Quagmire's Baby
Episode 6 of Family Guy season 8 (S08E06), the 132nd Family Guy episode overall. Written by Patrick Meighan and directed by Jerry Langford. First broadcast on 15 November 2009.
Story
At Quagmire's garage sale Peter buys an amateur radio and thinks he is talking to Ronald Reagan's spirit, until the voice proves to be impressionist Rich Little. Returning the radio, he finds a baby in a basket on Quagmire's doorstep. She is Quagmire's daughter, so he keeps her and calls her Anna Lee. Caring for her ruins his sex life, and he puts her up for adoption. Unable to stop thinking about her, he goes to her new home to take her back, but sees that her adoptive parents treat her better and leaves her with them. Meanwhile Stewie clones a dim-witted copy of himself to do his chores and calls him Bitch Stewie. Brian wants one too, so the pair make Bitch Brian, who is even less capable. Both clones eventually disintegrate because they are unstable.
