5	After helping Lois's sister Carol (who was recently abandoned by her husband) deliver her baby, Peter and Lois decide to have another kid. Stewie is outraged that he'll no longer be the baby of the family and vows to prevent them from conceiving. After many failed attempts to stop the two, Stewie shrinks himself down to microscopic size so he can travel inside Peter and destroy every sperm cell in his body.

7
8	!!This episode contains examples of:
9	* AdamWesting: Majel Barrett voices the computer on Stewie's ship, as in so many Starfleet vessels in ''Franchise/StarTrek''.
10	* ArtisticLicenseBiology: SpermAsPeople aside, the most Stewie would accomplish by destroying the sperm cells directly is to delay the fertilization process for a while until Peter's troops recover to acceptable numbers. If he really wanted to do damage to the Griffin's fertility, he would have to find a way to stop the sperm production process itself, [[TakeAThirdOption or enter Lois' body and destroy her egg cells since those cannot be regenerated unlike sperm]].
11	* BabyFeverTrigger: Helping Lois's sister Carol give birth makes Peter want to have another baby. His initial instinct is to just steal Carol's baby, but instead concedes to try and conceive with Lois again, kicking off the episode's plot.
12	* BigWhat: Stewie's DelayedReaction to learning Peter and Lois want to have another baby.
13	* BrickJoke: Upon finding his old pet rock, Peter recalls the day they brought it home: it peed on the carpet. Later during his romantic evening with Lois, Peter plays the guitar and cues the rock for a solo, only for it to pee again.
14	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: While driving Carol to the hospital, Peter takes a detour to pick up some drive-thru. Lois yells at him, since her sister is currently in labour. However, Peter thinks Lois wants him to get something for the baby too and decides to order a kid's meal.
15	* CompanionCube: Peter's pet rock, which is [[RuleOfFunny somehow]] able to pee on the carpet (twice).
16	* ConstructiveBodyDisposal: Stewie's ImagineSpot montage of what life with his prospective little brother Bertram would be like revolves around them teaming up to take down Lois, with the last one depicting them burying her in cement.
17	* CousinOliver: Stewie dreads a new baby will lead to him being replaced, even citing ''Series/TheBradyBunch''. A cutaway then shows the Bradys fawning over Oliver and mistreating Bobby.
18	-->'''Bobby:''' ''[entering]'' Hey, everybody, I--\
19	'''Mike:''' Bobby! You get back in the garage! ''[jabs him with the broom]''
20	* DriveThruAntics: Peter stops at a window while driving Lois and her pregnant sister Carol, who is in labor.
21	-->'''Peter:''' Um, yeah, I'll have three cheeseburgers.\
22	'''Lois:''' Peter, for God's sakes, ''she's having a baby!''\
23	'''Peter:''' Oh, that's right. A-And a kids meal. And, uh...I-I guess I'll have fries. If I have fries, is anyone gonna have any? 'Cause, you know, I don't wanna be the only one eating them. I'll feel like a fatty.
24	* EroticEating: Peter and Lois seductively feed fruit to each other as foreplay, but Peter ruins the moment when he shoves a slice of watermelon down Lois' throat.
25	* FantasticVoyagePlot: Stewie travels inside Peter's body to destroy his sperm cells, which are depicted as ships piloted by babies like him.
26	* IdiotBall: Stewie could have easily gotten away with framing Lois for getting lipstick all over Peter's favorite shirt if he just left the bathroom, but he just had to stay and admire himself in the mirror with the lipstick still on him, which caused Lois and Brian to stumble on the scene and prevent his FrameUp from happening.
27	* InstantSedation: Played comically straight when Stewie commandeers a robotic Peter lookalike to stop him from having sex with Lois. To get Peter out of the way, Stewie lures him out of the bedroom with beer before shoving a chloroform-soaked cloth in his face. It takes all of ''one second'' for Peter to be out like a light.
28	* InvasionOfTheBabySnatchers: Mentioned briefly after Carol's baby is born, and Lois comments on how sweet Peter looked holding the infant.
29	-->'''Peter''': I know, I just didn't want to let it go!
30	-->'''Lois''': Really?
31	-->'''Peter''': Let's steal it.
32	-->'''Lois''': What?!
33	* ManlyTears: So the former can escape through the tear ducts, Stewie and Bertram get Peter to cry by singing "Up Where We Belong." It works.
34	-->'''Lois:''' ''[seeing Peter tear up]'' Oh, Peter, I love you.\
35	'''Peter:''' And I love you, [[Creator/LouisGossettJr Lou Gossett, Jr.]]
36	* NotSoDifferentRemark: Stewie and Bertram bond over having similar viewpoints, one of which is wanting to kill Lois.
37	* ObnoxiousInLaws: Actually averted with Peter and Carol! Not only do they speak kindly to each other even when Peter jokes that he's Carol's estranged husband coming back (which gets a chuckle out of Carol), he's the one who helps deliver her son.
38	* OhCrap: Stewie is relieved that Bertram survived Peter's bathroom trip, calling him quite clever. He then worries that his would-be brother is "too clever."
39	* OwMyBodyPart: While in transit inside Peter's body, Stewie needs to buy some time before Peter and Lois get it on, leading him to fire at Peter's duodenum (the entry point between the stomach and the small intestine). This immediately prompts Peter to claim [[LudicrousPrecision with remarkable specificity]] "Oh jeez, my duodenum's acting up!" before bolting to the bathroom.
40	* ParentalFavoritism: Chris was conceived because of a broken condom, which resulted in a lawsuit that paid for the Griffin's house. Because of this, Lois refers to Chris as her favorite mistake, which he lords over Meg.
41	* SkewedPriorities: Peter stops off at a drive-thru while driving Carol to the hospital as she's in labor.
42	* SpermAsPeople: The sperm inside Peter are all presented as {{Space Fighter}}s. Interestingly, in a weird bout of ContinuityNod, it lines up with Stewie's own self-described experiences [[Recap/FamilyGuyS1E3ChittyChittyDeathBang mentioned back in Season One]].
43	* StealthInsult: "You're my favorite mistake."
44	* ThatsWhatSheSaid: While Peter and Brian are assembling a crib:
45	-->'''Brian:''' Okay, insert rod support A into slot B.
46	-->'''Peter:''' ''[giggling]'' That's what she--
47	-->'''Brian:''' If you say "that's what she said" one more time, I'm gonna pop you.
48	* UrineTrouble: Courtesy of a ''pet rock''.
49	-->'''Peter:''' Bad rock! Bad! We do that outside!
50	* WorthyOpponent: Both Stewie and Bertram refer to each other as this.
51	-->'''Stewie:''' It's going to be a shame to destroy such a worthy adversary.
52	-->'''Bertram:''' My thoughts exactly.
