Template:Infobox American Dad! episode Rapture's Delight (originally known as Holy Crapture) is the ninth episode of the fifth season of American Dad!. It is set to air on December 13, 2009 on Fox. This is the last episode of the series to air in 4:3 analogue. Starting with "Don't Look a Smith Horse in the Mouth," American Dad will air exclusively in 16:9 high-definition.

Plot

Stan is upset when he can't find his family a good seat for a Christmas Day church service, but that proves to be the least of his worries when Stan discovers that he, Roger, and Francine are among those left on Earth when everyone ascends into Heaven as part of the Biblical end of days. Francine becomes upset when Stan cares more about ascending into heaven than being with her and leaves him; she soon meets Jesus Christ and becomes his girlfriend.

Seven years pass and the world is shown to be a wasteland, brought on by the war between Jesus and The Anti-Christ. Jesus meets with Stan (who lost a hand) and convinces him to help him to rescue Francine, who has recently been captured by the Anti-Christ. On their mission they meet up with Roger, who for the past seven years has been trying to repair his spaceship to return to his home planet. They use the golden turd to power the ship, which they use to reach the anti christ's lair. After a drawn-out battle Stan is shot by the anti christ by taking a bullet meant for Jesus. Stan then activates a bomb to destroy the lair and end the war once and for all. Francine tries to rescue him but the bomb would soon go off and Stan asks her to leave. Stan dies in the explosion, then is seen in heaven, guided to his "personalized heaven"; Stan enters his home just as in the beginning of the episode, the only difference being Klaus' body hanging on the wall.

Notes

Michelle, the angel from The Most Adequate Christmas Ever returns, but Stan makes no mention of knowing who she is and there are no llusions to the previous episode.
The Anti-Christ has taken the United Nations Building in New York as his lair and chained Francine to an upside-down depiction of the Nativity with her in the manger.
The episode uses a highly stylized comic book animation. similar to that of Heavy Metal magazine.
We learn the ultimate destiny of Roger's golden turd from previous episodes; it becomes the fuel source which powers his intersteller space ship.
The Antichrist in this depiction bears a strong resemblance to DC Comics supervillian and Batman foe The Riddler (most recognizeably Frank Gorshin's portrayal in the 1960s TV series)
