# Switch the Flip

Episode 17 of Family Guy season 16 (S16E17), the 306th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Kevin Biggins and directed by Mike Kim. First broadcast on 29 April 2018.

## Story

Stewie puts one of his own inventions to work and swaps voices with Brian, meaning the change as a repair job on a life that is going badly. The plan turns against him. Rather than staying between the two of them, the trouble spreads outwards, and much of Quahog is thrown into disorder before it is settled.
