## Story

A ghost hunt goes wrong and leaves Peter's hair turned white. The look carries him into work as a local news anchor, where he puts out fake news and quarrels with Tom Tucker. The other story has Brian and Stewie tracing Chris's indifference to girls back to an addiction to online pornography, after which they teach him to fantasise without the Internet.
