### Italy

In Italy, Cleveland must choose between Rallo and Jr. as his mob family's successor when he faces trial for murder and racketeering. When Cleveland chooses Rallo over Junior, Junior appeals to his father and kills Holt to prove he has what it takes to lead the family mob. When Cleveland tells him to settle things with his brother, he plants a bomb in Rallo's big wheel but Walt is accidentally killed instead. In revenge, Rallo drowns Larry the Leopard in the bathtub. When the boys take their argument to Cleveland, he tells them both to get into the car and to their horror takes them into the woods.

### Japan

Lastly in Japan, Cleveland wants to bring more honor to his family so he announces his intention to work an extra eight hours at the office. But when he is reminded of Junior's eating contest and would lose honor if he misses it, he builds a robot to attend Junior's eating competition and goes to work. At the contest, Junior wins and is happy to see his dad, but becomes disappointed when he discovers it is a fake. When the robot tries to appeal to him, he is heckled by those in the school and goes on a rampage.
