While Stan is at dinner with a Senator, about to ask for a premium task force position, Francine calls hysterical that Steve was involved in an armed robbery and arrested. Forced to choose between advancing his career or helping Steve, Stan observes the Senator working on his Blackberry while ignoring his daughter who remained face-down in her food after a drug binge, desperately trying to reach out for her father only for him to move farther away. Stan elects to use his favor to bail Steve out of trouble.
