First broadcast on 6 May 2012. ## Story After Connie D'Amico and her friends pelt her with dodgeballs in gym class, Meg hears that her friend Ruth is taking a semester in Paris and pays her own way onto the programme. In Paris the pair share a cab with a man who then brings a gang to their flat; Ruth is seized, and Meg is dragged from under the bed while on the phone to Peter. The FBI will not act for 96 hours, so Brian and Stewie fly out. They fail to buy Meg at an auction and are caught, but break free and follow her to a yacht on the Seine, where an emir has bought her as a wife for his son Faisal. Meg accepts, Stewie kills Faisal and wipes her memory, and she is taken home. ## Production and reception - Brian Scully wrote the episode and John Holmquist directed.
