* ShoutOut: "[[Film/{{Caddyshack}} Hey, everybody! We're all gonna get laid!]]"
** The opening spoofs the opening to ''[[Series/LittleHouseOnThePrairie Little House]]''.

* BaitAndSwitch: The audience would normally expect this to be another gratuitously anti-religious episode, reflecting Seth MacFarlane’s atheist views. But shockingly, Scotty’s Christian parents are not demonized as pathetic morons for their faith, and Lois ends up making a genuine point that science and religion can (and often do) peacefully co-exist.

** Peter confusing Christian Science with Scientology: His line on TV is "Isn't that [Christian Science] that religion all them gaybo Hollywood actors follow to keep stuff away from men's butts?" On DVD, it's "Isn't that [Christian Science] that religion all them homo Hollywood actors follow to keep stuff out of men's butts?"
** Peter on ''Jeopardy'': When he loses, he says on the TV version: "Well, (bleep) me in the (bleep) with a big, black (bleep)!" On DVD, the line is completely changed to, "Well, doesn't that suck a big, black cock?"
* {{Deconstruction}}: During the Little House opening spoof, Stewie deconstructs the opening when he trips on a rock covered by grass

** The opening spoofs the opening to [[Series/LittleHouseOnThePrairie Little House]].

On DVD, the line is completely changed to, "Well, doesn't that suck a big, black cock?" (It would have been easy to just unbleep the original line, as the missing words are "fuck," "ass", and "cock," but that most likely would have been too predictable)

'''Chris''': '''''I THINK I HAVEN'T HAD ENOUGH!''''' ''(guzzled the rest of the cereal)''

* EveryoneHasStandards (or EvenEvilHasStandards) and JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Lois may be a jerk to her kids and husband in recent episodes, but she shows genuine concern for Scotty's well being.

'''Chris''': '''''I THINK I HAVEN'T HAD ENOUGH!'''''

* OutOfCharacterMoment: Chris has a sudden outburst, lashing out at Brian and telling him that when he dies, they're just going to get a new dog that acts like a normal one and isn't a SoapboxSadie. Lois tells him he's had too much sugar, and Chris simply shouts that he hasn't had enough.

The Griffin family goes to the Quahog Public Library for the Children's Sing-a-long activity held by Bruce. During the activity, Stewie befriends a boy named Scotty Jennings. Lois puts them on a play date, but Scotty falls ill and passes out, so Lois and Peter take him to the hospital. Dr. Hartman tells them that Scotty has Hodgkin's lymphoma and needs treatment. When Scotty's parents Ben and Hope arrive, they say that they do not use modern hospital treatment due to their religious beliefs as Christian Scientists, stating that they use "faith" as an antidote.

Despite her own religious views, Lois finds the couple's beliefs ridiculous and tries to talk to them and see if she could get them to use the hospital. They remain firm, so she decides to kidnap Scotty and take him there herself. Lois and Peter sneak up to Scotty's house and get Scotty out of the house successfully. They are too late when a huge crowd with Ben, Hope and the police with Joe block them at the hospital. Lois explains to Scotty's parents that, even if they use faith of God as a medicine, people still have created modern medicine, which is also the possibility of what God may have allowed. Eventually, Ben and Hope agree and allow their son to go to the hospital to receive his treatments, prompting Peter to exclaim "Hey Everybody, We're All Gonna Get Laid!". Scotty ends up beating his cancer, but by this point, Stewie has found a new friend with leprosy. At the end of the show, Peter decides to study Christian Science and proves a theory by imagining himself as Kate Middleton at the Royal Wedding.

* {{Bowdlerization}}: Some lines and scenes have been cut between the TV version and the DVD version:
** Peter confusing Christian Science with Scientology: His line on TV is "Isn't that [Christian Science] that religion all them gaybo Hollywood actors follow to keep stuff away from men's butts?" On DVD, it's "Isn't that [Christian Science] that religion all them homo Hollywood actors follow to keep stuff out of men's butts?"
** Peter on ''Jeopardy'': When he loses, he says on the TV version: "Well, (bleep) me in the (bleep) with a big, black (bleep)!" On DVD, the line is completely changed to, "Well, doesn't that suck a big, black cock?" (It would have been easy to just unbleep the original line, as the missing words are "fuck," "ass", and "cock," but that most likely would have been too predictable)

* AttentionWhore: Lois, according to Chris and Meg.
* [[EveryoneHasStandards Lois Has Standards]]: Lois thought what Ben and Hope was suggestion in order to treat Scotty would put his life in danger and points out that even God would understand about the kind of treatment was to help.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Lois may have acted like a jerk to her kids lately in the series, but she shows genuine concern for Scotty's well being.
