* EvenEvilHasStandards: It is strongly implied that Quagmire has had sexual relations with teenaged girls, making him in many eyes a sex offender (and the episode "Emission Impossible" from season three implies that he is a sex offender, because when Lois asks Quagmire to babysit the kids, he gives the warning, "In accordance with Megan's Law, I'm obligated to inform you..." before forgetting about it and taking the kids anyway). But even he is shocked at Peter's (off-camera) behavior with 1-year-old Suzie. Peter's implied past perverse sexual behavior is again at issue when he tries to visit his godson, Kevin, who immediately orders him out with a knife. (Peter tries to make an excuse.)

* CluelessAesop: Stewie's argument to have Dylan make amends with Brian essentially boils down to "Brian is related to you, so you have to forgive him". The episode seems to think what he's saying has actual merit, even though Brian willingly took advantage of Dylan and never cared about him unless he had something he could benefit from.

Or in the very least, he and Quagmire (himself in disbelief at what occurred) would, in the real world, beat the crap out of Peter until he's nearly unconscious for what happened to Suzie.

* AssPull: While it might be believable that ''current'' Brian might not care to keep in contact with Dylan, ''old'' Brian was actually a good father to Dylan once he started trying and would probably try to keep in contact with him after he leaves to help his mother. They could've even said he was doing it offscreen, to explain why Dylan wasn't brought up on screen.
