First broadcast on 29 April 2007. ## Story Lois takes a job as organist at the local church and has the family attend with her. Stewie mistakes the communion wine for punch, drinks too much and is sick, which convinces the town that he is possessed. With the priest and a crowd preparing an exorcism, the Griffins escape to Lois's sister Carol in Texas. Peter takes to ranch life, Brian is repelled by the bigotry around him, and Stewie hides as a girl called Stephanie and enters a beauty pageant. Meg and Chris break into George W. Bush's ranch to steal underwear as a club initiation. Lois hears that the search has been called off but keeps it from the family. Peter is nearly put to death by ranchers after telling them he is intellectually disabled. Stewie's wig comes off at the crowning and the family flees home. ## Production and reception - Nielsen figures put the first broadcast at 8.13 million homes, with a 2.9 rating among viewers aged 18 to 49, level with The Simpsons.
