Episode 1: "We just got here in a flying house. What else do you think can surprise us?" – Hank Hill

The episode starts off in the early autumn at a two-story house in an eerie forest. A figure is shown walking through a back door and upon closing the door it vanishes. The figure sits in an armchair in a small secret room in the house and turns on a small TV monitor that`s mounted on a wall nearby. Several cars are then shown driving down a gravel road to the house. The mysterious person narrates that 26 people are about to start a journey of a lifetime and don't even know it.

The first car to pull up at the house has Homer Simpson, Marge Simpson, Lisa Simpson and Bart Simpson all come out. Marge looks at the house and asks Homer if this is the right place. Before Homer can respond another car pulls in and nearly hits the Simpson's car. Peter Griffin steps out and Homer calls him an idiot driver. Peter sarcastically apologizes (believing he did nothing wrong) when the car door swings open and hits Bart in the face as Peters kids Meg, Chris and Stewie all come out followed by Peters wife Lois and friend Quagmire. As someone else steps out of the car, Lois tries to help Marge ease the tension that is going on with the 2 men but the Griffins replacement dog Vinny comes out and ends up calming the duo down. Just then, another car pulls up and Cleveland and Donna Brown-Tubbs step out. Cleveland says this place doesn't look right for a party as his step daughter Roberta comes out of the car last, who didn't want to come here in the first place. Homer gets upset when he discovers that Cleveland and Peter are close friends. When he sees the next car arrive, he tells Peter that his friends have all shown up. The car door opens and Bob Belcher comes out of the car looking a bit weary. He gets startled when Homer walks up to him and gives him a hug while calling him an "old pal". Bobs wife Linda, is two daughters Tina and Louise and his son Gene all come out and get surprised that Bob got hugged by a complete stranger. After Homer leaves Bob tells Linda that they should probably just leave now but Linda tells Bob that he should stay because it's going to be a fun party. While she said that another car pulled up and three more people come out. They are Tammy Holtz (Tina`s nemesis), Teddy Francisco (Bobs regular customer at the restaurant) and Gayle Mullally (Linda`s sister). Tammy angrily asks Linda how she and Gayle can be related since her sister drove her crazy with her non-stop talk about her cats throughout the whole drive. While Linda talks to Tammy and Chris starts to have a conversation with Gene, the next car arrives at the house. The people who get out are Hank Hill, Peggy Hill, Bobby Hill and their neighbor Connie. Hank asks if this is the party location and Teddy says he feels 99% that this is the place.

Peggy feels skeptical as all 26 people enter the house. Inside they find the food set out but no one at home. Bob and Hank both start to check out the house while the rest party. While the check they both recall that the invitations that invite them and their families to a party at the house did not have a return address or even the name of the person who invited them. While they check around, Teddy meets with Homer at the punch bowl and randomly starts to talk about how he ironed his shirt with pointless details. Homer gets so bored that he falls face first into the punch bowl asleep. Lois sees this and tells Donna that she thinks Homer is a moron. Gene tries to impress Lisa and Connie with his keyboard sounds he recorded but the girls get grossed out when they discover 80% of the sounds are fart noises. As the two girls leave, Lisa discovers that Meg is sitting alone in the corner looking very shy. Lisa suspects Meg doesn't seem to have any friends and decides to go to talk to her when Peggy accidently bumps into her and spills soda all over her shirt. Lisa rushes to the bathroom to clean it, forgetting about Meg for the moment. While Lisa goes to the bathroom Bart talks to Louise about a prank he pulled on his principal Skinner. Louise tells Bart about a prank she pulled on her guidance counselor Mr. Frond and the two laugh hard. Bart tells Louise he really is starting to like her.

