8 Simple Rules for Buying My Teenage Daughter

Episode 8 of Family Guy season 4 (S04E08), the 58th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Patrick Meighan and directed by Greg Colton. First broadcast on 10 July 2005.

Story

Peter opens a tab at Mort's pharmacy without grasping how it works and runs up a $34,000 debt. To settle it he sells Meg to Mort, and the Goldmans treat her as a slave. Brian finds the contract is void if Neil cheats on Meg, so Lois disguises herself as Mystique and seduces him. Neil then tears up the contract, wanting Meg only if she chooses him. Meanwhile Stewie falls for his babysitter LaDawn, frames her for taking drugs after she punishes him, and regrets it once Lois sacks her.
