Road to Germany

Episode 3 of Family Guy season 7 (S07E03), the 113th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Patrick Meighan and directed by Greg Colton. First broadcast on 19 October 2008.

Story

During an Oscars party at the Griffins' house, Mort mistakes a time machine in Stewie's room for a portable toilet and is sent into the past. Stewie and Brian follow with the return pad and find Mort in a Warsaw synagogue on 1 September 1939, the day Germany invades Poland. The return pad will not work, so the three head for England. Mort's disguise as a priest is exposed at the border and a chase follows, ending with an escape by motorbike and a hijacked U-boat. In England Stewie finds the pad's uranium is spent and the only supply is in Berlin. They join the Royal Air Force, fly a Lancaster through a dogfight and enter the lab with Stewie disguised as Hitler. They take the uranium, escape the real Hitler and return home thirty seconds before Mort's trip. Stewie kills the travelling Mort to keep the machine secret.
