Chris paints Peter an abstract painting for his birthday, which Peter uses to cover up the broken window in his car. When an art dealer from New York happens upon the painting and declares it a masterpiece, the Griffins are off to New York City, where the art dealer tries to mold Chris into an artist, and Peter (who feels that Chris is too good to be with his family) tries to exploit Meg's talent for bird calling.
