
