As Hayley's flight is about to leave, the pilot sees the drone, and delays the flight for safety of the passengers. They're soon in over their heads when they discover that what they thought was a video game is actually a military controlled drone. When his friends arrive and realize he has the run of the house, they persuade Steve to break the rules. Steve is left home alone when the family takes a trip to look at a potential college for Hayley. Meanwhile, Steve and Snot compete for the sexual advances of each other's mothers. Stan meets the general and accidentally kills him and has Roger pose as the leader of the small island nation. In order to get a promotion at work, Stan has to convince the dictator of Isla Island to sign a treaty. Mind (Randy Spears), escapes from a mental hospital on a motorcycle. And an amputee mental patient who has psychic powers, named John Q.
Meanwhile, Roger gets a pet bird and badgers Stan into giving him a cable code so he can watch a Barbra Streisand pay-per-view special. The episode parodies Vietnam War movies such as Apocalypse Now, Platoon and Forrest Gump.
Stan teaches Steve that the only way he can truly appreciate the national anthem is by participating in a war re-enactment, but the experience leaves Steve looking and acting like a traumatized Vietnam War veteran. The season premiere, 'In Country…Club', was given generally positive reviews.
