His parents, Peter and Lois, are fed up with Chris talking about the Evil Monkey, saying it does not exist. Later, Stewie, a self-proclaimed ''Hannah Montana'' fan, learns that Miley Cyrus is having a concert in Quahog. Tickets to the show are sold out mere seconds after being made available for purchase, leaving him unable to attend the show. Brian makes fun of Stewie for watching Hannah Montana, at one point, calling him "gay". But seeing him cry about not being able to attend the show persuades him to help get tickets. Chris sets up a camera in his room to capture the creature. When he reviews the tape he finds no evidence of the Evil Monkey, and goes ahead with his plans on capturing him. The family is taken aback when Chris proves it is real by capturing the monkey, and showing it to them, but he turns out not to be evil after all. The monkey explains he was forced to move into Chris's closet after his wife had an affair, and divorced him, and pointing at Chris was only his way of trying to make conversation. In addition, the angry face he gave was his way of thinking, and the trembling was due to a copper deficiency. Chris is at first unconvinced, but when the monkey helps him write a book report, he is surprised to receive a passing grade, and the two become great friends. Brian and Stewie manage to sneak in backstage at the concert, where Miley asks why they're here. Brian then explains that Stewie has a 'tumor' shaped like a football, which convinces Miley to let them hang out with her backstage. Miley and Stewie quickly become best friends and they sing a song which Stewie wrote. Soon, Chris realizes that the Monkey has spent more time with him, like taking him to play baseball and going to a father and son BBQ in Monkeykid. Chris then says to Peter that he has never gave as much attention to him as the monkey has, so he grows to resent his own father. While having ice-cream with Miley, Stewie notices a signal interference on her cell phone when handing it to her. He then realises something is strange about Miley. Upon spying on her, Stewie and Brian discover that she is actually an android after seeing an employee insert a USB drive on the control panel on Miley's back. They both realized that Miley was created by Walt Disney Imagineering to become the perfect teen idol that can never fail. When Brian curiously asks if she can perform other tasks, Stewie agrees to reprogram Miley to have sex with Brian by gaining access to the control panel. However, it goes wrong and he accidentally sends Miley into a rage, forcing Stewie and Brian to run away from the monstrous Miley. Peter and Chris set up traps for each other as they fight. Lois then gets sick of the boys fighting, so the monkey tricks Peter and Chris into coming to dinner together. Chris and Peter admit they don't hate each other and vow to spend more time together. As they are doing this, they see Brian and Stewie running away from the chaotic Miley who is smashing vehicles, shops and houses. The monkey confronts her, and attempts to talk her out of her rampage (as well as her career), but Miley ends up kidnapping him and takes him to the top of a nearby skyscraper. Fortunately, Peter is able to recruit his neighbor, Quagmire, to shoot her down in a biplane, and a battle with Miley starts escalating. The monkey falls out of her hands and he grips onto a narrow ledge with one hand. Miley's skin, hair and clothes peel off, revealing her android skeleton and she tries to kill Peter and Quagmire with a rock, but fails. Eventually, she is pummelled off the top. Afterwards, the monkey falls off the ledge but is saved by Peter just before he hits the road far below. Stewie and Brian then see the broken Miley, where Stewie says Brian can have now have sex with her, but Miley blows up seconds later. Monkey then moves out of Chris's closet, and his friendly attitude also parts ways with him, saying he will "go where he's needed", and moves to Tom Tucker's upside-down-faced son Jake's closet as his new haunt. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hannah Banana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