Meanwhile Hank and Bob meet up together in the houses foyer and share information on what they found out about the house. Hank says the basement and back door to the house are locked tight and Bob says the rooms on the second floor are also locked. Vinny suddenly walks up to them and says he`s hearing weird noises in the walls that sound like something electrical. While he says this, Stewie can be seen in the background grabbing a knife from the table and throwing it at Lois while her back is turned and misses but no one notices. Hank suddenly spots Quagmire stare at Peggy and take a photo of her with his smart phone and lovingly admire it. Hank angrily walks to Quagmire and pins him against the wall. As he openly yells at Quagmire about what he did and that he should stay away from his wife for his own good (which surprises Peggy on what happened) everyone hears a very loud clicking noise. Tina walks the front door and panics when it won't open. Suddenly a voice on a hidden public announcement system speaks out and tells everyone may have been recruited and should probably hold onto something.

The house suddenly rises from the ground and it's revealed that it has rockets on it like a rocket ship. In the secret room the figure hits a button on the remote control and the house rockets up in the air. Everyone runs around panicking and in the chaos Chris tells Vinny he always felt his name was stupid which really annoys Vinny. Peter tries to break a window with a chair but ends up hurting his foot while Tina tells Tammy she never really liked her at all, which Tammy doesn't seem to find surprising. The house finally stops rocketing up after a few minutes and Hank demands to know what's going on. Suddenly a secret doorway to the secret room in the house appears out of nowhere in the wall and Calvin Fishoeder steps out.

Bob identifies him for everyone and asked Calvin was going on. Calvin explains by asking how everyone got to the "house party" and Cleveland reveals that the Fox network had a contest asking families to send in tapes for a wild autumn party that the network executives would personally host. He says everyone here probably was declared a winner and they came to the house for it. Calvin tells everyone it was really an audition to see who would be perfect for all new reality show that is similar to Survivor. Most of the 26 are resistance to this since they got a fright of their lives from the house rocket moment but when Calvin says that the grand prize will be 5 million dollars, tax-free this makes everyone excited and they all decide to compete. Calvin explains that the house is now flying to their first challenge as they speak and tells them some game rules. He says every episode someone will get voted out of the game was the first two eliminations being different. He says there are video confessionals hidden all over the house where players can reveal hidden secrets and desires about the game or themselves. Quagmire says this will be more fun than something sexual he once did which makes Hank yell at him to shut up or he`ll report him to the FCC. In the confessional, Hank says what a wild day it's been. He says he got sent up in the air in the flying house and he stuck on a game show with a guy he really hates. Quagmire is seen in another confessional, saying that Hank is too uptight and that he needs to learn to relax.

As the house lands at its first challenge site, Calvin tells the players that they will be doing a surprise vote right now. Peter looks out a window and sees that the house is at the base of a tall waterfall hill. Calvin says the vote will hinder someone's game at the first challenge. The first challenge will be to climb up the steep waterfall hill to the very top at the finish. The players had better move fast because the last contestant to get to the top will be the first person eliminated from the game. Also, the first player to the top gets to pick the future colors for the 3 teams that will later form as the show moves on. Whoever arrives 2nd to last at the top will also get something. He tells the players that the vote they will do will set a player back for 5 minutes while the others start way ahead of them. Calvin gives everyone a small chalkboard and a piece of chalk and tells them to write someone's name down. All 26 players write a name and Calvin starts to check the results.

Meg gets shocked that she got the most votes and tries not to cry, which makes Peter call Meg a weakling. Marge gets surprised by what Peter said to his own daughter. Calvin tells the players they can use anything they find in the house to help them climb and that they can get started any time they want to. Everyone wildly scrabbles to get started and during the chaos, Calvin tells Meg he`ll let her know when the penalty is up and points to a cookie jar on the kitchen counter, telling her to help herself to what`s inside it.

