* {{Foreshadowing}}: A small detail as to note there might be something up with Meg's "getaway driver" story is the fact Meg was using the same car, with the license plate on and wearing no mask, and doing the same crime multiple times. With that, it would be expected that the cops would come to the Griffin household and arrest her, but such a scene never happens.

Meg is hanging out at a sports bar, bored out of her mind, when she is approached by a hot guy named Seymour who begins flirting with her. The two of them go for a drive when he instructs her to pull into the parking lot of a convenience store... which he proceeds to rob at gunpoint. Meg manages to evade the cops, displaying some extremely impressive driving skills as she does. Seymour is impressed and the two of them soon kick off a crime spree all over Quahog, eventually planning to rob a Ross Dress for Less after their memorial day sale.
Meanwhile, Peter and the guys go to a VR Arcade and Quagmire ends up getting an extremely persistent case of hiccups. After repeatedly trying and failing to get rid of them, Quagmire asks Peter to MercyKill him because he's been unable to eat or sleep (and also because of Peyton Manning's assault accusation just going away). Peter agrees and makes preparations to kill Quagmire. However, as Quagmire is saying goodbye to his cat, his cat scratches him and his hiccups go away. Regardless, Peter still tries to kill Quagmire, tying him up and stuffing him into the trunk of his car.
