Roger then decides to use Steve in a scam to make money. Despite this, along with many similar misinterpretations, the crack dealers see Steve's skills in chemistry can be used to make cocaine for which they reward Steve with large amounts of cash. "Lavate las manos", as the incantation for a spell, when he hears his supposed "potions partner" say it. Nevertheless, Steve is convinced it is Hogwarts disguised by a cloaking charm and that the crack dealers are his professors. Roger directs him to an old shack to embarrass him, only to discover it is actually a crack house. Meanwhile, for petty revenge after Steve starts gloating of how special he is, Roger convinces Steve that he has been accepted to Hogwarts. When Stan asks Brett if he still plays golf, Brett notes that he's a Satanist, not a poor person. Although initially appalled by this, Stan decides to make good on his word to God and proudly walks off with his friend. At first Stan believes Brett may have suffered a hallucination but Brett presents a goat head guitar which he plays like a heavy metal star. When Brett does regain consciousness, Brett claims he had a near-death experience and met God declaring he now sees there really is a God however, Brett then says God rejected his entrance into Heaven on account of Brett's attempted suicide and that Satan promised to revive Brett if he helped spread the word of the Devil. He just barely makes it out alive and, while he is in a coma at the hospital, Stan prays to God that if He brings Brett back, he will accept Brett's views the way they are. However, after Stan ruins everything Brett lived for blowing up his house, spreading the bird flu at his restaurant, brainwashing his wife to think she's a lesbian and take the kids away, Brett attempts to commit suicide by jumping off a building. After hearing this, Stan decides to make Brett's life miserable since people tend to look to God for guidance during a crisis. To end his depression, Francine brings over a priest who says that people often turn to God in a time of need. These attempts fail which depresses Stan. Not wanting Brett's soul to burn in Hell due to his system of beliefs, Stan tries to make Brett convert by showing him things he considers proof of God such as Kurt Russell's career, a woman in labor, a sunset and a rotting whale. Any attempts to convince Brett about God's existence only sour the relationship.
However, their perfect friendship hits a snag when Stan discovers that Brett does not believe in God. They share many interests including paddleboating, boxing and even get tested for AIDS together. After praying for a friend, he meets Brett Morris, another ultra-conservative who is virtually identical to Stan. Stan realizes that he has no one to hang out with.