Most of the contestants run out and start to climb the hill bare handed while a few stay behind for supplies. Outside, Lisa notices how high the cliff is and stays back trying to come up with a strategy. Stewie comes up and asks her what she`s doing and Lisa tells him that she thinks a 2 person team climbing the mountain would be safer, quicker and easier. Stewie thanks Lisa for the idea and runs over to Vinny where he hops onto his back and tells him that the 2 can ride each other to the top. Vinny tells Stewie that he`s unsure of this idea but Stewie tells Vinny that he and Brian used to do this all the time. In the house, Hank, Peggy and Bobby take some curtain rope and say it`ll help them get to the top. When Hank sees Cleveland, Donna and Roberta copy his strategy at the base of the hill while he and his family start climbing, Hank says in a confessional how bothered he is that Cleveland stole his idea.

In the kitchen and in the house alone, Meg opens the cookie jar and to her surprise, she finds a clue to a hidden immunity idol that is hidden somewhere in the house. Meg decides to keep the clue for herself and hides it in her hat. Calvin suddenly comes in and tells Meg that her penalty is up and she can start the challenge. When Meg goes out, she sees Lisa waiting outside for her. Lisa tells Meg that she has a plan to get to the top that requires two people and she thinks that Meg would be the best option for her to team up with. Desperate to make up the lost time, Meg takes the offer. At the same time, while Chris is climbing he ends up going with Gayle who starts to irritate Chris with her fear of heights. Chris pats Gayle in the back to try to cheer her up but Gayle panics at this and slaps Chris hard in the face. In a confessional, Chris says Gayle is clearly a bad person to align with.

Meanwhile, Marge talks to Linda about what Peter called Meg and is shocked that her whole family voted against her. Linda says her guess is the competition has already made the Griffins go crazy. Connie, Vinny, Stewie and Bart all near the top. Vinny gets very tired and sweaty from carrying Stewie up most of the mountain yet Stewie keeps pulling Vinnys ear hard and keeps yelling at him to move it. Vinny angrily tells Stewie he has physical limits and Stewie responds by pinching one of Vinnys nipples as hard as he can. In the fiasco, Vinny starts to lose his footing and nearly falls from the top of the waterfall until Connie, who`s nearby, runs up and saves them. Vinny and Stewie thank her while Connie just nods and keeps climbing up.

Simultaneously, the Hills and Brown-Tubbs family are both fighting to keep ahead of each other while the Belcher family and Marge near the halfway point. Gene suddenly loses his grip and slides all the way down to the waters below to his family's horror. However, Gene emerges and reveals he survived unharmed. The Brown-Tubbs family's rope suddenly gets stuck in between a rock. Cleveland finds a sharp rock and starts to saw at the part of the rope that is stuck. His idea sends him and Donna down into the water below with Gene and when they emerge, Donna yells at Roberta to keep climbing and they`ll meet her at the top. Roberta moves on while Cleveland and Donna decide to check the house for climbing supplies.

Meanwhile, Connie ends up getting to the top first followed by Vinny and Stewie, with Vinny collapsing from exhaustion upon reaching the top. Calvin arrives in a helicopter and congratulates Connie for getting to the top first. He pulls out a small book with paint colors and a marker and tells her to look through and pick three colors. He also tells Stewie and Vinny they made it before shouting down below to everyone else that people already made it to the top and that they should move quicker. Bart suddenly makes it covered in leaves, saying he fell face first into a shrub. Meanwhile, Tammy ends up climbing with the Belchers and Teddy and this really irritates Tina. In the confessional, Tina says that if Tammy were the first to go she would be very happy. Bob looks down and sees Gene go into the house to find supplies. He tells Linda that he would really like to see some of his family win the game and the prize money. Linda looks down and sees Chris and Gayle. Linda waves to them and Chris and Gayle wave back while Chris mouths, "Help me", to the Belchers.

