Writer and director credits." --- # Movin' Out (Brian's Song) Episode 2 of Family Guy season 6 (S06E02), the 100th Family Guy episode overall. Written by John Viener and directed by Cyndi Tang. First broadcast on 30 September 2007. ## Story Brian turns down Jillian's invitation to Disney on Ice and Peter goes in his place. Having enjoyed her company, Peter persuades Jillian to give Brian a choice: move in together or split up. Brian agrees, settles in better than expected, then finds he cannot cover the rent alone and lets Stewie, who has a paper round, take a share. The arrangement and the secret behind it come out during an argument, and Brian admits he never wanted to move in at all. Jillian leaves him. Stewie later talks him into trying to win her back, but she is now with Mayor West, and Brian moves home. Meanwhile Meg takes a job at a convenience store and brings Chris in, and Chris is handed the promotion she was promised. ## Production and reception - This was the 100th episode of the series.
