Plot

When

Joe has a student ID he took from a kid that gave him lip, Peter, Quagmire and Joe visit the Harvard University campus for lunch and have a wild night on the town. A drunken Quagmire accidentally marries an elderly prostitute named Charmese, who refuses to let go of their relationship and Quagmire starts to consider a divorce
until Joe points out that he could lose everything. Quagmire tries to make the best of it but Charmese can't pull herself far enough out of the gutter for his tastes.

Charmese said she has not had 2 weeks period of not having sex, since she was last in coma for 6 weeks. She worked in her profession for the last 40 years.

When Quagmire is reluctant to pursue their relationship, Charmese questions if he's

sex with a man. Quagmire approaches Peter with the idea. Peter agrees but insists they have a date first, through which Quagmire suffers. Back at Quagmire's house, Charmese insists they have sex and the men clumsily, reluctantly prepare. Just as they are about to have sex, Charmese calls off the charade, noting that they're clearly heterosexual but if Quagmire wants a divorce that badly, she'll grant him one. She then says that he treats her better than any other guy she's met, and doesn't want to feel like she's burdening her marriage partner. After Charmese leaves, a nearly nude Peter and Quagmire embrace in relief as Peter suddenly noted the camera on Quagmire's laptop is on. The scene then cuts to the Griffin home, with the family watching in horror while Stewie comes in and asks if they're watching Glee
.