By then Hank, Bobby and Peggy catch up with the Belchers, Tammy and Teddy and Quagmire not that far behind. While Meg and Lisa make progress up the mountain together, Roberta gets to the finish line next. As the 2 girls climb, they get to Marge and Homer with Homer being very tired. Lisa introduces Meg to her mom and when she calls Meg her friend, Meg feels surprised with Lisa`s generosity. The 4 team up and climb together and soon meet up with Peter and Lois. While the rest climb ahead, Marge and Lois fall back a little. Marge asks Lois why her whole family voted against one of their own and Lois says that Meg is such a misfit and a looser, saying she doesn't think it matters how far she gets in the game, surprising Marge with her response. Down at the house, Cleveland, Donna and Gene all team up and start searching for useful supplies. Gene opens a closet and finds a high powered confetti launcher. He excitedly tells Cleveland and Donna they can use it to blast themselves to the top. Donna thinks that idea is just plain stupid but Cleveland says it`s worth a try and the 3 start to haul it out.

While this goes on, Hank, Peggy and Bobby all get to the top as Connie picks all 3 colors. The trio celebrate their win as Bob, Linda, Louise, Tina, Teddy, Tammy and Quagmire all make it up. Quagmire thanks Peggy for her motivation that got him climbing to the top. When Peggy asks what he means by motivation, Quagmire says he stared at Peggy's butt all the way to the top while he climbed. Infuriated, Hank and Peggy grab Quagmire and hold him on the edge of the waterfall, telling him he has 5 seconds to convince they why he shouldn't get dropped all the way down to the bottom. Quagmire can only say, "Giggity" over and over again before he gets thrown down the falls. However, Chris catches him as he and Gayle near the top. The trio get to the top and Quagmire keeps his distance from the Hills while Gayle starts blabbing to Chris on how exciting the climb up has been. Chris gets so pestered by this he runs off screaming. While Cleveland, Donna and Gene have a hard time adjusting their confetti cannon down below, Peter bumps into Homer hard and almost makes him fall off. This makes Homer call Peter an idiot which soon grows into an argument as the 2 men keep climbing. Lois, Marge, Meg and Lisa all make it to the top and a few minutes later, Peter and Homer arrive as well. The 2 fall atop each other very exhausted and both agree this fight is far from over.

Calvin announces only Donna, Cleveland and Gene did not show up when everyone hears a cannon blast and Donna crash lands at the top of the waterfall hill covered in confetti. Down below, Gene and Cleveland high- five their success and Gene is about to go next when Calvin announces that only Gene and Cleveland didn't get to the top yet and one of they will be the first person eliminated from the game. This suddenly causes a shoving match to take place with Gene and Cleveland to get into the confetti cannon. In the struggle, both get blasted to the top of the mountain and land 4 yards from the finish line. Cleveland and Gene both start crawling for the finish desperately while the other 24 contestants all wildly cheer for one or the other. Cleveland clearly takes the lead but suddenly cuts himself on a rock and stops from the pain making Gene pass both him and the finish line.

Calvin tells Cleveland that he came in last place to the finish and lost the game. Donna and Roberta hug Cleveland goodbye and Cleveland boards the helicopter and is flown away. Calvin then tells the 25 remaining contestants to follow him into a forest. As they walk, Meg thanks Lisa for help and in a confessional, feels that having Lisa in an alliance would actually be very useful. Donna keeps giving Gene a dirty look making Gene walk faster out of fear. The 25 get to a makeshift train station and see a train with 3 cabooses attached to it. Calvin tells the players the train will take them to their next challenge and that Gene will get something for coming 2nd to last in todays challenge making Gene nervous again. He also tells the players that the 3 colors Connie picked were Salsa Red, Misty Green Emerald and Niagara Jade Blue which will be an impact in the next challenge and the 3 future teams.

The contestants board the train and it goes off while Calvin makes his way back to the house and blasts off with it to the next destination. In a confessional that night on the train, Louise says that she will make a powerhouse alliance to help her get to the end of the game and is ready to kick butt now while Marge says she`s going to start to keep an eye on Peter and Lois`s parenting skills before the episode ends.

Idol Clue: "To find something you lost, you look high and low. To find the immunity idol, you only have to look high."
