Baking Bad
Episode 3 of Family Guy season 13 (S13E03), the 234th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Mark Hentemann and directed by Jerry Langford. First broadcast on 19 October 2014.
Story
News of an earthquake in Haiti prompts Lois to hold a blood drive, and she bribes Peter into taking part with cookies made to her grandmother's recipe. He talks her into opening a shop, and the bank manager approves the loan after tasting one. Trade is slow, so Peter follows Quagmire's advice and hires women in bikinis, then turns the place into a strip club, at which point Lois walks out. Peter admits he was wrong and Lois hands the shop back to the bank. In a second storyline, Stewie cannot sleep without a bedtime story from Lois, so Brian gives him cough medicine. Stewie takes to the alcohol in it, injures another child in a Big Wheel crash and comes home to an intervention.
