Not All Dogs Go to Heaven
Episode 11 of Family Guy season 7 (S07E11), the 121st Family Guy episode overall. Written by Danny Smith and directed by Greg Colton. First broadcast on 29 March 2009.
Story
The Griffins go to Quahog's yearly Star Trek convention, where Peter makes Meg pose beside a man who has mumps. She falls ill, and while recovering in bed she watches Kirk Cameron on television and becomes a born-again Christian. Meg presses her new faith on the family and is shocked to find that Brian is an atheist. When he refuses to convert, she tells the town, and Brian is barred from every bar and shop in Quahog. He pretends to repent so he can drink again, but backs out when Meg takes him to a book burning. Brian argues that a loving God would not have given Meg the life she has, and she admits she does not feel loved. Meanwhile Stewie builds a transporter and beams the Star Trek: The Next Generation actors to his house, only to find them tiresome and send them back.
