In "Merlot Down Dirty Shame", Steve experiences 'lucid dreams' where he believes he can control his dreaming to do anything he wants. When he is pranked by Hayley and Klaus into thinking he is having a lucid dream, he attends school in his pajamas and underwear and runs amok in Mr. Pinkerton's science class. When he tells Amy that he will be her lab partner, she responds that Dennis is already her partner, prompting Steve to shove Dennis out of the way and kisses Amy. He then convinces her to jump out the classroom window, resulting in her being impaled on a fencepost, although she seemed to survive this, as during the credits Steve claimed that Amy's family could prosecute him for "attempted" murder.
