Writer and director credits." --- # Baby, You Knock Me Out Episode 5 of Family Guy season 9 (S09E05), the 152nd Family Guy episode overall. Written by Alex Carter and directed by Julius Wu. First broadcast on 14 November 2010. ## Story For Peter's birthday Quagmire hands him tickets to a women's boxing club, where Lois is put forward for a bout and flattens her opponent at once. The owner urges her to turn professional and she refuses, until Peter blindfolds her and delivers her to another fight in the belief she is going to a restaurant. Furious with him, she pictures him across the ring and wins. She trains, rises to the top of the Quahog rankings, then quits after her nose is broken, telling Peter the anger she fights on is aimed at him. At a ceremony in her honour the undefeated Deirdre Jackson humiliates Peter and goads Lois back. Beaten around for six rounds, Lois recovers from a left hook and knocks Jackson out. ## Production and reception - Alex Borstein announced the episode at the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con.
