3	Chris' teacher quits his job after winning the lottery during Parents' Night. Brian is initially hired to teach Chris' class, but ends up teaching a class of troubled, streetwise students. Meanwhile, Chris' infatuation with the new, blonde teacher turns into a plot to help her murder her husband.
4	----
5	!!This episode provides examples of:
6	* BaitAndSwitch:
7	** When Chris tells Lois he has a crush on his teacher, Peter responds in a manner suggesting that he can't believe what he's hearing ("Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa."), but it turns out he's gearing up to say, "[[ComicallyMissingThePoint Lois, this is not my]] ''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint Batman]]'' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint glass.]]"
8	** Lois worries that Chris won't survive prison because of [[PrisonRape what they do to the inmates in the showers]] as seen on ''Oz''. The cutaway shows the inmates singing ''The Merry Old Land of Oz'', not getting raped as seen in the HBO prison drama that aired in the late 1990s.
9	** When Lana ends her relationship with Chris over his hesitation and vows to kill her husband herself, we see her asking him how his oatmeal tastes. At first, we suspect she may have poisoned him but then a close-up cutaway shows a bear lying close by to his oatmeal that attacks and kills him off-screen.
10	* BearsAreBadNews: Lana's husband is murdered by a bear.
11	* BookDumb: The teenagers in Brian's class are this in spades. Summed up quite well by one of their reports on ''Literature/GreatExpectations'', quoted word for word:
12	--> "Mrs. Havisham shouda throwed dat cake out, so it don't, like, mess up da bitches house".
13	* BrotherSisterIncest: Twice in the episode.
14	** First, it's implied some sort of sexual activity took place between famous brother-sister duo Donny and Marie Osmond as they are both lying in bed with looks of satisfaction and shame on their faces followed by their conversation:
15	---> '''Donny''': Uh... Marie?\
16	'''Marie''': ''(looks at him)'' Yeah, Donny?\
17	'''Donny''': Um... We can''not'' tell Mom!
18	** The second example contains a in-verse Twincest joke where Peter is one-half of the Wonder Twins and when his twin sister Jayna leaves for battle (in the form of a hawk), Peter allows himself to magically turn into "Jayna's tampon" and hides himself in her purse so that when the time comes for her next menstrual cycle to begin...
19	* CassandraTruth: Chris denies killing Mrs. Lockhart's husband after he was mauled by a bear. At first, Lois does not believe the denial, but a newsreel of Mr. Lockhart being killed by a bear happens, making Lois see that Chris was being truthful.
20	* DidntThinkThisThrough: The Vincent van Gogh cutaway gag where he gives his ear to his wife. She says it will be an interesting story to tell their kids, only for Vincent to abashedly admit that he cut off his penis as well.
21	* EarAche: A CutawayGag of Vincent van Gogh giving his wife his severed ear is shown.
22	* EveryoneHasStandards: The inner city kids aren't pleased with Brian using Ebonics to teach Shakespeare, calling it racist and ignorant.
23	* EyeScream: Stewie's eye going blood red as he accidentally broke a blood vessel just farting.
24	--> '''Stewie''': Ahh! Broke a damn blood vessel!
25	* FreudianSlipperySlope: When Peter's talking to Mrs. Lockhart about Chris's infatuation with her:
26	--> '''Peter''': Sorry. Our son can sometimes be a boob. I mean a melon. I mean, a sopping-wet pair of breasts barely covered by a racing T-shirt.
27	* GroinAttack: A flashback depicts Vincent van Gogh giving a woman his ear, then his penis.
28	* HotTeacher: Lana Lockhart, who entrances many of the students as well as Chris's father Peter.
29	* InterspeciesRomance: Between Mrs. Lockhart and the bear at the end of the episode.
30	* MoodWhiplash: One scene goes from Chris reacting horrified to the idea of having to kill Mr. Lockhart to immediately showing Stewie in face cream and hair rollers yelling at him about how late it is at night.
31	* MurderTheHypotenuse: Lana tells Chris if they want to be together, he would have to kill her husband.
32	* NominalCoauthor: In a CutawayGag, Creator/MattDamon finishes writing ''Film/GoodWillHunting'' and Creator/BenAffleck asks for a co-writing credit. Damon angrily claims that Affleck did nothing but eat ice cream and smoke pot the entire time.
