Farmer Guy
Episode 20 of Family Guy season 11 (S11E20), the 208th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Patrick Meighan and directed by Mike Kim. First broadcast on 12 May 2013.
Story
Local news covers a rise in crime across Quahog, and a burglary at the Griffin house follows. Peter buys a farm, sells the family home on Craigslist and moves everyone to the country. Money runs short and Brian leaves for college to study farming. Sheltering from a tornado, the family find a methamphetamine lab in the storm cellar, and Peter talks Lois into cooking with him until the farm turns a profit. Brian comes back to a household in a poor state, and a news report blames the Griffins for the drugs flooding Quahog and the worsening crime. Lois persuades everyone to go home, the lab explodes and destroys the farm, and the family buy back their old house cheaply after property values collapse.
