Stan of Arabia: Part 2 is the 13th episode of the animated series American Dad!, and the conclusion to "Stan of Arabia: Part 1". This episode originally aired on November 13, 2005. The title, and much of the episode, is a parody of the movie Lawrence of Arabia. Production code 1AJN013.
In Part 1, Stan found himself enjoying the male-dominated society of Saudi Arabia, while the rest of his family suffered.
Hayley finds a soul mate in a would-be terrorist who agrees with her political opinions; however, it turns out he simply pretends to be a terrorist to make American girls have sex with him. Roger is married to a wealthy man but delays having sex with him by telling him stories of American TV shows from the '90s, in a parody of 1001 Arabian Nights.
Trapped in the middle of the desert, Steve has a vision of God, in the guise of Angelina Jolie. His message is at first applauded by the Saudis, but when he declares that God is a woman they turn on him. Francine expresses her anger at Stan and Saudi Arabia in general with a song-and-dance number. Steve and Francine are arrested and sent before a Islamic court of law, where Stan asks pretends to be a homosexual in order to join his family in the public execution. George W. Bush personally shows up to rescue the family, and bring freedom and democracy to Saudi Arabia, but it turns out it was just Stan's fantasy.
In the end, Roger manages to arrange his family is released (see deus ex machina), but apparently he had to sex with his powerful "husband;" who may have a small penis, and this plays on the ambigious gender identity of Roger. As the family steps off the plan in America, Roger faces the camera and reminds the audience that what happens in Saudi Arabia, stays in Saudi Arabia, an obvious pun on the saying, "What happens in Las Vegas, stays in Las Vegas."
