Pal Stewie
Episode 3 of Family Guy season 17 (S17E03), the 312th Family Guy episode overall. Written by John Viener and Matt Pabian and directed by Brian Iles. First broadcast on 14 October 2018.
Story
A friendship with Hudson, a boy of his own age, lifts Stewie's temperament. It does not hold. Believing that Hudson has left him off the guest list for his birthday party, Stewie takes the slight as a betrayal and reverts to his darker self. Lois takes Peter along to a Tony Robbins self-empowerment seminar, and he comes away more assertive than before.
