Recap: Family Guy S 4 E 16 The Courtship Of Stewies Father
Lois mistakes Stewie's drawings of her being killed for him not being around Peter enough, so she tells Peter to bond with Stewie, which they do, by pranking Lois constantly. However, they go too far by putting her in the car and pushing it into a lake. Lois is understandably angry at Peter for that, and when Stewie tries to defend Peter, Lois tells him to go to his room, and feels betrayed when Peter lets Lois do that. Peter makes up for it by taking Stewie to Disney World, where Stewie is kidnapped and put on the Tiny World ride.

Meanwhile, Chris accidentally breaks Herbert's window playing baseball and has to do chores, much to the old man's delight. He even fantasizes himself as Audrey from Little Shop Of Horrors with Chris as Seymour.

This episode contains examples of:

  • Comically Missing the Point: When Lois sees drawings of Stewie violently murdering her, she comes to this conclusion: there aren't any pictures of Peter, so they should spend more time together. The teacher concurs.
  • Executive Meddling: The subplot of Chris doing chores for Herbert had to be completely watered down as FOX was scared of the pedophile jokes that would spring from the storyline. The DVD commentary goes into detail about what would have been in the subplot had FOX not interfered.
  • Motor Mouth: Stewie's raction about going to Disney World.
  • Shout Out
  • Take That
    • The third act is this for Disney in general. For example...
      • One of the rides is called the "Disney Stock Ride", which sends the rider plunging down.
      • One of the lost kids forced to sing on the Tiny World ride says if Stewie doesn't sing, he'll be put in "a Christmas movie with Tim Allen".
