Written by Anthony Blasucci and Mike Desilets and directed by Jerry Langford. First broadcast on 17 February 2013. ## Story Teased over his cheap trainers and refused money by Lois, Chris takes cash from her purse. Meg catches him and makes him do whatever she asks, and her demands run from ordinary errands to criminal ones, so Chris moves in with Herbert. With Meg covering for his absence, Herbert discovers that living with Chris is less pleasant than he had imagined, and throws him out after a night of mess and refusal. Meg finds Chris, apologises, and the two agree they need each other to survive the family. In a second strand Stewie and Brian become devoted to the singer Anne Murray, travel to Canada to ask her what "Snowbird" means, and Stewie ties her up on learning that she did not write it. ## Production and reception - The Canadian singer Anne Murray guest stars as herself in the Brian and Stewie strand. ([Wikipedia: Chris Cross (Family Guy)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Cross_(Family_Guy))) - It took a 2.4 rating among adults aged 18 to 49 and 4.87 million viewers, the most watched title on the Fox animation line-up that night. ([Wikipedia: Chris Cross (Family Guy)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Cross_(Family_Guy))) - Alasdair Wilkins of The A.V. Club graded it C, finding the main story short of a comic target and getting by on low-key observation, while rating the Brian and Stewie strand well above it. ([Wikipedia: Chris Cross (Family Guy)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Cross_(Family_Guy))) - Carter Dotson of TV Fanatic rated it 1.5 out of 5, calling Murray's own appearance the funniest part of a story with little to laugh at.
