Story
Peter, Joe and Quagmire use a student card Joe took off a rude teenager to spend a day at Harvard and a night out afterwards. Drunk, Quagmire marries an elderly prostitute called Charmese, who will not let the marriage go, and Joe warns him that divorce would cost him everything. When Charmese asks whether he is gay and says that would end things, Quagmire claims that he is, and then has to prove it by sleeping with a man. Peter agrees, insisting on a date first. Charmese calls a halt before anything happens, grants the divorce and tells Quagmire he treated her better than any other man had. The webcam on his laptop has been sending the scene to the Griffins.
