In a flashback set seven years earlier,
Brian is born in a
puppy mill near
Austin, Texas and taken from his mother. In the present, Brian tells his
psychiatrist about the memory. Afterward, he then volunteers to pick up
Stewie from his vacation at his grandparents' summer home in
Palm Springs, California, where Stewie frames a maid for stealing to amuse himself at dinner. At the airport bar, Brian gets drunk and, when Stewie comes to find him, their unattended bags are stolen, with the plane tickets inside. They stop at a decrepit motel, where Stewie tries calling home, but fails because he believes the phone number is
867-5309. The next day, they have to escape their room and hotwire a car due to their credit card being rejected. To get home, Stewie and Brian masquerade as crop dusters to steal a plane, which they immediately destroy in the attempt to take off. Eventually, they visit the puppy mill after being in a caravan of migrants and discover Brian’s mother had died, her carcass being stuffed and used as a table. A horrified Brian decides to take her remains and bury them in a nearby park. They complete their journey home riding in a boxcar of a train in which the two of them perform a musical duet. Meanwhile,
Lois urges
Peter to watch relationship videos with her, but the videos turn out to be
pornography hosted by Dr. Amanda Rebecca, who strips after asking the women to leave the room. Peter becomes addicted to the videos, much to Lois's chagrin. She gets herself on the end of one of the tapes in black
lingerie and entices Peter. While kissing, Peter rewinds the tape, playing the part of Lois taking her robe off over and over. When Stewie and Brian return home, Lois asks Stewie about the trip, and Stewie covers up for Brian by saying the trip was "Smooth sailing through calm seas". Lois leaves and Brian tells Stewie that he is thankful to Stewie for covering for him, and asks Stewie if there's anything he can do to repay him. At first, it appears that Stewie wishes to make him his servant by providing an example with an episode of
The Brady Bunch, although it turns out that Stewie wants Brian to tape that episode for him. ==Production==
