Story
Carol Pewterschmidt arrives at the Griffin house in low spirits after her ninth husband leaves her, and Lois takes her in. Mayor Adam West calls at the door, the two find they have a good deal in common, and a date and a first kiss on the beach lead to a proposal that Carol accepts. Peter is delighted at the prospect of West as a brother-in-law. Lois, uneasy at how recently the last marriage ended, sits three of Carol's former husbands down at dinner to make her point, and Carol calls the engagement off. West resolves to move to Alaska. Peter reminds Lois that their own match was doubted, and she relents. They reach the airport too late, but Quagmire is flying the plane and Peter tricks him into turning back. Carol and West marry.
