Writer and director credits." --- # Quagmire's Quagmire Episode 3 of Family Guy season 12 (S12E03), the 213th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Cherry Chevapravatdumrong and directed by Pete Michels. First broadcast on 3 November 2013. ## Story Quagmire meets Sonya at a computer service counter after his new machine crashes, and they find they share a taste for extreme sex. His friends tell him to be careful, and he turns up at the Clam hiding black eyes behind sunglasses. Sonya then beats him outside the bar and drives off with him shut in the boot of his car. Ida raises the alarm, and Peter and Joe search Quagmire's usual haunts before tracing Sonya to a storage container, where they find him beaten and suspended. Sonya takes Joe's gun, which does not fire because he keeps it unloaded, and Joe handcuffs her. Meanwhile Lois finds Stewie's first teddy bear, Oscar, in storage, and Stewie wavers between the two toys before settling on Rupert. Oscar is later seen hanged in the attic. ## Production and reception - Sonya was voiced by Rachael MacFarlane, and this was the last episode directed by Pete Michels, who had worked on the series since it began.

Club graded it B plus, taking issue with the main plot but calling the Rupert and Oscar story the best part.
