"Haylias" is the fifth episode of the fourth season of the animated television series American Dad!. The episode was first broadcast on the Fox network in the United States on November 11, 2007. "Haylias" was written by David Zuckerman and directed by Brent Woods, with much of the episode’s plot, and title, being parodies of the thriller television series Alias.
In the episode, Stan, worried that Hayley has been taken off the "Path to Happiness", is astonished to hear Hayley has broken up with Jeff, her boyfriend, and plans to leave for Paris. Stan brings Hayley to the airport where he, at impulse, shouts Hayley’s trigger phase ("I’m getting fed up with this orgasm"), activating her into a sleeper agent. Stan then instructs her to wed with the closeted son of another man, who also worries his son has been taken off the "Path to Happiness". Simultaneously, Steve and Roger open a detective agency aptly titled "Wheels and the Legman" after watching reruns of crime drama television programs, but can’t agree on which of the two gets to be the one in the wheelchair and which has to be the "Legman", both being part of the duo’s main gimmick.
Critical response to the episode was mixed, with one critic stating that the episode was able to "out(do) its big brother in terms of plot", but ultimately failed to "bring the laughs enough".[1]
Production
[edit]According to the DVD commentary, the episode was created due to the writing room’s desire to make an episode that played a heavy focus on Stan and Hayley’s relationship, Mike Barker states that those episodes "always come out great".[2]
