Story
Brian drags Stewie along to a book reading, then makes up for keeping him out all night by taking him to the park. There Stewie meets Penelope, who pays back a boy for pushing him by feeding him taffy laced with superglue. The two find they share an interest in mathematics and weapons, and Stewie is smitten once he learns she killed her mother. Together they wreck the Great Wall of China and bring down the Eiffel Tower. Brian argues that Penelope does it for its own sake, and when Stewie repeats this she demands he kill Brian. He cannot, and thwarts her attempts instead. The pair fight, she agrees to spare Brian and leaves. Meanwhile Lois buys twin beds, and Peter, unable to sleep alone, crushes Quagmire in his.
