First broadcast on 18 March 2012. ## Story Peter breaks a promise to spend Sunday at home and goes off to play laser tag with Brian, Joe and Quagmire. He wins and buys a novelty newspaper front page saying he has destroyed the world. Lois tells Brian that he only sides with Peter because the two happen to live together. Driving to the Drunken Clam, the four run into strange lights and wake in hospital with no memory, finding Quahog deserted. Piecing together the wrong clues, they decide Peter is an alien who has killed everyone. Joe and Quagmire fetch weapons while Brian, who has warmed to Peter, warns him and takes the shot meant for him. Brian then wakes: Stewie had wired the four into a simulation to test the friendship. Lois, Meg and Bonnie are wired to a second machine. ## Production and reception - David A. Goodman wrote the episode and Brian Iles directed.
