What Season 12 of American Dad!

Season 12 takes the surrealism to a new level, and what starts out as something normal quickly spirals out of control. Stan juggles his secret CIA missions with keeping order in a house full of political and personal clashes. Hayley dyes her hair blonde so people will listen when she talks about charity, and Stan and Steve look for a new house. The arrival of Gwen, Francine's troublesome sister, uncovers a secret from Francine's past. Roger wants to make money by turning the house into a motel, while Steve tries to move out by making cooking videos online. Stan, tired of his responsibilities, wishes for a Christmas wish to trade his life for that of Principal Lewis.
