Writer and director credits." --- # Brian the Closer Episode 4 of Family Guy season 13 (S13E04), the 235th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Steve Marmel and directed by John Holmquist. First broadcast on 9 November 2014. ## Story Peter grows jealous of Brian's old rope toy and ties it to his car, and Brian is thrown into a fire hydrant and loses his teeth. Lois will not pay for a dentist, so Quagmire passes on the number of his own, who fits Brian a striking new set. Mistaken in the street for an estate agent, Brian is offered work at Quahog Realty and sells well, so the owner hands him a run-down condo. Brian repays Quagmire for the dental work, then talks him into buying the place. The men find it derelict, and Joe points out a 72-hour clause that would undo the sale. Brian hides in a motel until the time runs out; Quagmire finds him there and knocks the new teeth out with a lamp. ## Production and reception - Cutaways turn Peter into Gollum and then into Johnny 5 from Short Circuit while he covets the rope toy.

Brian also sells a house overlooking a camp to Jason Voorhees.
