History YMMV / FamilyGuyS14E6PetersSister

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: This episode attempts to explain Peter's abuse of Meg by revealing that he was also abused by Karen when growing up. This fell flat for most viewers due to the fact that a) [[AssPull Karen has never been mentioned before this point]], and b) her treatment of Peter still [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse doesn't justify how he treats his own children]]. The fact that Peter [[StatusQuoIsGod immediately goes back to mistreating Meg]] after this episode puts him and this plotline in an even worse light for many (unless one assumes all following episodes featuring Peter mistreating Meg take place before this one, given the show's common NegativeContinuity use).

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Attempted. The episode reveals that Peter grew up with an older sister who used to beat and bully him, [[FreudianExcuse redefining the motivation]] behind his past abuse towards Meg. He is also shown being subjected to [[LaserGuidedKarma that humiliating abuse]] from Karen before she [[MoralEventHorizon goes too far]].

* {{Asspull}}: Karen has never been mentioned or hinted at before her introduction in this episode. It's never been indicated that Peter had siblings [[note]]Several cutaways have involved him having an EvilTwin, but these are just one-off gags[[/note]] and his childhood flashbacks have always shown him to be an only child (including episodes released ''after'' this one), with the sole exception being a cutaway gag in "Brothers & Sisters" where he mentions having a [[{{Hermaphrodite}} broster]].

* FridgeBrilliance: With Karen being so mean to him, it's possible that the reason why we've never heard of Karen or seen her is because Peter wanted to forget she existed. [[FridgeHorror However]], this might make ya' wonder ''how bad'' Karen was to Peter that he wanted to forget she existed?

* CatharsisFactor: Watching Peter be [[LaserGuidedKarma abused by his sister in the same way he's abused Meg in the past seasons]] is pretty satisfying to watch. Though even then, the "Toxic Shock" scene is just uncomfortable.

* {{Asspull}}: The fact that Peter has a sister named Karen has never been brought up in any previous episodes, nor hinted. In fact, the episode "Brothers & Sisters" has Peter saying he doesn't have a brother or a sister and instead had a [[{{Hermaphrodite}} broster]].
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: This episode is meant to have the audience sympathize with Peter and explain where he derived his abuse on Meg from. Unfortunately, this falls short for many audiences when you take in account of the description on AssPull mentioned above and the reveal of his sister came far too late to give Peter any sympathy at this point. In fact, most of the aforementioned fans even speculate that giving Peter a sister out of nowhere was mostly used by the writers to not only put him in the sympathetic limelight, but to even tell the audience that this episode is mostly to excuse his abuse on Meg in the past episodes.
