''From which pulpit the sermon comes''

[bellino-angelo2014 · 7/10 · 14 February 2021]

In this episode Steve discovers that he has scoliosis and he has to wear a back brace for two months and of course he can't stand it. Stan gives him some advice and he says precisely ''it's the inside that counts''. After a tough day at school, Steve makes a shocking discovery: Stan is bald. Which makes Steve doubt of his father's advice. Stan then explains Steve that he had a problem with acne and he tried everything possible for getting rid of it but only before going to college he found a new acme treatment that cured him. Unfortunately, there was its collateral effect: losing lots of hair leaving him forever bald. Only after a long chase in the desert they will finally patch things up. In the meanwhile Haley, Francine and Roger go to a spa despite having only two passes (and Roger will hide in some very funny ways).

I liked mostly the spa sections in the episode as I doubted about Stan's morality in reassuring his son since it made Steve rush to the spa and telling Francine the truth. However it had its moments.

The One Where Steve Has Scoliosis...

I really enjoy this episode. In it, Steve finds out that he has scoliosis and has to wear a back brace, for six weeks. And he is really upset about it. But Stan gives him some advice. That it's what's on the inside that counts, but Steve is still nervous. When Steve arrives home early, he discovers that Stan is actually bald. Which kind of puts a dent in Stan's "it's what's on the inside that counts" line. Stan explains to Steve that when he was a teenager, he had a lot of acne. Like a whole lot. And that he was teased and ridiculed for it. He tried everything to get rid of the acne. Every idea out there. Including Satanic rituals. Which is really weird, I might add. However, before Stan went to college, he took an experimental acne treatment which cures him. Unfortunately, on the second day of college, the side of effect reared its ugly head. Loss of hair. Leaving Stan, forever bald. I love this episode because it turns out that Stan is bald. Which is funny, because he always says and implies that he's perfect. Overall, I give this episode an eight out ten.
