Recap / Family Guy S 20 E 12 The Lois Quagmire

Go To

Lois takes Quagmire to her high school reunion (due to being embarrassed about Peter) and Peter and the kids order pizza...which ends up worse than expected.

Tropes

  • Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?: Lois is saddened that Quagmire doesn't try to have sex with her. She wanted him to try so that she could reject him; in her own words, this would make her feel "sexually desirable and morally superior."
  • Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Lois notes that Peter drinks too much, eats too much, and thinks Scrappy-Doo "is the better Doo."
  • Character Development: Quagmire (of all people) doesn't make a move on Lois in spite of having the perfect opportunity to do so, because he respects her and Peter's marriage and doesn't want to come between them.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Lois becomes consumed with jealousy after Quagmire sleeps with a cocktail waitress, despite the fact that he's not really her husband.
  • It's All About Me: Lois forbids Peter and the kids from ordering pizza because their "weight is a reflection on her".
  • Of Corpse He's Alive: In a move straight out of Weekend at Bernie's, the main cast minus Lois has Meg puppeteer the body of a deceased pizza delivery man (who died while using the Griffin's toilet) in order to avoid suspicion regarding his sudden death.
  • Rich Bitch: Lois' old classmates are this.
  • The Scrappy: Referenced in-universe. Peter's belief that the Trope Namer is the better Doo is one of the reasons why Lois finds him embarrassing.
