You Can't Handle the Booth!
Episode 16 of Family Guy season 17 (S17E16), the 325th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Damien Fahey and directed by Greg Colton. First broadcast on 24 March 2019.
Story
The Griffins sit down to record a DVD commentary track for an episode of Family Guy. Lois learns two things in the course of it: that Peter was married before, to Sarah Paulson, and that Chris may be the son of Philip Seymour Hoffman rather than of Peter. She walks out and calls the marriage finished. Seth MacFarlane and the rest of the cast then join the family in the booth and set out that all of them are fictional. Lois comes back, takes the point that none of them are real and that they may as well make what they can of it, and patches things up with Peter and the children.
