Writer and director credits." --- # Chap Stewie Episode 21 of Family Guy season 12 (S12E21), the 231st Family Guy episode overall. Written by Artie Johann and Shawn Ries and directed by Joe Vaux. First broadcast on 18 May 2014. ## Story Peter and Chris destroy the television during a mattress game, and Stewie bites Lois, headbutts Meg and is sent to bed early. He rebuilds his time machine and goes back three years to prevent his own conception. Finding his parents in love, he wrecks the marriage by giving away Peter's pornography and leaving an insult on the wall, and fades from existence. He is born instead to a wealthy British family, bullied by his brothers Jaidan and Aidan and left to the servants. Missing the Griffins, he builds another machine at Oxford, where his new father teaches, and joins his earlier self to remind Peter and Lois of their marriage. The British Stewie fades away and the original returns home, where Cousin Earl shoots him in the arm. ## Production and reception - The broadcast took a 2.0 rating among adults aged 18 to 49 and 3.88 million viewers, the best figures of the night on Fox. ([Wikipedia: Chap Stewie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chap_Stewie)) - Eric Thurm of The A.V. Club graded the episode B minus, calling it one of the tightest the series had produced in some time while noting that Brian is missing from most of it.
