Barely Legal (Family Guy)

Meanwhile, Meg feels suicidal because she does not have a date for her Junior Prom. Even her backup boy, Jimmy, turned her down by shooting his younger brother to attend his funeral. As a last resort, Brian agrees to take her to the prom. As the evening progresses, he becomes increasingly drunk from a whisky flask he brought with him. When Connie D'Amico insults Meg, Brian defends her by telling Connie about her inevitable future, and he and Meg make out. After the dance, Meg begins to think Brian is her boyfriend, despite Brian saying he does not have romantic feelings for her and citing his existing relationship with Jillian. Meg develops an obsession with Brian, even baking him a pie and using her hair, implied to be her pubic ones, as one of the ingredients. Stewie arrives and sits next to Brian and asks if he can have some pie. He then asks for the "Cool Hwhip" (this is the first in a series of occasions where Stewie puts emphasis on the "h" sound in a word starting with "wh"). Brian starts to lose control of the situation and has to admit to Lois that he and Meg kissed. Lois is enraged at the news, and orders him to straighten it out on his own.

Brian goes up to Meg's room and tells her he is not attracted to her. However, Meg refuses to take "no" for an answer. Later that night, she knocks Brian out, puts him in the trunk of his car and drives away. Chris sees this and tells Lois, and she, Peter, Cleveland, Joe and Quagmire track them down at the Barrington Hotel, where they see Meg has tied Brian up with packaging tape and is about to rape him. Lois tells Meg that she is not thinking right, although Meg insists that she has never been more sure of anything in her life. Lois struggles to explain and says Meg does not know what she needs, and then Quagmire says in an erotic tone that he knows what she needs, and asks Meg to meet him at his house. This implies that he will try to take advantage of Meg and when she arrives at his house, it seems even more likely when he puts on seductive music, dims the lights, strips down to a speedo and sits down beside her. But suddenly, Quagmire uncharacteristically begins to have a serious heart-to-heart talk with Meg, telling her that her entire life is still ahead of her and she should not be in such a hurry to grow up before assuring her that she will find the right person one day. To help Meg, Quagmire gives her his copy of The Missing Piece to help give her a better perception on things, and sends her away feeling much better. It is then revealed that Quagmire was preparing to have a threesome with two women who are waiting in his bedroom with an array of sex toys; one of the women asks a confused Quagmire if he has the hwhip (with emphasis on the "h").

Production

A scene shows Cleveland falling out of the bathtub and subsequently out of his house. This is the second time the show has used this gag (as indicated when Cleveland comments that "I gotta stop taking baths during Peter's shenanigans"), the first one being "Hell Comes to Quahog", where Peter blew up Cleveland's house with a tank. This gag occurred three more times in the seventh season episodes "Tales of a Third Grade Nothing" and "Family Gay", the season eight episodes "Spies Reminiscent of Us", "Brian's Got a Brand New Bag", and the Cleveland Show pilot. It took several attempts to animate it correctly.^[2][3] The gag of Meg's Junior Prom date killing his brother in order to escape from their planned date was included in the first draft for the episode, as made by Kirker Butler.^[3]
