History Recap / FamilyGuyS9E15BrothersAndSisters

** On the TV version, Peter's lie to get Quagmire to turn the flight back is that a cat he was watching over was delivering kittens, and while he watched over them himself, he had to leave for work and would leave Brian to watch them; on DVD, he says that Cheryl Tiegs, Quag's self-proclaimed "one true love", was washing her car by his house after it broke down.
* ContrivedCoincidence: One of the most exaggerated in the series. After West flies to Alaska, Peter, in a period of despair over losing a possible friend and brother (in-law, but all Peter hears is the first part), decides to go to the Clam and calls Quagmire up. The reason he can't make it? ''He's the pilot flying to Alaska.'' If it were anybody else flying, or if Peter had decided to call Joe or even Cleveland instead, they would've been shit outta luck. Even Peter himself acknowledged the absurdity of the ''exact coincidence'' of it all.
-->'''Peter''': ''Alaska?!'' What the hell, I never even heard of this place an hour ago, and now ''everybody's'' flying there.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Lois did point out that Carol got married nine times and always ended in divorce. Carol would fall for guys quickly and married them. Indeed Carol was implied to be unfaithful to Mayor West less than a season later, though thankfully they quickly got over it.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Lois when she realizes she's turned her back on Carol after all she did for her, realizing what a massive hypocrite she was considering Carol was one of the biggest people defending Lois and Peter's relationship.

** The local nobleman who comes by to declare "prima nocta" on Carol and Mayor West says he had a "soggy penis" on the TV version. On DVD, he describes his penis as "flaccid", which is a more common description. On top of that, FOX did allow the word "flaccid" on a previous ''Family Guy'' episode[[note]]season two's "There's Something About Paulie" in the cutaway of Peter on ''The Dating Game'' telling the female contestant that, if she were ice cream, he'd try to eat her immediately before he got flaccid[[/note]], so it doesn't make sense why it would be censored here.

On the DVD version, Lois says that Mayor West can't move to Alaska because there are Eskimo child molesters up there (followed by a cutaway of an Eskimo man forcing an Eskimo boy to give him an Eskimo kiss).
