Story
Someone is urinating around the house and Stewie gets the blame, though Brian is the culprit. At the supermarket checkout Brian wets himself in front of the family, clearing Stewie. Brian sees a psychiatrist, Dr Kaplan, who suspects a midlife crisis. Stewie later frames Brian by soaking the living room, and Brian returns to the doctor. Brian mentions that his last accident followed watching Peter and Lois in a water fight, and Kaplan concludes he is in love with Lois. Brian and Lois agree to remain friends, and Brian goes golfing with Peter.
