Written by Chris Sheridan and directed by Julius Wu. First broadcast on 21 March 2010. ## Story At a preschool play Peter films Stewie's stage fright and pesters Richard Dreyfuss in the audience. He sells the footage to TMZ, buys a proper camera and hounds local celebrities until Ollie Williams breaks it and his glasses. Wearing contact lenses to work, Peter attracts his boss Angela, who demands sexual favours and invites him to her house. He hides Quagmire inside his clothes to stand in for him, but Quagmire backs out and Angela sacks Peter for refusing her. Resolving to confront her, Peter drives to her house and finds her trying to kill herself in her car. He revives her, and she admits she has been alone for ten years. Disguised as an Englishman called Reginald Knickerbocker, Peter takes her to dinner and, with Mort hidden in his clothes, sleeps with her. Her will to live restored, Angela sees through the disguise and rehires him. ## Production and reception - The first broadcast on 21 March 2010 was watched by 6.65 million viewers with a 3.5/8 rating among 18 to 49 year olds.
