Writer and director credits." --- # Stewie Kills Lois Episode 4 of Family Guy season 6 (S06E04), the 102nd Family Guy episode overall. Written by David A. Goodman and directed by John Holmquist. First broadcast on 4 November 2007. ## Story Brian gives Lois cruise tickets for her birthday, hoping to go with her, but she takes Peter instead. Left behind, Stewie is furious; after Brian says he never carries out his threats, he resolves to prove him wrong. On the ship Peter embarrasses Lois repeatedly. When she steps out on deck alone, Stewie arrives by speedboat and shoots her overboard with a submachine gun. Joe calls off the search after six days. Over the next year Peter dates again and has Joe impersonate Lois for Chris's sake. Stewie lets slip to Brian that he was responsible and dumps his gun and drawings. A cashed life insurance policy makes Joe, Quagmire and Cleveland suspect Peter, and the discarded evidence seems to confirm it. Peter is tried for murder and Carter testifies falsely against him. As a life sentence looms, Lois walks into the courtroom and names Stewie as her attacker. ## Production and reception - David A. Goodman wrote the episode and John Holmquist directed it, and it was made as a two part story.
