Episode 9 of Family Guy season 9 (S09E09), the 156th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Alec Sulkin and directed by Dominic Bianchi. First broadcast on 16 January 2011.
Story
Lois takes a liking to the new co-anchor Joyce Kinney and runs into her while buying ingredients for a church bake sale. The two become friendly, spend an evening drinking and trade secrets, and Lois admits she appeared in a pornographic film at college. Joyce broadcasts the story the next day. Challenged over it, she reveals that the two were at school together, where she was fat and surnamed Chevapravatdumrong, and that Lois humiliated her in front of everyone. The town shuns the Griffins and the preacher turns them out of church. On Brian's advice Lois faces the matter down by showing the film to the congregation, which takes her back, to Joyce's irritation. Stewie, meanwhile, suspects he was conceived during the filming.
