After 6 1/2 seasons note , Bonnie finally gives birth to her and Joe's second child—a baby girl they name Susie. The bad news is that the medical bill totals to $20,000, which is far more than Joe and his family can afford on a policeman's salary. While Joe works at a second job at The Drunken Clam, Peter talks him into borrowing from a loan shark, which puts Joe in debt. After a few attempts at earning enough money to pay down Joe's debt, Peter asks Carter to help Joe out, then plans a heist at Pewterschmidt Mansion after Carter refuses. Lois catches on, and successfully talks Peter, Joe, and the others out of it.
In the end, Lois convinces her father to give them the money, claiming she wants it for a divorce lawyer. Peter laughs assuming she was kidding.
Or was she?
Meanwhile, Stewie falls in love with Susie and plans on writing a romantic song for her, but Brian keeps harping on his creativity.
Tropes:
- At Arm's Length: Carter does this to Bill Gates after taunting him.
- Bowdlerization: The original airing had Peter say that Carter treats him worse than Christian Bale, followed by a cutaway featuring a tape player of Bale's infamous Terminator Salvation on-set rant and Peter reacting to it. All subsequent airings and the DVD change it to Quagmire planning a movie with B-list actors such as Jeff Bridges and Laura Linney. However, Hulu has the original scene.
- The uncut airings have a jab at Kobe Bryant with a commercial for condoms.
- The Caper: Peter, Joe, Quagmire and Cleveland plan to rob Pewterschmidt Mansion to pay for Joe's medical bills. When Cleveland points out that they only need $20,000 (and the mansion's vault holds millions), Peter claims that it's payback for the abuse he's suffered at the hands of Carter for the past 20 years.
- Didn't Think This Through: Lois tells the guys when they try to rob Carter that her father will use his vast resources to find out who took the money and make their lives hell when he finds out it was them.
- Driven to Suicide: Stewie's music video, while having no actual story arc, makes several implications of depression, and death, and ends with Stewie jumping from a bridge and sinking underwater. All over his love for a girl.
- Dull Surprise: Or lack thereof. When Brian casually tells Lois that Peter, Joe, Quagmire, and Cleveland went to rob her dad's vault, she believes him without making a fuss.
- Hidden Depths: Cleveland can do spot-on impressions of people he knows, which is useful for getting into the Pewterschmidts' vault.
- Kick the Dog: One scene has Peter and the guys try to raise the money to pay for Joe's hospital bills by opening a massage parlor. The woman they offer a massage to, rather than simply refuse, needlessly insults the four men and walk off.Woman: Just what I need, to be rubbed down by a big fattie, an old Black guy, a cripple, and a pervert. (walks off)Cleveland: Now we don't have any money, and our feelings are hurt...
- Long List: Brian manages to list over thirty songs named after women when mocking Stewie's attempt to write a song about Susie.
- Nothing Is the Same Anymore: Bonnie has finally given birth to a baby girl named Susie after seven years.
- One-Woman Song: Stewie attempts to write one, called "Susie". Brian points out how unoriginal that is by rattling off 31 of them.
- Plot Tailored to the Party: Peter, Cleveland, and Quagmire, all play a part in clearing the security checks protecting the Pewterschmidts' vault: Cleveland pulls off a perfect vocal impersonation of Carter, Peter is able to successfully guess what is believed to be the worst male name in the English language note , and Quagmire is somehow able to clear the vault's penile identification scanner by sticking his penis inside it and breaking it.
- Pre-Asskicking One-Liner: The loan shark's goons relay a message to Joe from their boss when they attack him for not paying up...they don't say it right away, because one of them forgot it, but after he gets reminded by the other goon, it goes "If you don't pay up, You'll be Swanson's TV dinner when we're done".
- Random Events Plot: Stewie's music video is a hodgepodge of nonsense and references to other videos.Brian: I'm not following the story arc here.Stewie: Shut up!
- Rental Car Abuse: Cleveland mentions that Peter once soiled himself while test-driving a sports car. A Cutaway Gag then shows Peter driving the car back to the dealership, throwing the keys back to an employee, quickly saying "I don't want it", and walking off.
- Shout-Out: Stewie's music video for Susie is set to Bryan Adams' "Everything I Do". The video itself has homages such as U2's "New Year's Day", The White Stripes' "Fell In Love With A Girl" and The Police's "Wrapped Around Your Finger".
- Spy-Tux Reveal: Peter, Cleveland, Quagmire and Joe do this in an attempt to steal a bunch of money from Mr. Pewterschmidt.
- Take That!: Peter attempts to put Bonnie in labor by having her watch Two and a Half Men, which was filmed in front of a live ostrich.
- The Diaper Change: While Joe tells Bonnie about their hospital bills, Bonnie changes both Susie's and Joe's diapers.
- You Say Tomato: The bakery Swedes in one cutaway.
