Plot:
Spurious Oktoberfest

When the family gets too drunk to drive home after Oktoberfest, they call Klaus rather than allow Roger to drive them. When he demands to know why they won't ride with him, they bring in their insurance adjuster, who explains that he's had too many accidents. Klaus offers to teach him to drive, but he ends up wrecking his truck. Inviting the family out for pizza, he notes that while the family has forbidden him to drive on Earth, they haven't forbidden him to drive in space. He reveals that the pizza restaurant is actually a spaceship and he takes off with them, attempting to prove that if he can drive a spaceship, he should have no problem driving a car back on Earth. However, he manages to collide with a Tesla that was launched into space and knocks them off course. In his attempt to get back to Earth, he fails to make the correct planetary slingshot maneuver twice, leaving them without sufficient fuel. Even worse, they discover that their current speed will get them back to Earth in seven years. Resigned to spend the next seven years in space, they find another restaurant docking with them that reveals a future Roger.

The Fast and the Spurious

The new Roger reveals that he's from three days in the future, where the family has already died. In order to avoid this fate, Future Roger insists that they have to do a slingshot maneuver around the sun. However, Steve gives Prime Roger his journal, which as actually Future Roger's, where he discovers that he has gone sun mad, and he's going to use their spaceship to crash into the sun. Future Roger manages to pitch his journal containing his plan into his old spaceship and set it free, and convinces the family to allow him to try his slingshot maneuver without telling them his plans, although they discover almost too late his intentions. The two Rogers engage in a battle of wits, with Prime Roger eventually coming out on top and ejecting Future Roger out of the ship, where he's knocked out into space by the still-orbiting Tesla. With their only hope of getting home, the family allows Roger to try his slingshot maneuver, which he succeeds in performing this time. As a result, the family agrees to allow him to drive them home after the next Oktoberfest, but he turns them down after realizing that he has to stay sober for a second year in a row.

Meanwhile, believing the family to be dead, Klaus and Jeff find solace in each other, but Klaus soon starts to drop hints about them having sex. Jeff is resistant at first, but eventually gives in. But before they can engage in their relationship, they are interrupted by the insurance agent's backup singers.
