Writer and director credits." --- # Take My Wife Episode 18 of Family Guy season 13 (S13E18), the 249th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Kevin Biggins and directed by John Holmquist. First broadcast on 17 May 2015. ## Story Lois, Donna and Bonnie book what they describe as a couples holiday in the Bahamas, and Lois arranges for her father Carter to mind the children. Quagmire turns up with a new girlfriend, Kimi, and is allowed to come. The resort proves to be a relationship counselling retreat, where the counsellor Noel decides the couples are badly matched and pairs everyone off differently, which leaves Lois jealous. A rebellion appears to break out, Noel appears to be shot, and the group is captured and led away two at a time to be executed, all of it staged by Noel to make the couples state their feelings. At home, Carter takes the children's devices away and wins them round with pranks, though the television has them again within moments of their parents returning. ## Production and reception - The first broadcast drew 2.85 million viewers and placed 31st for the week, ahead of both The Simpsons and Bob's Burgers on Fox that night. ([Wikipedia: Take My Wife (Family Guy)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_My_Wife_(Family_Guy))) - Jesse Schedeen of IGN scored the season finale 4.7 out of 10, faulting the show for unlikeable characters, shock humour and conflicts that repeated earlier ones.
