Bango Was His Name, Oh!

Episode 29 of Family Guy season 4 (S04E29), the 79th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Alex Borstein and directed by Pete Michels. First broadcast on 21 May 2006.

Story

Peter buys a TiVo. Watching the news, Stewie sees a man in San Francisco with his own face and hair and decides he must be his real father. Unable to raise the airfare, he and Brian hitch a lift in Quagmire's motorhome as Quagmire sets out to sleep with a woman in every state. At a motel in New Jersey a woman handcuffs Quagmire to the bed and robs him, and Brian and Stewie drive off without him. Meanwhile Chris and Meg keep interrupting Peter and Lois in bed, so the parents teach the children how to find dates and send them to the mall. Stewie swallows a bottle of West Coast Turnarounds and crashes the motorhome in the desert. He nearly gives up before Brian encourages him on. They hire a car, reach San Francisco, and Stewie confronts the man, discovering he is himself, thirty years older.
