Valentine's Day in Quahog

Episode 12 of Family Guy season 11 (S11E12), the 200th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Daniel Palladino and directed by Bob Bowen. First broadcast on 10 February 2013.

Story

Several stories run across one Valentine's Day. Lois talks Peter into spending it in bed, and a former girlfriend of his named Samantha rings to try to break them up. Meg meets an internet date, Toby, who drugs her and takes a kidney for his employer, then keeps his promise of a full day out and gives it back. A shock from a hair straightener leaves Quagmire in the body of a woman, and he settles on living as a lesbian. Consuela crosses the border to her husband Juan, Chris is set up with Herbert's grand-niece Sandy, and Stewie makes a trip to the 1960s, where the girl he kisses proves to be his own mother. Stewie also assembles Brian's former girlfriends, and Mayor West fights the mayor of Weekapaug over Carol.
