* ProperlyParanoid: After hearing about the [=Y2K=] rumor, Peter immediately builds a fallout shelter in the basement and forcibly barricades the family in it. Despite Lois's disbelief, TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt ''does'' happen. Following that, Peter leads the family to Natuck where he believes that a Twinkie factory survived the apocalypse, and turned out to be right again. These instances lead Peter to believe that New Quahog needs guns and so cannibalizes the town's plumbing to fashion them, which unfortunately gets him and the others thrown out of the town. Despite the town's disbelief however, it turns out they ''do'' need the guns when Stewie's WeaponizedOffspring go on a rampage. Ironically, however, the Griffins are unaware of this and Peter says that he's ''not'' always right.