33	* NoodleIncident:
34	** Chris lists two incidents to his parents when they accuse him of murdering Mr. Lockhart (namely, lying about his age to get into a casino and soiling himself).
35	** When Remedial English student teen parent Amanda goes into labor, another teen parent asks if she could have this one. Her reason being because her mother keeps giving her kids away.
36	* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: Brian tries to be this in order to teach the inner-city kids better. It doesn't go so well as two kids point out how racist he looks.
37	* ShoutOut:
38	** The episode's title is a reference to the high school film "Film/FastTimesAtRidgemontHigh".
39	** Mrs. Lockheart gives a lesson on ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour''. 1984 is also the name of a Music/VanHalen album which contains the song "Hot for Teacher", which has a music video which features a female teacher stripping.
40	** While teaching ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'', Brian puts on a fake urban hip-hop persona and calls Music/TupacShakur and Music/TheNotoriousBIG his boys. Brian says that Biggie and Tupac represented the West side, even though both of them are from the East but only Tupac represented the West.
41	** After Peter gets amnesia in a flashback, he thinks he's Larry from ''Series/ThreesCompany''. [[BrickJoke It later happens again]].
42	** The Griffins are about to watch ''Series/JoanOfArcadia'' but are interrupted by the news.
43	** Stewie compares Peter’s underwear to a Jackson Pollock painting.
44	** The opening credits are a parody of those of ''Series/LawAndOrder'', and were narrated by Steven Zirnkilton, opening credits narrator for all ''L&O'' series. Note that the Greased-up Deaf Guy was included in the “Order” section of the opening, reserved for lawyers on ''Law & Order''; he mentions that he was previously a lawyer in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS4E1NorthByNorthQuahog North by North Quahog]]".
45	** In March 1991, Pamela Smart seduced a sixteen-year-old boy and convinced him to kill her husband, in the same way Mrs. Lockheart tries to seduce Chris, he’s interested in her but doesn’t kill her husband.
46	** The green slime Peter gets when he says "I don't know" followed by the music and the title screen is from the kids' sketch comedy show ''Series/YouCantDoThatOnTelevision''.
47	** Lois calls Brian "Mr. Kot-tair!" as in ''Series/WelcomeBackKotter''.
48	** A scene depicts Creator/BenAffleck and Creator/MattDamon arguing over whether Matt should credit Ben on the first copy of ''Film/GoodWillHunting'' script, in a nod to the actual controversy over whether both Ben and Matt wrote the Oscar-winning screenplay.
49	** Brian dresses in costume, as Creator/MarkTwain when they read ''Literature/TheAdventuresOfHuckleberryFinn'', while teaching like Richard Mulligan in ''Film/Teachers1984''.
50	** Brian's students are similar to the students in ''Film/DangerousMinds'', and Brian's subplot on teaching these students is based on the film’s plot itself.
51	** While Stewie is doing the robot, he says, "Let’s see the kid with the hearing aid from Barney do this". One of the regulars on ''Series/BarneyAndFriends'' was a near-deaf youth who appeared early in the series.
52	** Lois confuses the prison drama ''Series/{{Oz}}'' with ''Film/TheWizardOfOz''.
53	** Brian's students get up on the desks and recite Creator/WaltWhitman's "O Captain! My Captain!", as the students do in ''Film/DeadPoetsSociety''.

55	* TakeThat:
56	** Stewie says he had a dream where he was hatched by Elisabeth Hasselbeck, a co-host on The View.
57	** One joke aimed at the Osmond siblings regarding Chris' impulsive behavior towards his teacher:
58	--> '''Mrs. Lana Lockhart''': Chris, you can't be so impulsive! People have gotten into a lot of trouble that way!\
59	''(cutaway gag to siblings Donny and Marie lying in bed together post-coital as a result of "impulsive behavior")''
60	* TeacherStudentRomance: Chris immediately develops a crush on Mrs. Lana Lockhart the moment he meets her.
61	* TeenPregnancy: One of Brian's students from remedial English, Amanda, is a young teen mother whose water breaks during the students introduction.
62	* ToughLove: In a cutaway, Peter makes an indoor water slide down the stairs and hurts himself using it and starts moaning in pain. Brian tells him he's not calling the hospital because he knew Peter wouldn't learn anything if he did.
63	* VandalismBackfire: Peter and Chris egg Brian's house after Brian gives Chris an F, forgetting that it was ''their own house''.
