In this homage to the 1980s movie ''Tootsie'', Stewie auditions for the American version of his favorite British kids' show ''Jolly Farm Revue''[[note]]even though "Road to Europe" showed that Stewie grew to hate the show after discovering the sets were fake, Pengrove Pig was played by a perverted old man, and Mother Maggie's actress has a craggy voice, chain-smokes, and hates children[[/note]], but when the talent coordinator tells Stewie that they want girls for the role, Stewie cross-dresses as a child actress to get the part. Meanwhile, Meg dates a normal guy (which comes as a surprise to not just her parents, but also everyone in town), but Lois (who's feeling down about her age because of Peter's remarks) decides to steal him for herself.
