Writer and director credits." --- # Finders Keepers Episode 1 of Family Guy season 12 (S12E01), the 211th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Mike Desilets and Anthony Blasucci and directed by John Holmquist. First broadcast on 29 September 2013. ## Story Peter's breath drives everyone away until a dentist finds a shrimp that has been in his mouth for a week. Celebrating at The Founding Father restaurant, a waiter claims that Stewie's place mat is a genuine treasure map and recounts a tale about Miles Musket. Peter digs up a chest holding a clue and makes the hunt public, which sets the whole of Quahog searching. The clue leads to a grave on Block Island, where a fight breaks out and Lois walks away from Peter. A second clue inside the coffin lid points to McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket. Peter finds everyone there fighting, apologises to Lois, and she works out that the answer lies at The Drunken Clam, where a chest behind a painting holds an expired restaurant coupon. ## Production and reception - Nielsen figures gave it a 2.6 rating and an audience of 5.23 million, second in Fox's animation block that evening behind The Simpsons on 6.37 million. ([Wikipedia: Finders Keepers (Family Guy)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finders_Keepers_(Family_Guy))) - Eric Thurm of The A.V. Club graded it C, writing well of several cutaway gags but calling the main plot formulaic.
